What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes friction from creating, searching, and updating Bear notes by letting you drive Bear through the grizzly CLI instead of manually working inside the Bear app.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Note creation and editing: Create a note and append text to an existing note by title, ID, tags, and piped content.
  • Discovery and reading: Open a note by ID and list tags or search notes by tag for faster retrieval.
