SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Managing Apple Reminders normally requires opening the Reminders app on macOS, which breaks terminal-based workflows. This Skill lets you create, list, complete, and delete reminders directly from the command line, with tasks syncing across all Apple devices via iCloud. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Create and manage reminders: Add reminders with titles, due dates, and list assignments using remindctl commands. - View and filter tasks: Show today's, tomorrow's, overdue, or date-specific reminders, with JSON, TSV, or count-only output formats. - List management: Create, view, and delete Reminders lists to organize personal and work tasks. - Use Case: You tell your agent "remind me to call mom tomorrow" and it runs remindctl add --title "Call mom" --due tomorrow, so the task appears on your iPhone via iCloud sync. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to add a reminder with a due date, for example: create an Apple Reminder to buy milk tomorrow in my Personal list.
