SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires grizzly.

What problem does it solve? Managing Bear notes from the terminal or an AI assistant normally requires manual interaction with the Bear app; this Skill lets you create, read, append, and search notes programmatically through the grizzly CLI. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Note Creation: Create new Bear notes with titles and tags by piping content into grizzly. - Read & Append: Open notes by ID with callbacks to read content, and append text to existing notes using a Bear API token. - Tag & Search: List all tags and search notes by tag using Bear's x-callback-url mechanism with JSON output. - Use Case: After a meeting, ask the assistant to save your summary as a tagged Bear note and later append follow-up action items to the same note. ## Quick Start Create a Bear note titled "Meeting Notes" tagged with work containing the text I provide.

Frequently Asked Questions about bear-notes

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a Bear note from the command line?▼

Pipe content into grizzly with a title and optional tag, for example: echo "content" | grizzly create --title "My Note" --tag work. The Bear app must be installed and running on macOS for the command to succeed.

How do I get a Bear API token for grizzly?▼

Open Bear, go to Help, then API Token, and copy the token. Save it with: echo "YOUR_TOKEN" > ~/.config/grizzly/token. The token is required for add-text, tags, and open-note --selected operations.

Does grizzly work on Windows or Linux?▼

No. This Skill targets macOS only because it drives the Bear app through Bear's x-callback-url scheme. The skill metadata declares darwin as the supported operating system.

Why does grizzly return no data when reading a note?▼

Reading data back from Bear requires the --enable-callback flag so grizzly waits for Bear's x-callback response, plus --json for structured output. Without callbacks, commands only trigger the action in Bear.

How do I search Bear notes by tag with grizzly?▼

Use grizzly open-tag --name "tagname" --enable-callback --json to open and retrieve notes under a specific tag. Listing all available tags requires grizzly tags with a valid token file.
