calendar

A command-line tool for viewing and changing events in Apple Calendar. It can show schedules, search events, and create, update, or delete calendar entries.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check today’s events, view upcoming days, search for meetings, create events, and manage events within selected Apple calendars.
Why use it?
It lets a coding agent work with your calendar through commands instead of requiring manual changes in the Calendar app.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

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 yesterday.

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.

Apple Calendar (ical)

Manage Apple Calendar from the command line using ical — a native macOS Calendar CLI built on EventKit with full CRUD support.

Prerequisites

ical must be installed. If any command fails with "command not found", suggest running /setup-calendar.

Usage

  • /calendar — Show today's events
  • /calendar tomorrow — Show tomorrow's events
  • /calendar week — Show the next 7 days
  • /calendar add "Team standup" -s "tomorrow 9am" -e "tomorrow 9:30am" — Create event
  • /calendar search "standup" — Search events

Calendar Filtering

Calendars can be excluded from queries using the --exclude-calendar flag (repeatable). Configure excluded calendars in your CLAUDE.md so they're applied automatically. Example CLAUDE.md snippet:

## Calendar Exclusions
When using `/calendar`, always add these flags to list/today/upcoming/search commands:
--exclude-calendar "shared-calendar-name"

To discover available calendars:

ical calendars -o json

Commands

List today's events

ical today -o json

List events for a date range

# Tomorrow
ical list -f tomorrow -t tomorrow -o json

# Next 7 days
ical upcoming 7 -o json

# Specific date range
ical list -f "2026-03-03" -t "2026-03-07" -o json

# Filter by specific calendar
ical list -f today -t today -c "Work" -o json

Show event details

ical show --id "<full-event-id>" -o json

Create events

# Basic event
ical add "Sprint Planning" -s "2026-03-03 10:00" -e "2026-03-03 11:00" -c "Work"

# With location and notes
ical add "Dentist" -s "2026-03-05 14:00" -e "2026-03-05 15:00" -l "123 Main St" -n "Annual checkup"

# All-day event
ical add "PTO" -s "2026-03-10" -a -c "Work"

# With alert
ical add "Deploy window" -s "2026-03-03 16:00" -e "2026-03-03 17:00" --alert 15m

# Recurring event
ical add "Weekly standup" -s "2026-03-03 09:00" -e "2026-03-03 09:30" -r weekly --repeat-days "mon,wed,fri"

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.
