What this skill does
Apple Notes Deploy Integration Overview Apple Notes automation runs exclusively on macOS — there is no cloud deployment path because Notes.app depends on the local Apple Events subsystem and TCC permissions. Deployment means packaging your JXA/osascript automation as a persistent local service. The three deployment models are: launchd agents for scheduled/recurring tasks, Automator workflows for user-triggered actions, and Apple Shortcuts for cross-app automation. Each has different permission requirements and lifecycle management. Prerequisites An owned interactive macOS user session, an approved launchd label, and explicit TCC consent for the actual client path. Immutable versioned scripts with a tested rollback package; do not deploy from a mutable home-directory glob. A restricted log directory and a non-production account or folder for initial smoke tests. Instructions 1. Install a versioned artifact into a user-owned directory with restrictive permissions and validate the plist with plutil -lint. 2. Bootstrap the agent in the GUI user domain; confirm its label, executable path, and environment exactly match the reviewed release. 3. Run a read-only scoped smoke test before enabling scheduled writes. 4. Roll back by booting out the exact label and restoring the previously approved artifact; never leave two schedules active. …
