TriliumNext Notes

TriliumNext Notes (triliumnotes.org). Use this skill for ANY TriliumNext Notes request — reading, creating, updating, and deleting data. Whenever a task involves TriliumNext Notes, use this skill instead of calling the API directly.

Operate TriliumNext Notes through your OOMOL-connected account. This skill calls the trilium connector with the oo CLI; OOMOL injects credentials server-side, so you never handle raw tokens.

Running an action

Assume the user has already installed the oo CLI, signed in, and connected TriliumNext Notes. Do not run oo auth login or open the connection URL proactively — just run the action. Fall back to First-time setup only when a command actually fails with an auth or connection error.

1. Inspect the contract to get the authoritative input/output schema before building a payload:

bash

oo connector schema "trilium" --action "<action_name>"

2. Run the action with a JSON payload that matches the input schema:

bash

oo connector run "trilium" --action "<action_name>" --data '<json>' --json

• --data takes a JSON object string or @path/to/file.json; omit it to send {}.
• The response is { "data": ..., "meta": { "executionId": "..." } }; the execution id lives under meta.executionId.

Each action is listed below with a one-line description; actions that change state carry a [write] or [destructive] tag. Before constructing --data, fetch the action's live schema with oo connector schema to get its authoritative input fields.

Available actions

• create_attribute — Create a label or relation attribute on a Trilium note. [write]
• create_branch — Place an existing Trilium note under another parent, or update that placement if it exists. [write]
• create_note — Create a note and place it under a parent in the Trilium note tree. [write]
• delete_attachment — Delete a Trilium attachment. [destructive]
• delete_attribute — Delete a Trilium label or relation attribute. [destructive]
• delete_branch — Delete a Trilium branch; deleting a note's final branch also deletes the note. [destructive]
• delete_note — Delete a Trilium note and all of its placements from the note tree. [destructive]
• get_attachment — Get Trilium attachment metadata by attachment id.
• get_attribute — Get a Trilium label or relation attribute by attribute id.
• get_branch — Get a Trilium note-tree branch by branch id.
• get_note — Get Trilium note metadata by note id.
• get_note_content — Read the text content of a text-based Trilium note.
• list_note_attachments — List attachment metadata owned by a Trilium note.
• search_notes — Search Trilium notes using full text, labels, subtree constraints, and ordering options.
• update_attachment — Update mutable metadata on a Trilium attachment. [write]
• update_attribute — Update the value or position of a Trilium label, or the position of a relation. [write]
• update_branch — Update the position, prefix, or expanded state of a Trilium branch. [write]
• update_note — Update mutable metadata on a Trilium note. [write]
• update_note_content — Replace the text content of a text-based Trilium note. [write]
• upload_attachment — Download a public file URL and upload it as a Trilium note attachment. [write]

Safety

• Untagged actions are reads (get / list / search) — safe to run directly.
• Actions tagged [write] change TriliumNext Notes state — confirm the exact payload and effect with the user before running.
• Actions tagged [destructive] remove or overwrite data — always confirm the target and get explicit approval first.

First-time setup

These are one-time steps — do not repeat them on every call. Run a step only when a command fails for the matching reason.

• oo: command not found — install the oo CLI (other platforms: https://cli.oomol.com/install-guide.md):

  bash

  curl -fsSL https://cli.oomol.com/install.sh | bash    # macOS / Linux
  

  powershell

  irm https://cli.oomol.com/install.ps1 | iex           # Windows PowerShell
  

• Not signed in / authentication error — sign in to your OOMOL account once:

  bash

  oo auth login
  

• scope_missing / credential_expired / app_not_ready / app_not_found — TriliumNext Notes is not connected, or the connection expired or lacks a scope. Connect once (auth type: API key) at:

  text

  https://console.oomol.com/app-connections?provider=trilium
  

• HTTP 402 / OOMOL_INSUFFICIENT_CREDIT — billing stop. Recharge at https://console.oomol.com/billing/token-recharge before retrying.
