sticky

A small Claude Code skill. Ask Claude in plain language — "drop a green sticky with my deploy steps" — and it puts a nicely formatted, colored note on your macOS screen. Headings, bold, color-coded warnings, real spacing. You never have to remember a command; Claude knows the skill is there and uses it.

What it is

A Claude Code skill — a small folder Claude reads automatically. Once it's in your skills folder, Claude can create formatted sticky notes whenever you ask, in whatever language you ask. It's the difference between a loose script you have to remember and a capability Claude just has.

Formatting

Headings, bold lines, red highlights for warnings, bolded /commands, and real blank-line spacing — rendered as rich text in the note.

Colors

Yellow, blue, green, pink, purple, grey. Just say the color you want; Claude passes it through.

Install

Download the zip above and unzip it — you get a sticky/ folder.
Move it into your Claude skills folder:
```
mv ~/Downloads/sticky ~/.claude/skills/
```
Start a fresh Claude Code session (or run /clear) so it picks up the new skill.
Grant Accessibility permission (important). The skill builds the formatted note, places it on the clipboard as rich text, and pastes it into a new Stickies note with a single paste keystroke. macOS gates that paste-into-another-app action until you allow it, so the first time you ask for a note macOS pops a dialog — click through to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility and turn on the toggle for whatever runs your Claude Code (Terminal, iTerm, or the Claude app). If nothing appears on screen, this is almost always why. One-time setup.
Ask for a note — e.g. "make a pink sticky with my morning checklist."

Using it

You don't type commands. You just ask Claude. Examples:

"Drop a green sticky with the three commands I keep forgetting."
"Put my SSH aliases on a sticky."
"Make a yellow note: call the plumber, renew domain, pay invoice."

Under the hood it's a tiny shell script that builds rich text, puts it on the clipboard, and pastes it into a new Stickies note — then sets the color. macOS only.
