caldav-calendar

caldav-calendar is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from davidtoby/agent-skills. It costs 36 tokens per session (1,048 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of command-line tools for syncing online CalDAV calendars—such as iCloud, Google, Fastmail, or Nextcloud—with local calendar files. khal reads and edits the local events, while vdirsyncer synchronises changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Listing events by date or calendar, searching for meetings, creating all-day or timed events, and interactively editing event details such as titles, notes, times, or locations.
Why use it?
It gives terminal-based access to calendar events and keeps local copies in step with online calendars. You must sync before reading recent changes and after making edits.

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

caldav-calendar 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 10d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 150 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CalDAV Calendar (vdirsyncer + khal)

vdirsyncer syncs CalDAV calendars to local .ics files. khal reads and writes them.

Sync First

Always sync before querying or after making changes:

vdirsyncer sync

View Events

khal list                        # Today
khal list today 7d               # Next 7 days
khal list tomorrow               # Tomorrow
khal list 2026-01-15 2026-01-20  # Date range
khal list -a Work today          # Specific calendar
khal search "meeting"
khal search "dentist" --format "{start-date} {title}"

Create Events

khal new 2026-01-15 10:00 11:00 "Meeting title"
khal new 2026-01-15 "All day event"
khal new tomorrow 14:00 15:30 "Call" -a Work
khal new 2026-01-15 10:00 11:00 "With notes" :: Description goes here

After creating, sync to push changes:

vdirsyncer sync

Edit Events (interactive)

khal edit is interactive — requires a TTY. Use tmux if automating:

khal edit "search term"
khal edit -a CalendarName "search term"
khal edit --show-past "old event"

Menu options:

  • s → edit summary
  • d → edit description
  • t → edit datetime range
  • l → edit location
  • D → delete event
  • n → skip (save changes, next match)
  • q → quit

After editing, sync:

vdirsyncer sync

Delete Events

Use khal edit, then press D to delete.

Output Formats

For scripting:

khal list --format "{start-date} {start-time}-{end-time} {title}" today 7d
khal list --format "{uid} | {title} | {calendar}" today

Placeholders: {title}, {description}, {start}, {end}, {start-date}, {start-time}, {end-date}, {end-time}, {location}, {calendar}, {uid}

Caching

khal caches events in ~/.local/share/khal/khal.db. If data looks stale after syncing:

rm ~/.local/share/khal/khal.db

Initial Setup

1. Configure vdirsyncer (~/.config/vdirsyncer/config)

Example for iCloud:

[general]
status_path = "~/.local/share/vdirsyncer/status/"

[pair icloud_calendar]
a = "icloud_remote"
b = "icloud_local"
collections = ["from a", "from b"]
conflict_resolution = "a wins"

[storage icloud_remote]
type = "caldav"
url = "https://caldav.icloud.com/"
username = "[email protected]"
password.fetch = ["command", "cat", "~/.config/vdirsyncer/icloud_password"]

[storage icloud_local]
type = "filesystem"
path = "~/.local/share/vdirsyncer/calendars/"
fileext = ".ics"

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
