Read Calendar

Retrieves calendar events from macOS Calendar for analysis, planning, and scheduling.

When to Use

•"What's on my calendar today?"
•"Show me my schedule for this week"
•"Do I have any meetings tomorrow?"
•"What's my next meeting?"

Requirements

This skill requires icalBuddy to properly handle recurring events: ```bash brew install ical-buddy ```

Instructions

Execute Calendar Read

Use icalBuddy to retrieve events including recurring ones:

```bash icalBuddy -n -iep "title,datetime,location" -df "%Y-%m-%d" -tf "%H:%M" eventsFrom:<start_date> to:<end_date> ```

Example: ```bash icalBuddy -n -iep "title,datetime,location" -df "%Y-%m-%d" -tf "%H:%M" eventsFrom:2025-10-26 to:2025-10-27 ```

Note: icalBuddy properly handles recurring events (unlike AppleScript which doesn't pre-generate future instances).

Present Results

Format events clearly:

•Group by day
•Show time, title, location, calendar name
•Highlight conflicts if any
•Identify gaps for focus time
•Mark recurring events clearly
