bear-notes
Bear-notes enables command-line creation, searching, and management of notes in Bear for macOS through the grizzly CLI tool. Use this skill when you need to programmatically create notes with tags, append content to existing notes, retrieve note IDs, list tags, or search notes by tag name, all while Bear is running on the system.

# Bear Notes Use `grizzly` to create, read, and manage notes in Bear on macOS. Requirements - Bear app installed and running - For some operations (add-text, tags, open-note --selected), a Bear app token (stored in `~/.config/grizzly/token`) ## Getting a Bear Token For operations that require a token (add-text, tags, open-note --selected), you need an authentication token: 1. Open Bear → Help → API Token → Copy Token 2. Save it: `echo "YOUR_TOKEN" > ~/.config/grizzly/token` ## Common Commands Create a note ```bash echo "Note content here" | grizzly create --title "My Note" --tag work grizzly create --title "Quick Note" --tag inbox < /dev/null ``` Open/read a note by ID ```bash grizzly open-note --id "NOTE_ID" --enable-callback --json ``` Append text to a note ```bash echo "Additional content" | grizzly add-text --id "NOTE_ID" --mode append --token-file ~/.config/grizzly/token ``` List all tags ```bash grizzly tags --enable-callback --json --token-file ~/.config/grizzly/token ``` Search notes (via open-tag) ```bash grizzly open-tag --name "work" --enable-callback --json ``` ## Options Common flags: - `--dry-run` — Preview the URL without executing - `--print-url` — Show the x-callback-url - `--enable-callback` — Wait for Bear's response (needed for reading data) - `--json` — Output as JSON (when using callbacks) - `--token-file PATH` — Path to Bear API token file ## Configuration Grizzly reads config from (in priority order): 1. CLI flags 2. Environment variables (`GRIZZLY_TOKEN_FILE`, `GRIZZLY_CALLBACK_URL`, `GRIZZLY_TIMEOUT`) 3. `.grizzly.toml` in current directory 4. `~/.config/grizzly/config.toml` Example `~/.config/grizzly/config.toml`: ```toml token_file = "~/.config/grizzly/token" callback_url = "http://127.0.0.1:42123/success" timeout = "5s" ``` ## Notes - Bear must be running for commands to work - Note IDs are Bear's internal identifiers (visible in note info or via callbacks) - Use `--enable-callback` when you need to read data back from Bear - Some operations require a valid token (add-text, tags, open-note --selected)
Set up and use 1Password CLI (op). Use when installing the CLI, enabling desktop app integration, signing in (single or multi-account), or reading/injecting/running secrets via op.
Manage Apple Notes via the memo CLI on macOS (create, view, search, edit).
Manage Apple Reminders via remindctl CLI (list, add, complete, delete).
Generate dark-themed SVG diagrams of software systems and cloud infrastructure as standalone HTML files with inline SVG graphics. Semantic component colors (cyan=frontend, emerald=backend, violet=database, amber=cloud/AWS, rose=security, orange=message bus), JetBrains Mono font, grid background. Best suited for software architecture, cloud/VPC topology, microservice maps, service-mesh diagrams, database + API layer diagrams, security groups, message buses — anything that fits a tech-infra deck with a dark aesthetic. If a more specialized diagramming skill exists for the subject (scientific, educational, hand-drawn, animated, etc.), prefer that — otherwise this skill can also serve as a general-purpose SVG diagram fallback. Based on Cocoon AI's architecture-diagram-generator (MIT).
Search and retrieve academic papers from arXiv using their free REST API. No API key needed. Search by keyword, author, category, or ID. Combine with web_extract or the ocr-and-documents skill to read full paper content.
Generate ASCII art using pyfiglet (571 fonts), cowsay, boxes, toilet, image-to-ascii, remote APIs (asciified, ascii.co.uk), and LLM fallback. No API keys required.
Production pipeline for ASCII art video — any format. Converts video/audio/images/generative input into colored ASCII character video output (MP4, GIF, image sequence). Covers: video-to-ASCII conversion, audio-reactive music visualizers, generative ASCII art animations, hybrid video+audio reactive, text/lyrics overlays, real-time terminal rendering. Use when users request: ASCII video, text art video, terminal-style video, character art animation, retro text visualization, audio visualizer in ASCII, converting video to ASCII art, matrix-style effects, or any animated ASCII output.
PyTorch library for audio generation including text-to-music (MusicGen) and text-to-sound (AudioGen). Use when you need to generate music from text descriptions, create sound effects, or perform melody-conditioned music generation.
