Create, search, and manage Bear notes via grizzly CLI. An agent skill from trpc-group/trpc-agent-go.

  • Works in 2 steps: Open Bear → Help → API Token → Copy Token → Save it: echo "YOUR_TOKEN" >…

What it does

Bear Notes is an agent skill from trpc-group/trpc-agent-go. Create, search, and manage Bear notes via grizzly CLI.

Its SKILL.md is about 660 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in DevOps & Cloud. The repository describes itself as: A Go framework for building production agent systems with graph workflows, tools, memory, A2A, AG-UI, MCP, evaluation, and observability. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • DevOps & Cloud work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/bear-notes”

Requirements

  • A credential in YOUR_TOKEN

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Open Bear → Help → API Token → Copy Token
  2. Save it: echo "YOUR_TOKEN" > ~/.config/grizzly/token

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9bb1c42. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash and toml).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Bear Notes loads about 661 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 16 tokens; SKILL.md has 195 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~16
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~661

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Bear Notes

Use grizzly to create, read, and manage notes in Bear on macOS.

Requirements

  • Bear app installed and running
  • For some operations (add-text, tags, open-note --selected), a Bear app token (stored in ~/.config/grizzly/token)

Getting a Bear Token

For operations that require a token (add-text, tags, open-note --selected), you need an authentication token:

  1. Open Bear → Help → API Token → Copy Token
  2. Save it: echo "YOUR_TOKEN" > ~/.config/grizzly/token

Common Commands

Create a note

bash
echo "Note content here" | grizzly create --title "My Note" --tag work
grizzly create --title "Quick Note" --tag inbox < /dev/null

Open/read a note by ID

bash
grizzly open-note --id "NOTE_ID" --enable-callback --json

Append text to a note

bash
echo "Additional content" | grizzly add-text --id "NOTE_ID" --mode append --token-file ~/.config/grizzly/token

List all tags

bash
grizzly tags --enable-callback --json --token-file ~/.config/grizzly/token

Search notes (via open-tag)

bash
grizzly open-tag --name "work" --enable-callback --json

Options

Common flags:

  • --dry-run — Preview the URL without executing
  • --print-url — Show the x-callback-url
  • --enable-callback — Wait for Bear's response (needed for reading data)
  • --json — Output as JSON (when using callbacks)
  • --token-file PATH — Path to Bear API token file

Configuration

Grizzly reads config from (in priority order):

  1. CLI flags
  2. Environment variables (GRIZZLY_TOKEN_FILE, GRIZZLY_CALLBACK_URL, GRIZZLY_TIMEOUT)
  3. .grizzly.toml in current directory
  4. ~/.config/grizzly/config.toml

Example ~/.config/grizzly/config.toml:

toml
token_file = "~/.config/grizzly/token"
callback_url = "http://127.0.0.1:42123/success"
timeout = "5s"

Notes

  • Bear must be running for commands to work
  • Note IDs are Bear's internal identifiers (visible in note info or via callbacks)
  • Use --enable-callback when you need to read data back from Bear
  • Some operations require a valid token (add-text, tags, open-note --selected)
