| description | Capture and retrieve quick notes in the OS-native notes app — Apple Notes on macOS, a markdown notes folder on Linux, Sticky Notes/OneNote on Windows. For an Obsidian vault specifically, use the obsidian skill. Use when asked to "make a note", "save this", "jot down", "what did I note about". |

Notes (OS-native)
Capture quick notes using whatever is native to the OS. For Obsidian, defer to the obsidian
skill; this one is for the built-in notes experience.
macOS — Apple Notes (osascript)
osascript -e 'tell application "Notes" to make new note at folder "Notes" with properties {name:"Groceries", body:"milk, eggs"}'
List/search:
osascript -e 'tell application "Notes" to get name of every note'
Windows — OneNote / plain file
OneNote via PowerShell COM is heavy; the reliable cross-tool path is a markdown notes folder
($Env:USERPROFILE\Notes\): append a timestamped entry to a .md and search it. Sticky Notes
has no scripting API — don't promise it.
Linux — markdown notes folder
Use a ~/Notes/ (or $NOTES_DIR) folder of markdown files:
- Create →
Write a new ~/Notes/<slug>.md with a # Title and the body.
- Append →
Edit to add a dated bullet to an existing note.
- Search →
@search over ~/Notes/*.md.
Cross-platform default
When unsure, use the markdown notes folder approach (works everywhere, greppable, future-proof)
and tell the user where it lives. This keeps notes portable rather than locked in an app.
Rules
- Don't overwrite existing notes — append or create.
- Echo back what was saved and where, so the user can find it later.
