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

1. If the user only wants the app opened, use open -a Reminders.
2. For reminder creation, use osascript against the Reminders application.
3. 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.
