Apple Notes CLI (note)

Use the note CLI to manage Apple Notes directly from the terminal. You can list, read, create, edit, move, search, and delete notes, organize them into folders, and sync data across devices. It is the notes-focused companion to the event CLI (Reminders/Calendar) — same architecture, separate backend.

Invocation & Arguments

Treat $ARGUMENTS as a free-form natural-language instruction and map it to the appropriate note command(s) documented below. Examples:

• /apple-notes save a note titled "Trip plan" with my packing list -> note notes create ...
• /apple-notes what's in my Side Project Ideas note? -> find the id via note notes search/list, then note notes show --id <ID>
• /apple-notes move "Trip plan" to the Archive folder -> resolve the id, then note notes move ...

When no arguments are given

If $ARGUMENTS is empty, do not default to listing. Instead, infer intent from the current conversation:

1. Scan the recent conversation for something the user might want captured as a note — an idea, a snippet, a list, a draft, reference material, or a decision worth keeping.
2. Confirm with the AskUserQuestion tool before creating anything. Present the inferred title, body, and target folder so the user can confirm, adjust, or decline. Never create in the no-args path without explicit confirmation.
3. If nothing captureable is found, use AskUserQuestion to ask what the user would like to save rather than guessing.
