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
```

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