Create, read, and manage Bear notes on macOS using grizzly, a command-line tool. Append text to existing notes, find notes by tag, and retrieve note content or tag lists in JSON format.
Create, search, and manage Bear notes via grizzly CLI.
bear-notes creates, reads, and appends to notes in Bear on macOS, and finds notes by tag. It uses the grizzly command-line tool to save notes with a specified title and tags. Existing notes can be addressed by ID. With responses from Bear enabled, it can retrieve note content and tag lists in JSON format. It also provides a way to preview the operation URL before execution.
Use it to save work notes with tags, add information to existing notes, or find notes carrying a particular tag. It also lets an agent read content already stored in Bear.
work tag.”work.”Bear must be installed and running on macOS, and grizzly is also required. Appending text, retrieving the tag list, and opening the selected note require a Bear API token. When reading data, specify --enable-callback to wait for Bear’s response.

Requirements
~/.config/grizzly/token)For operations that require a token (add-text, tags, open-note --selected), you need an authentication token:
echo "YOUR_TOKEN" > ~/.config/grizzly/tokenCreate a note
echo "Note content here" | grizzly create --title "My Note" --tag work
grizzly create --title "Quick Note" --tag inbox < /dev/null
Open/read a note by ID
grizzly open-note --id "NOTE_ID" --enable-callback --json
Append text to a note
echo "Additional content" | grizzly add-text --id "NOTE_ID" --mode append --token-file ~/.config/grizzly/token
List all tags
grizzly tags --enable-callback --json --token-file ~/.config/grizzly/token
Search notes (via open-tag)
grizzly open-tag --name "work" --enable-callback --json
Common flags:
--dry-run - Preview the URL without executing--print-url - Show the x-callback-url--enable-callback - Wait for Bear's response (needed for reading data)--json - Output as JSON (when using callbacks)--token-file PATH - Path to Bear API token fileGrizzly reads config from (in priority order):

Set up and authenticate the 1Password CLI, then supply stored passwords and API keys to commands or configuration. The skill covers desktop integration, service accounts, and interactive sign-in while keeping secrets out of chat and logs.
Route requests from OpenClaw to external coding agents such as Claude Code or Cursor. Start or continue sessions using ACP, a protocol for connecting agents, or relay prompts directly through acpx while preserving conversation context.
Add a model provider to OpenClaw and verify it with a real response. The skill validates configuration, keeps credentials in environment or file references, and reports test results and any default model changes.
Prepare an agent activity transcript for a GitHub pull request or issue. Extract relevant prompts, decisions, and results from local logs, remove sensitive material, and preview the edited record before separately authorized publication.
