What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Leave a cross-device reminder note that surfaces on your OTHER machines the next time they run a sync-down. Use when the user types /sync-add-note or says they want to remember a follow-up task on another device / leave themselves a note for their next session elsewhere (e.g. "remind me to do X when I'm on the Surface"). The note does not surface on the machine that created it.

sync-add-note — leave a cross-device reminder

Records a note in the shared sync folder. It surfaces on the user's other machines the next time they run /sync-env-down, never on the machine that made it. The engine (sync_engine.py) lives in the sibling sync-envs skill folder.

How to run the engine

Windows: py -3 "<claudeSkillsDir>\sync-envs\sync_engine.py" --add-note "TEXT"
macOS/Linux: python3 "<claudeSkillsDir>/sync-envs/sync_engine.py" --add-note "TEXT"

Run it in the background (the Bash tool's run_in_background: true) — it writes to the sync folder, which is usually a cloud drive; see the timing note in /sync-env-down if it stalls.

Procedure

Get the note text. Use what the user gave after /sync-add-note. If they just invoked the skill with no text, ask what they want to remember. Keep it a single, self-contained reminder — enough to act on from another machine with no memory of this conversation. Split multiple unrelated reminders into separate --add-note calls.
Heads-up on content. Notes are stored as plaintext in the sync folder. Don't put secrets (tokens, passwords) in a note; if the user's text contains one, flag it and suggest leaving the secret out.
Add it. Run the engine with --add-note "TEXT". Quote the text; it may contain spaces.
Confirm. Relay the engine's confirmation, including the note id, and remind the user it will show up on their other machines on the next /sync-env-down — not on this one.

Notes

One reminder per note. For several follow-ups, call --add-note once each.
/sync-notes lists everything currently active across all machines.
