Demerzels Lab Elsamultiskillagent Mac Reminders Agent

Mac Reminders Agent

Overview

This skill integrates with the local macOS Reminders app to:

• View and organize today's/this week's reminders (work/personal/sessions)
• Add new reminders based on natural language requests
• Multi-language support: English, Korean, Japanese, Chinese

The skill uses the following files relative to its directory:

• cli.js (unified entry point)
• reminders/apple-bridge.js (backend: AppleScript + applescript npm module)
• locales.json (language-specific triggers and responses)

Language Support

The skill automatically detects user language or can be explicitly set via --locale parameter.

Supported Languages

Language Detection

1. Explicit: Use --locale parameter
2. Automatic: Detect from user's message language
3. Default: Falls back to en (English)

How It Works

User natural language requests are handled in two cases:

1. List reminders (list)
2. Add reminder (add)

For each case, call the Node.js CLI, receive JSON results, and format them using locale-specific templates.

1) List Reminders

Trigger Examples (by language)

English:

• "What do I have to do today?"
• "Show me today's reminders"
• "What's on my schedule this week?"

Korean (한국어):

• "오늘 할 일 뭐 있어?"
• "오늘 미리알림 정리해줘"
• "이번 주 일정 뭐 있어?"

Japanese (日本語):

• "今日のタスクは？"
• "今日のリマインダーを見せて"

Chinese (中文):

• "今天有什么任务？"
• "显示今天的提醒"

Command Invocation

# List with default locale (en)
node skills/mac-reminders-agent/cli.js list --scope today

# List with specific locale
node skills/mac-reminders-agent/cli.js list --scope week --locale ko

Scope Options

• today - Today only
• week - This week (today ~ +7 days)
• all - All reminders

Output Format

Returns JSON array:

[
  {
    "title": "Task title",
    "due": "2026-02-05T16:30:00" | null
  }
]

Response Formatting

Use locales.json templates to format responses in user's language:

English:

[Incomplete Reminders]
- 2/2 (Mon) 09:00 [Work] Meeting
- 2/3 (Tue) 14:00 [Personal] Visit bank

[Completed]
- 2/1 (Sun) [Work] Submit report ✅

Korean:

[미완료 미리알림]
- 2/2 (월) 09:00 [업무] 회의
- 2/3 (화) 14:00 [개인] 은행 방문

[완료됨]
- 2/1 (일) [업무] 보고서 제출 ✅

2) Add Reminder

Trigger Examples (by language)

English:

• "Add a meeting reminder for 9am tomorrow"
• "Set a reminder to submit report by Friday"

Korean (한국어):

• "내일 아침 9시에 회의 미리알림 추가해줘"
• "이번 주 금요일까지 보고서 제출 미리알림 넣어줘"

Japanese (日本語):

• "明日の朝9時に会議のリマインダーを追加して"

Chinese (中文):

• "添加明天早上9点的会议提醒"

Command Invocation

# Add with locale
node skills/mac-reminders-agent/cli.js add --title "Meeting" --due "2026-02-05T09:00:00+09:00" --locale ko

Parameters

• --title (required): Reminder title
• --due (optional): ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss+09:00)
• --note (optional): Additional notes
• --locale (optional): Response language (en, ko, ja, zh)

Response Examples

English:

• "Added 'Meeting' reminder for 9am tomorrow."
• "Added 'Submit report' reminder without a due date."

Korean:

• "'회의' 미리알림을 추가했어요 (내일 오전 9시)."
• "'보고서 제출' 미리알림을 추가했어요 (마감일 없음)."

Error Handling

Locale-aware Error Messages

English:

• "There was a problem accessing the Reminders app."

Korean:

• "미리알림 앱에 접근하는 데 문제가 생겼어요."

Japanese:

• "リマインダーアプリへのアクセスに問題が発生しました。"

Fallback Suggestions

When automatic integration fails, offer alternatives in user's language.

Environment Constraints

• macOS only: Uses AppleScript to control Reminders app
• Dependency: Requires applescript npm module

Summary

• Multi-language support via locales.json (en, ko, ja, zh)
• Core commands: list --scope today|week|all [--locale XX] and add --title ... [--due ...] [--locale XX]
• Automatically detect user language or use explicit --locale parameter
• Format responses using locale-specific templates
