About

This skill manages Apple Reminders from the terminal using the remindctl CLI on macOS. It can view reminders by date or list, create reminders with due dates, and complete or delete them, with JSON or plain output. A developer uses it for personal to-dos that sync to iOS, but the skill advises clarifying intent when a user says remind me to avoid confusing it with a timed alert.
