SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires grizzly.

What problem does it solve? Managing Bear notes from the terminal or an AI agent normally requires manually crafting x-callback-url schemes and handling Bear's API tokens. This Skill wraps the grizzly CLI so you can create, read, append to, and search Bear notes with simple commands. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Note Creation: Create new Bear notes with titles and tags by piping content into grizzly. - Note Reading & Editing: Open notes by ID, append text, and list tags using Bear's x-callback-url API with JSON output. - Token & Config Management: Handles Bear API token storage and layered configuration via flags, environment variables, or TOML config files. - Use Case: After a meeting, ask the agent to save your summary as a tagged Bear note and later append follow-up action items to the same note by ID. ## Quick Start Create a new 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 Linux or Windows?▼

No. grizzly communicates with the Bear app through macOS x-callback-url schemes, and Bear itself is only available on Apple platforms. The skill metadata specifies darwin as the required operating system.

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

Reading data from Bear requires the --enable-callback flag so grizzly waits for Bear's x-callback-url response, plus --json for structured output. Without --enable-callback, the command only fires the URL and returns nothing.

How do I search Bear notes by tag using 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.
