name: hylo-notes

description: "Guide for working with Hylo, an AI-native personal note-taking system. Use this skill whenever the user wants to search, find, read, write, save, create, modify, delete, or capture notes — including journal entries, research notes, quick thoughts, knowledge retrieval, or any note-taking task. Trigger when the user says things like 'save this as a note', 'find my notes about X', 'create a note', 'look up my notes on X', 'read my note about Y', 'delete a note', 'quick note', 'short note', 'what do I know about X', or any variation of managing notes in Hylo."

# Hylo Notes — Router

- ## Environment check

- If Hylo MCP tools are in your tool list, skip this check. Otherwise:

- ```bash

- hylo --help

- ```

+ ## Tools

- If neither MCP tools nor `hylo` are available, inform the user and stop.

+ The tools named here are Hylo's MCP tools (server `hylo`); your client may show them prefixed, e.g. `mcp__hylo__read`. If they are not in your tool list, search your deferred tools for "hylo". If they are still missing, tell the user Hylo's tools are unavailable and stop.

## Identify intent → load sub-skill

| Scenario | Trigger signals | Sub-skill |

| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | --------------- |

| **Regular notes** | create / read / modify / delete / list / search notes; journal entries; research notes; markdown files | @notes-crud.md |

| **Short notes** | quick capture, fleeting thought, short note, daily log, "jot down" | @short-notes.md |

| **Knowledge** | "what do I know about", knowledge base, compiled knowledge, index notes | @knowledge.md |

Load the matching sub-skill. If the request spans multiple scenarios, handle them sequentially.

If the user wants the writing to happen live in Hylo's open editor ("write it in the editor", "rewrite what I selected"), use the `hylo-editor` skill instead.
