  Insert a table into a Notes note. Notes' table feature is
  triggered by Cmd+Opt+T while the body has focus; this skill
  selects the note, focuses the body, and fires the keystroke.

  Default: a 2x2 table (Notes' default). To get larger, use the
  `rows` and `cols` args — the skill will Tab + Return as needed
  after insertion to grow the table to the requested dimensions.
command:
  - sh
  - -c

    NOTE="$1"; ROWS="${2:-2}"; COLS="${3:-2}"
    [ -z "$NOTE" ] && { echo "note title required" >&2; exit 1; }

# notes_table — insert a table into a Notes note

Notes' Cmd+Opt+T inserts a 2x2 table at the cursor. This skill
focuses the body, fires the shortcut, then optionally grows via
Format menu ("Add Row Below", "Add Column After").

## Examples

```
notes_table note="KinBench Table 172"
  → ok: inserted 2 x 2 table

notes_table note="KinBench Table 172" rows=3 cols=3
  → ok: inserted 3 x 3 table
```
