Notes Commander

Park a draft message/text in macOS Notes for the operator to review and edit, then read it back before acting (e.g. before sending to a real person). Notes is the source of truth (AppleScript CRUD, iCloud-synced, provenance-stamped with the Claude Code session UUID); Stickies is a best-effort view-only desktop mirror. Use whenever you draft something a human should confirm/edit before it is sent or committed — messages, replies, announcements, anything outbound. TRIGGERS - park this draft, park the message, hold this draft, let me edit first, draft for my approval, save to notes for review, read back the draft.

Analyze the macOS Notes folder taxonomy and propose a better organization - find empty/near-empty folders, oversized dumping grounds, duplicate-purpose folders, mixed-language naming, and stale content; then present a target hierarchy for operator approval BEFORE any moves. Use when notes feel sporadic/messy, before a big cleanup, or to review organization health periodically. TRIGGERS - audit my notes, notes are a mess, propose notes organization, analyze notes folders, notes cleanup plan.

Export/back up EVERY macOS Notes note (all accounts, all folders) to local storage as markdown files plus a JSON manifest — the safety net to run BEFORE any reorganization, and the corpus the notes-audit skill analyzes. Read-only against Notes; writes only to ~/.local/share/notes-commander/export/. TRIGGERS - export my notes, back up notes, notes snapshot, dump notes to disk, notes backup before reorganizing.

Reorganize macOS Notes deliberately - create folders (incl. nested subfolders), move notes between folders, rename folders, and merge/empty a folder into another. Every destructive-ish verb supports --dry-run, and the workflow REQUIRES a notes-export snapshot first. Use when folderizing sporadic notes, splitting an oversized folder, consolidating near-empty folders, or executing a notes-audit proposal. TRIGGERS - organize my notes, move this note, create notes folder, folderize, merge folders, clean up notes folders, rename notes folder.

List every macOS Notes account, folder (including nested subfolders), and per-folder note count — the sidebar as machine-readable data. Use to see what exists before organizing, to answer "how many notes are in X", or as the first step of an audit/export. Read-only, safe. TRIGGERS - list my notes folders, notes inventory, how many notes, what folders do I have, show my notes structure.
