how it works

AppleScript against Reminders.app with a routing table (Reminders vs Mission Control vs GitHub issue); documents the TCC -1743 stale-denial gotcha in tmux.

AI skill: Instructions an AI agent loads when a task calls for them, like a recipe card.

The code for this one lives in a private repo. This page explains the idea so you can build your own.
