What it does

This skill teaches an AI agent how to operate a command-line tool that connects to the Mubu outlining app on your own computer. Once installed, the agent can list your folders and documents, find your daily note, search outline text, and inspect node structure. It can also change live Mubu content such as adding, editing, or deleting outline nodes, but the tool is designed to preview those changes first and only apply them when explicitly told to.

Great for

  • Mubu users who want an AI assistant to browse or search their notes
  • Developers automating outline edits in Mubu with careful dry-run checks
  • People maintaining a daily-note workflow who want quick access to today's document

Skip it if

  • Anyone who does not have the Mubu desktop app running locally, since the tool depends on local profile data and an active session
  • Users who want unattended bulk edits to important notes, because delete-node removes whole subtrees and edits are written to live documents
  • Teams needing a supported, official Mubu integration, since this is a community-built bridge reading local data rather than a documented public API

Try asking

  • “Find my daily note for today and list the tasks under the Projects heading”
  • “Search my Mubu documents for every node mentioning the quarterly budget”
  • “Show me the outline tree of my Meeting Notes document”
  • “Preview (dry-run) changing the text of node abc123 before applying it”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Always ask the agent to show the dry-run payload and review it before allowing --execute on any edit or delete
  • Use node ids rather than text matching when targeting nodes, to avoid editing the wrong node
  • Keep a backup or version history check in mind, since even same-text updates can create new versions
