What This Skill Does

The UpNote skill for OpenClaw provides a powerful bridge between your AI agent and the UpNote desktop application. By leveraging UpNote's robust x-callback-url automation capabilities, this skill allows users to programmatically create, organize, and retrieve notes and notebooks. It wraps complex URL schemes into a simple, intuitive bash interface, enabling the AI to act as a personal knowledge management assistant. Whether you are capturing quick thoughts, organizing project workflows into specific notebooks, or filtering through your extensive tag library, this skill ensures that your data stays synchronized and accessible without manual app switching.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/wemcdonald/upnote

Ensure that you have the UpNote desktop application installed and that your system environment is configured to execute shell scripts within the OpenClaw directory structure.

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for users who manage high volumes of information and want to streamline their capture process. Key use cases include:

• Automated Capture: Converting AI-generated research summaries directly into dedicated project notebooks.
• Quick Access: Instantly opening specific reference notes or notebook views via voice or text prompts.
• Knowledge Management: Maintaining a clean taxonomy by creating new notebooks or tagging notes during a session.
• Search & Retrieval: Querying existing content archives to retrieve information related to current projects.

Example Prompts

1. "Create a new note in my 'Work' notebook titled 'Project Alpha' with the content: 'Meeting scheduled for Tuesday at 10 AM to discuss API integration.'"
2. "Open my 'Quick Access' notes view so I can see what I need to prioritize today."
3. "Create a new notebook named 'Travel Plans 2024' and then add a note titled 'Packing List' inside it."

Tips & Limitations

• IDs are Essential: For advanced operations like opening a specific note, you must use the note's ID. You can obtain this by right-clicking a note in the UpNote application and selecting 'Copy Link'.
• Markdown Support: Utilize the --markdown flag when creating notes to ensure your formatting is preserved, which is excellent for drafting documentation or technical notes.
• Formatting: Use \n for line breaks within the text parameter to ensure your notes have proper structure. Large blocks of text can also be piped into the script to avoid shell escaping issues.
