  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 2 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by Prismer-AI on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Prismer Apple Notes AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/Prismer-AI/PrismerCloud/tree/main/sdk/cloud/catalog/skills/prismer-apple-notes
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Prismer-AI/PrismerCloud.git /tmp/PrismerCloud
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/PrismerCloud/sdk/cloud/catalog/skills/prismer-apple-notes .claude/skills/prismer-apple-notes
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Prismer Apple Notes in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Prismer Apple Notes on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Prismer Apple Notes is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Prismer execution contract

This is the uniquely named prismer-apple-notes skill, adapted from Hermes. Use the actual tools exposed by the executing host; examples using terminal, process, delegate_task, vision_analyze or browser_* are not tool registrations. Missing dependencies do not hide this skill. Report command startup, version, account/permissions and task-specific live verification separately. Use task-owned artifact paths and existing user authorization; do not change shared accounts, Runtime/provider configuration, global security settings or unrelated work. See NOTICE.md and LICENSE for resource provenance. Runtime availability and upstream-entry suppression are owned by the integration layer.

Apple Notes

Use memo to manage Apple Notes directly from the terminal. Notes sync across all Apple devices via iCloud.

Prerequisites

Run python3 "$SKILL_ROOT/scripts/readiness.py" notes using this installed skill's absolute directory. A PATH hit may be a broken Python launcher; a failed help/startup check is a dependency failure, not Notes authorization. Record the installed package version separately. Account sync and Automation require live acceptance on the executing Mac and are not tested by this helper.

  • macOS with Notes.app
  • Install: brew tap antoniorodr/memo && brew install antoniorodr/memo/memo
  • Grant Automation access to Notes.app when prompted (System Settings → Privacy → Automation)

When to Use

  • User asks to create, view, or search Apple Notes
  • Saving information to Notes.app for cross-device access
  • Organizing notes into folders
  • Exporting notes to Markdown/HTML

When NOT to Use

  • Obsidian vault management → use the obsidian skill
  • Bear Notes → separate app (not supported here)
  • Quick agent-only notes → use the memory tool instead

Quick Reference

View Notes

bash
memo notes                        # List all notes
memo notes -f "Folder Name"       # Filter by folder
memo notes -s "query"             # Search notes (fuzzy)

Create Notes

bash
memo notes -a                     # Add a note (opens your $EDITOR)
memo notes -a -f "Folder Name"    # Add a note into a specific folder

-a/--add is a bare flag — it opens your $EDITOR to compose the note; it does not take a title argument. Use -f/--folder to target a folder. Set $EDITOR first (e.g. export EDITOR=vim).

Edit Notes

bash
memo notes -e                     # Interactive selection to edit

Delete Notes

bash
memo notes -d                     # Interactive selection to delete

Move Notes

bash
memo notes -m                     # Move note to folder (interactive)

Export Notes

bash
memo notes -ex                    # Export to HTML/Markdown

Limitations

  • Cannot edit notes containing images or attachments
  • Interactive prompts require terminal access (use pty=true if needed)
  • macOS only — requires Apple Notes.app

Rules

  1. Prefer Apple Notes when user wants cross-device sync (iPhone/iPad/Mac)
  2. Use the memory tool for agent-internal notes that don't need to sync
  3. Use the obsidian skill for Markdown-native knowledge management
  4. Select the exact authorized note/folder before editing, deleting or moving; read back the result. Do not overwrite attachment-bearing notes.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Prismer Apple Notes AI skill do?

Manage Apple Notes via memo CLI: create, search, edit.

Why use Prismer Apple Notes on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Prismer Apple Notes is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Prismer Apple Notes in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/Prismer-AI/PrismerCloud/tree/main/sdk/cloud/catalog/skills/prismer-apple-notes. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Prismer Apple Notes?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Prismer Apple Notes?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Prismer Apple Notes with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Prismer Apple Notes AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by Prismer-AI under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
