AGENTS.md

fantastical-cli AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from ramm/fantastical-cli. It costs 3,895 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project-specific instructions for Fantastical CLI, a command-line tool and server for accessing Fantastical calendar data on macOS.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when changing the Fantastical CLI, its calendar-data backends, its command-line interface, or its AI-assistant server.
Why use it?
They prevent coding agents from using unsupported calendar interfaces or breaking the project's architecture.

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions AGENTS.md.

This is ramm/fantastical-cli's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on fantastical-cli itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything fantastical-cli configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

fantastical-cli AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

AGENTS.md — Fantastical CLI + MCP Server

Project overview

A Python CLI tool (fantastical) providing composable access to Fantastical calendar data on macOS, with an MCP server for AI assistant integration. Installed via uv sync, run via uv run fantastical <command>.

Critical constraint: Fantastical does NOT sync to Calendar.app. Accounts added directly to Fantastical are invisible to Calendar.app and EventKit. All data access must go through Fantastical itself — JXA scripting or Apple Shortcuts with Fantastical's App Intents. Do NOT attempt EventKit, CalendarStore, or Calendar.app bridges.

Architecture

src/fantastical/
├── backend/
│   ├── jxa.py            # osascript -l JavaScript subprocess runner
│   ├── fantastical.py     # JXA scripts (calendars) + URL scheme (create)
│   ├── shortcuts.py       # `shortcuts run` CLI wrapper (event queries, attendees, setup checks)
│   └── shortcut_gen.py    # Programmatic .shortcut file generation + signing
├── api.py                 # Business logic — both CLI and MCP call this
├── cli.py                 # Click CLI — user-facing, formats output
└── server.py              # FastMCP server — compact output, event/attendee caching

Layer rules

  1. backend/ touches macOS. Raw subprocess calls, JXA scripts, URL schemes. Returns parsed Python dicts. Never imported by server.py or cli.py directly — only through api.py.
  2. api.py is the single source of truth. Combines backends, resolves dates ("today" -> ISO), handles "shortcuts not configured" gracefully. Returns clean dicts.
  3. cli.py calls only api.py. Formats for humans (tables) or machines (--json). Never calls backends directly.
  4. server.py calls only api.py. Returns compact tab-separated text for list/search tools (with in-memory event/attendee caching), JSON for create. See server.py for per-tool response formats.

When adding a new capability: add backend function -> add api.py function -> add CLI command + MCP tool.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
