notesctl-skill-for-openclawManage Apple Notes via deterministic local scripts (create, append, list, search, export, and edit). Use when a user asks OpenClaw to add a note, list notes, search notes, or manage note folders.
Install via ClawdBot CLI:
clawdbot install clinchcc/notesctl-skill-for-openclawMinimize token usage and avoid fragile quoting by routing Apple Notes operations through bundled scripts.
