Full Contact Info

⚠️ Don't use

first person whose

— buggy. Use this pattern:

bash

# By phone
osascript -e 'tell application "Contacts"
  set matches to every person whose value of phones contains "+1XXXXXXXXXX"
  if length of matches > 0 then
    set p to item 1 of matches
    return {name of p, value of phones of p, value of emails of p}
  end if
end tell'

# By name
osascript -e 'tell application "Contacts"
  set matches to every person whose name contains "John"
  if length of matches > 0 then
    set p to item 1 of matches
    return {name of p, value of phones of p, value of emails of p}
  end if
end tell'

Phone Lookup

⚠️ Exact string match required — must match stored format exactly.

Stored	Search	Works?
`+1XXXXXXXXXX`	`+1XXXXXXXXXX`	✅
`+1XXXXXXXXXX`	`XXXXXXXXXX`	❌

Try with

+1

prefix first. If fails, search by name instead.

Name Search

Case-insensitive
Partial match with
```
contains
```
Exact match: use
```
is
```
instead of
```
contains
```

Output

Returns comma-separated:

name, phone1, [phone2...], email1, [email2...]

No match = empty output (not an error).
