NoteStore Lab

Copy first. Prove the case path. Then let AI and local MCP review the same case root.

Operator-first proof path: notes-recovery demo -> notes-recovery ai-review --demo -> notes-recovery ask-case --demo --question "What should I inspect first?" -> notes-recovery doctor

Public-safe proof block: one copied-evidence workflow, one timestamped case root, and reviewable outputs for backup, recovery, verification, and reports.

Start Here

Treat this repository like a lab bench, not a rescue button. Start by proving the workflow shape on synthetic artifacts first:

notes-recovery demo
notes-recovery ai-review --demo
notes-recovery ask-case --demo --question "What should I inspect first?"
notes-recovery doctor

What this path proves in under five minutes:

• one timestamped case root instead of ad hoc loose files
• reviewable outputs for backup, recovery, verification, and reports
• a zero-risk first look that does not touch private evidence or a live Notes store
• a synthetic AI triage path that stays on review artifacts instead of raw copied evidence
• an evidence-backed case question flow that cites what it used

If you are here for Codex / Claude Code integration, run the operator path once, then jump to the Builder Guide. The builder lane is real, but it is not the first thing a new operator should read.

Current lane order

• Primary: the local copy-first recovery lab on one explicit case root
• Primary extension: notes-recovery-mcp as the repo's pure_mcp review surface
• Secondary: public-skills/notestorelab-case-review/ as the standalone pure_skills packet for host-native reviewers
• Later / companion: plugin bundles, PyPI or registry proof, Docker/GHCR, and Glama metadata after the local case path already makes sense
• Current non-claims: no hosted Notes recovery service, no multi-tenant review portal, and no live ClawHub/OpenHands/extensions/Glama/Docker catalog listing language in Wave 1

What It Is

NoteStore Lab is a local Apple Notes recovery toolkit for macOS. It is built around one rule: work on copied evidence, not the live Notes store.

The CLI-first chain stays intentionally simple:

notes-recovery CLI -> parser/handlers -> services -> core pipeline -> timestamped case outputs

The builder-facing chain is just as important:

case root + manifests + review artifacts + notes-recovery-mcp

That is the current external substrate for local agents and builder tooling. It is real today. A hosted API or generated SDK is not.
