notes_export_pdf — export a Notes note to PDF at a path
Notes' File menu has direct "Export as PDF..." which opens an NSSavePanel. The agent's typical failure mode is to open the File menu + click Export as PDF, then get lost in the Save sheet — filename field, location field (which is hidden behind a Cmd+Shift+G shortcut), and the actual Save button. This skill drives all of that deterministically.
Examples
notes_export_pdf note="KinBench Print 168" out_path="/Users/me/Desktop/kinbench/168-note.pdf"
→ ok: saved /Users/me/Desktop/kinbench/168-note.pdf (47823 bytes)
notes_export_pdf note="KinBench Export 182" out_path="/Users/me/Desktop/kinbench/182-note.pdf"
→ ok: saved /Users/me/Desktop/kinbench/182-note.pdf (45612 bytes)Why not Print → Save as PDF
The Print → Save as PDF route requires (1) Cmd+P, (2) click PDF dropdown bottom-left, (3) click "Save as PDF…", (4) navigate Save sheet. Notes' direct File → Export as PDF... is one click + Save sheet — half the friction. This skill uses the direct path.
