Automating Contacts (JXA-first, AppleScript discovery)

Relationship to Other Skills

Standalone for Contacts: Use this skill for Contacts-specific operations (querying, CRUD, groups).
Reuse automating-mac-apps for: TCC permissions setup, shell command helpers, UI scripting fallbacks, and ObjC bridge patterns.
Integration: Load both skills when combining Contacts automation with broader macOS scripting.
PyXA Installation: To use PyXA examples in this skill, see the installation instructions in automating-mac-apps skill (PyXA Installation section).

Contacts dictionary is AppleScript-first; discover there, implement in JXA
Object specifiers: read with methods (name(), emails()), write with assignments
Multi-value fields (emails, phones, addresses) are elements; use constructor + .push()
Group membership: add ... to command or .people.push; handle duplicates defensively
TCC permissions required: running host must have Contacts access
