SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? It captures quick thoughts, reminders, and observations during a work session without leaving the terminal, storing them in a structured, append-only TOML file that stays readable and easy to parse later. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Timestamped Entries: Each note is saved under a YYYY-MM-DD - HH:MM:SS TOML table key for chronological ordering. - Append-Only Safety: Existing notes are never modified or deleted, and duplicate timestamps get a suffix to keep keys unique. - Use Case: While reviewing code, ask the agent to log findings like "retry logic needed for tool call failures" — each note lands in notes.toml with an exact timestamp for later reference. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to take a note saying "remember to update the deployment checklist before Friday" and it will append it to notes.toml with the current timestamp.

Frequently Asked Questions about note-taking

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I save a timestamped note to a TOML file?▼

Ask the agent to take a note with your text. It creates notes.toml in the current working directory if missing, then appends your note under a YYYY-MM-DD - HH:MM:SS table key with the content as a triple-quoted string.

What format are notes stored in with this skill?▼

Notes are stored in TOML format inside notes.toml. Each entry uses the timestamp as a quoted table key and the note text as a triple-quoted content value, with a blank line separating entries.

Can I edit or delete existing notes in notes.toml?▼

No. The skill is strictly append-only and never modifies or deletes existing entries. To change past notes, edit the notes.toml file manually outside of this skill.

What happens if two notes are written in the same second?▼

The skill appends a suffix such as -2 to the duplicate timestamp (for example 14:32:07-2) so every TOML table key remains unique and no entry is overwritten.

Where is the notes.toml file created?▼

The file is created in the current working directory, determined via pwd at the time the note is written. It is saved as UTF-8 without BOM.
