Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Use joplin CLI to interact with Joplin notes.
Always use the joplin CLI for editing notes. Do not modify the SQLite database directly unless absolutely necessary. Direct database edits can cause sync conflicts and data loss.
If Joplin is not configured with WebDAV, configure it: joplin config sync.target 6 joplin config sync.6.path "https://your-webdav-server/path" joplin config sync.6.username "your-username" joplin config sync.6.password "your-password" joplin sync
joplin ls # List notebooks joplin ls "Notebook Name" # List notes in a notebook joplin status # Show sync status and note counts joplin ls -l # List with IDs
joplin cat <note-id> # Display note content joplin cat "Note Title" # Also works with title joplin note <note-id> # Open note in editor
joplin mknote "Note Title" # Create note in default notebook joplin mknote "Note Title" --notebook "Notebook Name" joplin mkbook "New Notebook" # Create new notebook Tip: Always ask the user which notebook to use. Use: joplin use โ shows current notebook joplin use "Notebook Name" โ switch to a notebook joplin ls โ see all notebooks
joplin edit --note <note-id> # Edit note in editor joplin set <note-id> title "New title" # Change note title
joplin rmnote <note-id> # Delete note joplin rmbook "Notebook Name" # Delete notebook
joplin mv "Note Title" "Target Notebook"
joplin todos # List all todos joplin todo <note-id> # Toggle todo status joplin done <note-id> # Mark as done joplin undone <note-id> # Mark as not done
joplin sync # Sync with WebDAV server
joplin export <note-id> --format md joplin export <note-id> --format html joplin export <note-id> --format pdf
joplin import /path/to/note.md --notebook "Notebook Name"
Note: joplin search is only available in GUI mode. Use joplin ls and pipe to grep instead.

A note or notebook can be referred to by: Title: "Note Title" ID: fe889 (get from joplin ls -l) Shortcuts: $n โ Currently selected note $b โ Currently selected notebook $c โ Currently selected item
Joplin can run interactively (like a shell). Start with just joplin: joplin # Start interactive mode

Some notebooks use the YesYouKan kanban plugin for visual kanban boards. These notes have a specific format that must be preserved when editing:
# Notebook Name # Backlog ## Task 1 Description here ## Task 2 # In progress ## Another Task Details # Done ## Completed Task Result ```kanban-settings # Do not remove this block ### โ ๏ธ Kanban Formatting Rules 1. **Always include the kanban-settings block** at the end of the note with the exact format: # Do not remove this block 2. **Use `##` for task headings** (not `#`) 3. **Keep column headings** as `# Backlog`, `# In progress`, `# Done` 4. **Preserve blank lines** between tasks โ these are visible in the kanban view 5. **After editing a kanban note, always run `joplin sync`** to upload changes 6. **Verify changes with `joplin cat <note-id>`** to ensure formatting is correct ### Moving Tasks Between Columns When moving a task, simply move the `##` task section from one column to another.
