agentic-in Apple Reminders
Use this skill when the user wants a reminder tracked in Reminders.app instead of a transient todo list inside the current chat session.
Preferred Flow
- If the user only wants the app opened, use
open -a Reminders. - For reminder creation, use
osascriptagainst theRemindersapplication. - Default to the default account and default list unless the user names a specific list.
Reminder Creation Pattern
- Keep the reminder title short and literal.
- Put extra context in the reminder body/notes field when needed.
- Only attach a due date when the user explicitly gave one and it can be represented unambiguously.
Guardrails
- Do not silently invent dates, times, or reminder lists.
- If the user asked for a durable reminder, prefer Reminders.app over the in-session todo tool.
- If AppleScript returns a permissions or automation error, surface it directly so the user can grant access.
