What this skill does
Evernote SDK Patterns Overview Production-ready patterns for working with the Evernote SDK, including search with NoteFilter, pagination, attachments, tags, error handling wrappers, and batch operations with rate limit handling. Prerequisites Completed evernote-install-auth and evernote-hello-world Understanding of Evernote data model (Notes, Notebooks, Tags, Resources) Familiarity with async/await and Promises Instructions Pattern 1: Search with NoteFilter Use NoteFilter for query terms and sort order, paired with NotesMetadataResultSpec to select returned fields. This avoids fetching full note content when only metadata is needed. Pattern 2: Creating Notes with Attachments Compute the MD5 hash of the file buffer, create a Resource with the binary data and MIME type, embed it in ENML with <en-media type="..." hash="..."/>, and attach it to the note. Pattern 3: Error Handling Wrapper Wrap API calls to distinguish EDAMUserException (client errors), EDAMSystemException (rate limits, maintenance), and EDAMNotFoundException (invalid GUIDs). Use error.rateLimitDuration for automatic retry delays. Pattern 4: Batch Operations Process items sequentially with configurable delay between operations. On rate limit errors, wait for rateLimitDuration seconds then retry. Track progress with callbacks. Pattern 5: Tag and Notebook Management Implement getOrCreateTag() and getOrCreateNotebook() for idempotent operations. Use listTags() / listNotebooks() to check existence before creating. For all nine patterns with complete implementations, see Implementation Guide. …
