Supports multiple languages (en, ko, ja, zh) for trigger detection and response formatting. When users request recurring reminders, MUST use --repeat option (daily|weekly|monthly|yearly). requirements: runtime: - node >= 18.0.0 - npm - macOS with Xcode Command Line Tools (includes Swift compiler) permissions: - macOS Reminders access (system prompt on first use) install: | cd $SKILL_DIR && npm install

Mac Reminders Agent

Overview

This skill integrates with the local macOS Reminders app to:

• View and organize today's/this week's reminders (with unique IDs)
• Add new reminders based on natural language requests
• Edit reminders: Modify title, due date, notes by ID
• Delete reminders: Remove reminders by ID
• Complete reminders: Mark reminders as done by ID
• Native recurrence: Weekly, daily, monthly, yearly repeating reminders
• Multi-language support: English, Korean, Japanese, Chinese

The skill uses the following files relative to its directory:

• cli.js (unified entry point)
• reminders/apple-bridge.js (backend: AppleScript + applescript npm module)
• reminders/eventkit-bridge.swift (native recurrence via Swift EventKit)
• locales.json (language-specific triggers and responses)

Language Support

The skill automatically detects user language or can be explicitly set via --locale parameter.

Supported Languages

| Code | Language | Example Trigger | |------|----------|-----------------| | en | English | "What do I have to do today?" | | ko | 한국어 | "오늘 할 일 뭐 있어?" | | ja | 日本語 | "今日のタスクは？" | | zh | 中文 | "今天有什么任务？" |

Language Detection

1. Explicit: Use --locale parameter
2. Automatic: Detect from user's message language
3. Default: Falls back to en (English)

---

How It Works

User natural language requests are handled in two cases:

1. List reminders (list)
2. Add reminder (add)

For each case, call the Node.js CLI, receive JSON results, and format them using locale-specific templates.

---

1) List Reminders

Trigger Examples (by language)

English:

• "What do I have to do today?"
• "Show me today's reminders"
• "What's on my schedule this week?"

Korean (한국어):

• "오늘 할 일 뭐 있어?"
• "오늘 미리알림 정리해줘"
• "이번 주 일정 뭐 있어?"

Japanese (日本語):

• "今日のタスクは？"
• "今日のリマインダーを見せて"

Chinese (中文):

• "今天有什么任务？"
• "显示今天的提醒"

Command Invocation

# List with default locale (en)
node skills/mac-reminders-agent/cli.js list --scope today

# List with specific locale
node skills/mac-reminders-agent/cli.js list --scope week --locale ko

Scope Options

• today - Today only
• week - This week (today ~ +7 days)
• all - All reminders

Output Format

Returns JSON array:

[
  {
    "title": "Task title",
    "due": "2026-02-05T16:30:00" | null
  }
]

Response Formatting

Use locales.json templates to format responses in user's language:

English:

[Incomplete Reminders]
- 2/2 (Mon) 09:00 [Work] Meeting
- 2/3 (Tue) 14:00 [Personal] Visit bank

[Completed]
- 2/1 (Sun) [Work] Submit report ✅

Korean:

[미완료 미리알림]
- 2/2 (월) 09:00 [업무] 회의
- 2/3 (화) 14:00 [개인] 은행 방문

[완료됨]
- 2/1 (일) [업무] 보고서 제출 ✅

2) Add Reminder

Trigger Examples (by language)

• "Set a reminder to submit report by Friday"

Korean (한국어):

• "내일 아침 9시에 회의 미리알림 추가해줘"
• "이번 주 금요일까지 보고서 제출 미리알림 넣어줘"

Japanese (日本語):

• "明日の朝9時に会議のリマインダーを追加して"

Chinese (中文):

• "添加明天早上9点的会议提醒"

Command Invocation

# Add with locale
node skills/mac-reminders-agent/cli.js add --title "Meeting" --due "2026-02-05T09:00:00+09:00" --locale ko

• "Added 'Meeting' reminder for 9am tomorrow."
• "Added 'Submit report' reminder without a due date."

Korean:

• "'회의' 미리알림을 추가했어요 (내일 오전 9시)."
• "'보고서 제출' 미리알림을 추가했어요 (마감일 없음)."

---

3) Edit Reminder

Trigger Examples (by language)

• "Update the report deadline to next Monday"

Korean (한국어):

• "회의 미리알림 10시로 바꿔줘"
• "보고서 마감일 다음 주 월요일로 수정해줘"

Command Invocation

# Edit title
node skills/mac-reminders-agent/cli.js edit --id "ABC123" --title "New Meeting Title" --locale ko

# Edit due date
node skills/mac-reminders-agent/cli.js edit --id "ABC123" --due "2026-03-01T10:00:00+09:00"

• --due (optional): New due date in ISO 8601 format
• --note (optional): New note text

Before editing, always run list to get the reminder's id field. The id is an EventKit calendarItemIdentifier (UUID-like string).

---

4) Delete Reminder

Trigger Examples (by language)

English:

• "Delete the meeting reminder"

Korean (한국어):

• "회의 미리알림 삭제해줘"

• --locale (optional): Response language

---

6) Recurring Reminders (Native Recurrence)

Use --repeat to create reminders with native recurrence (single reminder with repeat rule, not multiple copies).

Command Invocation

# Weekly recurring reminder
node skills/mac-reminders-agent/cli.js add --title "Weekly standup" --due "2026-02-10T09:00:00+09:00" --repeat weekly

# Bi-weekly reminder
node skills/mac-reminders-agent/cli.js add --title "Sprint review" --due "2026-02-10T14:00:00+09:00" --repeat weekly --interval 2

# Monthly reminder until end of year
node skills/mac-reminders-agent/cli.js add --title "Monthly report" --due "2026-02-28T17:00:00+09:00" --repeat monthly --repeat-end 2026-12-31

Parameters

• --repeat (optional): daily, weekly, monthly, yearly
• --interval (optional): Repeat interval (default: 1). Example: --interval 2 = every 2 weeks
• --repeat-end (optional): End date in YYYY-MM-DD format

IMPORTANT: Always use --repeat for recurring schedules

When user requests recurring reminders (매주, 격주, 매월, etc.), MUST use --repeat option. Do NOT create multiple individual reminders manually.

Correct:

node cli.js add --title "주간 회의" --due "2026-02-10T09:00:00+09:00" --repeat weekly

Wrong (DO NOT DO THIS):

# Creating 12 separate reminders is WRONG
node cli.js add --title "주간 회의 - 2/10" --due "2026-02-10T09:00:00+09:00"
node cli.js add --title "주간 회의 - 2/17" --due "2026-02-17T09:00:00+09:00"
...
