Here's a summary:

This PR expands the Apple Notes AI capabilities in the Raycast extension.

What’s included

• Added a broader set of AI tools for managing notes:
  • append-to-note
  • delete-note
  • restore-note
  • move-note
  • list-folders
• Added tag filtering support to search-notes
• Updated the AI Note command so it can optionally target an existing note and append generated content instead of always creating a new note
• Improved note operations to validate IDs before AppleScript execution, avoiding crashes when a missing noteId is passed
• Added manifest metadata, AI instructions, and eval coverage for the new capabilities

Why

This makes the AI extension more useful for real Apple Notes workflows, such as:

• appending content to an existing note without overwriting it
• deleting or restoring notes safely
• searching by tags
• moving notes between folders
• allowing the AI to discover valid note folders before acting

Verification

• npm run build ✅
• npm run lint ✅

Copy/paste version:

This PR expands the Apple Notes AI capabilities for the Raycast extension.

It adds support for:

• appending content to an existing note without overwriting it
• deleting and restoring notes
• moving notes between folders
• listing available folders so the AI can act with valid destinations
• filtering note searches by tags

It also updates the AI Note command to optionally target an existing note instead of always creating a new one, and adds guard logic to avoid crashes when a missing note ID is passed to AppleScript-backed note actions.

Greptile Summary

The PR expands Apple Notes’ AI surface with append, move, delete, restore, folder-listing, tag-filtering, and existing-note append capabilities.

• Adds five Apple Notes AI tools and their manifest guidance and evaluations.
• Adds account-aware folder moves and destructive-action confirmation.
• Extends note search with tag filtering and normalized exact-title lookup.

Confidence Score: 4/5

The PR is not yet safe to merge because non-ASCII exact-title lookup can still report an existing note as missing.

For non-ASCII exact-title requests, the SQL query has no title predicate and returns only the ten most recently modified notes, so an older matching note never reaches the JavaScript comparison and AI Note aborts instead of appending.

Files Needing Attention: extensions/apple-notes/src/api/getNotes.ts, extensions/apple-notes/src/ai.ts

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
extensions/apple-notes/src/api/getNotes.ts	Adds normalized exact-title and accent-insensitive filtering, but the current non-ASCII exact lookup still excludes older matching notes before JavaScript comparison.
extensions/apple-notes/src/ai.ts	Adds exact-title selection and append-to-existing-note behavior; its ten-result lookup exposes the outstanding non-ASCII false-negative path.
extensions/apple-notes/src/api/applescript.ts	Adds escaped append, account-aware move, and folder-listing AppleScript operations.
extensions/apple-notes/src/tools/delete-note.ts	Adds resolved-title destructive confirmation and note deletion.
extensions/apple-notes/src/tools/move-note.ts	Preserves optional destination account identity through execution and confirmation.
extensions/apple-notes/package.json	Registers the new AI tools and documents the account-aware move workflow.

Hi @0xdhrv,

I've been going back and forth with Greptile and I don't think the last two comments are necessarily an issue. The first one, is complaining about a scenario that wouldn't reasonably be met outside of an automated stress test.
The second one it even flags as not likely an actual problem.

Could you (, or an engineer you assign) please review the suggestions from Greptile and let me know how best to proceed?

Thanks
