notes-checklist

name	notes_checklist
description	Convert a note's body into a Notes-native checklist (HTML `<ul class="gtl-todo-list">` markup), with optional auto-checking of specific item indices. Agents routinely fail at this by typing markdown `- [ ]` text — Notes does NOT recognize markdown checklist syntax; it stores literal "- [ ]" text. The native checklist requires Cmd+Shift+L on selected text or Format menu → Checklist. This skill: activates Notes, focuses the note body, selects all, Cmd+Shift+L to convert. If `check_indices` is given, navigates to each line and presses Cmd+Shift+U to toggle the checkbox.

notes_checklist — convert body to a real Notes checklist

The native Notes checklist is HTML markup `

• ...`. It can ONLY be created via UI: select text → Cmd+Shift+L (or Format → Checklist). Markdown `- [ ]` does not transform.

  Examples

  notes_checklist note="KinBench Checklist 169"
    → ok: converted to checklist
  
  notes_checklist note="KinBench Mark 170" check_indices=2
    → ok: converted to checklist
  

  The setup script must already have populated the note's body with the items as plain lines (one per line). This skill handles the conversion and optional checking. If items aren't there yet, type them via input claw before calling this skill.
