draft-hold — human-in-the-loop drafts via macOS Notes

Self-Evolving skill — if macOS Notes/Stickies behavior drifts from what's below, fix this SKILL.md and the shared engine scripts/lib/notes-core.ts (+ a case in notes-core.test.ts); see the Post-Execution Reflection at the bottom.

When you compose something a human should confirm or edit before it goes out (a message to a real person, an announcement, a commit body), don't keep it only in chat — park it in macOS Notes so the operator can edit it on any device, then read it back and act on the edited version.

Resolve the entrypoint first — $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT is NOT a shell variable and expands to empty here (it exists only inside plugin manifests and hook/MCP subprocesses; see the $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT invariant in the plugin CLAUDE.md). Never glob the version cache either — it retains orphaned versions. Use the resolver:

DH="$(cc-plugin-root notes-commander)/skills/draft-hold/draft-hold.sh"

draft-hold.sh is a thin shim that execs the Bun/TypeScript engine scripts/draft-hold.ts, built on the plugin's shared notes-core engine (which also powers notes-inventory/notes-export/notes-organize).

Formatting is handled in code — just write naturally

The engine (formatter in scripts/lib/notes-core.ts, unit-tested in notes-core.test.ts) normalizes your input into Notes HTML, so you never hand-manage line breaks:
