--private commands for synced tags, rich links, sections, subtasks, images, flagging, list groups, custom smart lists, Groceries lists, and Reminders templates. - Safe Automation Guardrails: Destructive commands require --force, private rich URLs are validated, and every write has a documented JSON verification path. - Use Case: Ask your agent to create a recurring weekly report reminder in your Work list with a 15-minute alarm, then verify it with remctl info <id> --json. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to show today's reminders as JSON using the remctl today command, then create a new reminder with a due date in a chosen list.High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
Use remctl add with a title, list, and due date, for example remctl add "Review PR" -l Work -d "tomorrow 10:00" -p high --json. Date-only inputs create all-day reminders, and explicit times create timed reminders.
Tags, sections, rich links, subtasks, and images require the --private flag because they use unsupported ReminderKit APIs. Use remctl edit <id> --private --set-tags or section-create, then verify with remctl info <id> --json.
Yes, recurrence is a normal EventKit write and does not need --private. Supported forms include daily, weekly mon,wed,fri, monthly 4th-fri, and yearly, with optional intervals like daily x2, verified via the recurrence object in JSON output.
Destructive commands like delete, list-delete, and group-delete require --force in agent or JSON workflows. Without it, RemCTL writes confirmation_required to stderr and performs no write, so always pass --force for automation.
It is a limited read-only fallback for show, search, today, and upcoming when Full Disk Access blocks database reads. It returns eventKitId values instead of numeric IDs and lacks tags, sections, and private metadata, so prefer fixing Full Disk Access.
Use remctl flag <id> --json or unflag, which writes the real flagged state through AppleScript and requires Automation access for Reminders. If that fails, fall back to remctl edit <id> --private --flagged and verify under flagged in info --json.
