https://innernet.live/skills/more-io-apple-bridgesUse this skill whenever the user asks about Apple apps — Reminders, Calendar, Contacts, Notes, Mail, Messages (iMessage/SMS), or tmux sessions. This includes creating/completing reminders, checking/adding calendar events, looking up contacts, reading/writing notes, sending/reading email, reading/sending iMessages and texts, and capturing tmux session content. Also use this skill when the user mentions tasks, todos, scheduling, birthdays, free time slots, or end-of-day summaries. The bridges are CLI tools installed at ~/.claude/ that give Claude Code native access to these Apple apps on macOS.

General Patterns
CLI Syntax
All bridges follow the same pattern:
~/.claude/<bridge-name> <command> [arguments...]Quoting
Arguments with spaces must be quoted:
~/.claude/reminders-bridge add "Shopping List" "Buy milk" "From the organic store"
~/.claude/calendar-bridge add "Work" "Team Meeting" "2026-03-01 10:00" "2026-03-01 11:00"Destructive Operations
Delete commands use a dry-run by default pattern — they show what would be deleted without the --force flag:
# Dry run (safe preview)
~/.claude/reminders-bridge delete "Work" "Old task"
# Actually delete
~/.claude/reminders-bridge delete "Work" "Old task" --forceThis applies to: reminders-bridge delete, calendar-bridge delete, contacts-bridge delete, notes-bridge delete, mail-bridge delete.

Each bridge requires macOS permission on first use:
