Create, search, and manage Bear notes via grizzly CLI.

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

3 rules. 1 is common, 0 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

  • 1

    Common

    Most of the 20 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 0

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 2

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Use grizzly to create, read, and manage notes in Bear on macOS.

    line 28
  2. Common:

    Search notes (via open-tag)

    line 69
  3. Very specific:

    Use --enable-callback when you need to read data back from Bear

    line 106

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 20 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Bear Notes

Use grizzly to create, read, and manage notes in Bear on macOS.

Requirements

  • Bear app installed and running
  • For some operations (add-text, tags, open-note --selected), a Bear app token (stored in ~/.config/grizzly/token)

Getting a Bear Token

For operations that require a token (add-text, tags, open-note --selected), you need an authentication token:

  1. Open Bear → Help → API Token → Copy Token
  2. Save it: echo "YOUR_TOKEN" > ~/.config/grizzly/token

Common Commands

Create a note

echo "Note content here" | grizzly create --title "My Note" --tag work
grizzly create --title "Quick Note" --tag inbox < /dev/null

Open/read a note by ID

grizzly open-note --id "NOTE_ID" --enable-callback --json

Append text to a note

echo "Additional content" | grizzly add-text --id "NOTE_ID" --mode append --token-file ~/.config/grizzly/token

List all tags

grizzly tags --enable-callback --json --token-file ~/.config/grizzly/token

Search notes (via open-tag)

grizzly open-tag --name "work" --enable-callback --json

Options

Common flags:

  • --dry-run — Preview the URL without executing
  • --print-url — Show the x-callback-url
  • --enable-callback — Wait for Bear's response (needed for reading data)
  • --json — Output as JSON (when using callbacks)
  • --token-file PATH — Path to Bear API token file

Configuration

Grizzly reads config from (in priority order):

  1. CLI flags
  2. Environment variables (GRIZZLY_TOKEN_FILE, GRIZZLY_CALLBACK_URL, GRIZZLY_TIMEOUT)
  3. .grizzly.toml in current directory
  4. ~/.config/grizzly/config.toml

Example ~/.config/grizzly/config.toml:

token_file = "~/.config/grizzly/token"
callback_url = "http://127.0.0.1:42123/success"
timeout = "5s"

Notes

  • Bear must be running for commands to work
  • Note IDs are Bear's internal identifiers (visible in note info or via callbacks)
  • Use --enable-callback when you need to read data back from Bear
  • Some operations require a valid token (add-text, tags, open-note --selected)

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
