SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes friction from creating and maintaining Apple Reminders by letting you manage tasks from the command line instead of switching to the Reminders app.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • List and search reminders: View reminders by time scope such as today, tomorrow, week, overdue, a specific date, or everything.
  • Manage reminder lists: Create, list, and delete Reminders lists to keep your tasks organized.
  • Create and update tasks: Add reminders with due dates, complete reminders by ID, and delete reminders safely.
  • Output for scripting: Use JSON or plain/TSV output formats to integrate reminder workflows with other automations.

Example use case: You need to add a recurring work checklist for multiple days, so you filter by date and use JSON output to confirm the created items before you leave your laptop.
