What's inside

The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.

SKILL.md64 linessingle file

apple-tools (iMCP)

Access Apple personal-information-management data on macOS through iMCP, a menu-bar app that brokers the OS permission grants, reached over MCP by pi's built-in MCP (pi ≥ 1.0.0).

Reachable services (seven)

Calendar · Contacts · Location · Maps · Messages · Reminders · Weather

Messages here means iMessage / SMS — it is NOT email.
There is no Mail service. iMCP exposes no Apple Mail access.

Mail is out of scope — redirect

If the user asks to read, search, or summarize Apple Mail / email:

iMCP exposes no Mail service; do not attempt an iMCP/adapter tool call for Mail.
Use the apple-mail-fast-export skill instead — it exports .eml files directly from the on-disk Apple Mail store.

"Messages" satisfying an email request is a category error: Messages is iMessage/SMS only.

Access pattern — search then invoke via built-in MCP

The agent reaches iMCP tools through pi's built-in MCP, not by spawning the server. Do not run imcp-server directly. Tools appear as mcp__iMCP__* (through codemode, or tool_search when the entry's exposure is deferred). Search the available tools, then invoke.

Provisioning check (run at load)

This skill runs the installer's --check traversal on load (one sw_vers plus a few stat calls; short-circuits instantly on non-macOS). If iMCP is not provisioned it reports the gap and names the fix:

pi-apple-tools-install
