What it does

The Notes skill gives sideBar access to your notes library from Chat. You can ask sideBar to create notes, read existing notes, organise them into folders, and manage the Scratchpad. sideBar can also work with your notes as context, drafting new content, summarising, or cross-referencing with other things you have saved.

​
Actions

​
When sideBar uses it

When your request involves creating, finding, or working with notes. Common triggers:
  • Creating a note from something in the conversation (“Save this as a note”)
  • Reading or referencing an existing note (“What did I write about X?”)
  • Organising your notes library (“Move all my project notes into a folder called Work”)
  • Working with the Scratchpad (“Add this to my scratchpad”)

​
Current limitations

Note edits through Chat are block-based and use the latest saved note version. That makes them safer, but it also means sideBar is not doing freeform cursor editing inside the note editor. For broad rewrites, it may still be simpler to draft a new version in Chat and review it before replacing larger sections.

​
Requirements

  • Tier: Standard (included, no installation needed)
  • API key: None required

​
How to enable

The Notes skill is enabled by default. To toggle it, go to Settings → Skills.
