# cnotes

> cnotes is the command-line and MCP interface to CreatorNotes, a shared workspace people and AI agents read and write together. cnotes never runs your agent: it is the workbench your agent reads from and writes to, and every write is attributed and reversible. This site documents the CLI (@creator-notes/cnotes, currently 0.59.0). The product, sign-in, billing, the API and the MCP endpoint are on https://creatornotes.app; never point a client at cnotes.dev.

## Start here

- [Install instructions for a coding agent](https://creatornotes.app/install.md): dense, step-by-step markdown; fetch this when a user says "install cnotes" or "connect CreatorNotes"
- [Command reference](https://cnotes.dev/commands.md): the cnotes skill, every command with flags, output contract and exit codes
- [Install page](https://cnotes.dev/install): Two install paths for the cnotes CLI, what the init wizard does, and the prompt to hand a coding agent.
- [MCP setup](https://cnotes.dev/mcp): Connect Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and ChatGPT to CreatorNotes over MCP, locally or through the remote OAuth endpoint.

## Skills

- [cnotes](https://cnotes.dev/skills/cnotes/skill.md): Work with CreatorNotes via the cnotes CLI
- [attention-planner](https://cnotes.dev/skills/attention-planner/skill.md): One open card at a time, loop closed by the agent
- [fat-marker-flows](https://cnotes.dev/skills/fat-marker-flows/skill.md): Generate Shape Up "fat-marker" broad-strokes mockup keyframes of a UI flow with an image model, then lay them on a CreatorNotes canvas as a left-to-right user-journey filmstrip. Use when the user wants to SEE a proposed flow ("mock this up", "show me what it would look like", "fat-marker / broad-strokes sketch", "fat marker mockup", "keyframes", "storyboard the flow", "user journey on the canvas") rather than read about it.
- [howto-filmstrips](https://cnotes.dev/skills/howto-filmstrips/skill.md): Capture a real product UI how-to as a horizontal filmstrip on a CreatorNotes canvas: live CSS highlight on the click target, soft radial spotlight, then screenshot → upload → place. Use when the user wants a screenshot storyboard, click-path how-to, JTBD walkthrough, multi-path UI guide, or "show me how to do X in the app" with accurate click markers (not fat-marker sketches).
- [wayfind](https://cnotes.dev/skills/wayfind/skill.md): Chart and work multi-session decision maps on a canvas
