LobsterAI is an open-source desktop AI agent that operates files, commands, browsers, documents, spreadsheets, slides, messaging channels, and scheduled jobs in a user's working environment. It supports office work, research, and custom multi-agent workflows, while catalogue add-ons extend the agent with additional skills and workflows.
Getting it into your agent
There is no command for this one: it runs only inside a plugin, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it. The source is linked below.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00030 | $0.03538 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00015 | $0.01769 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00708 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00354 |
Grade A, and why
local-tools 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 11d 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.

When to Use This Skill
Use the local-tools skill when you need to:
- Calendar Management - View, create, update, or delete calendar events
Examples of when to use:
- User: "Show me my schedule for tomorrow"
- User: "Create a meeting at 3 PM"

- User: "Delete tomorrow's meeting"
How It Works
┌──────────┐ Bash/PowerShell ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Claude │──────────────────────▶│ calendar.sh / calendar.ps1 │

└──────────┘ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Architecture:
-
CLI Scripts - Platform-specific scripts, no HTTP server needed
calendar.sh- Bash script for macOScalendar.ps1- PowerShell script for Windows
-
Local Calendar Access - Direct access to system calendar
- macOS: Uses JXA (JavaScript for Automation) to control Calendar.app
- Windows: Uses PowerShell COM API to control Microsoft Outlook
-
JSON Output - Structured data format for easy parsing
Platform Support
| Platform | Implementation | Calendar App | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| macOS 10.10+ | JXA + Calendar.app | Calendar.app | ✅ Fully Supported |
| Windows 7+ | PowerShell + COM | Microsoft Outlook | ✅ Fully Supported |
| Linux | - | - | ❌ Not Supported |
Permissions
macOS
- Requires "Calendar" access permission
- User will be prompted on first use
- Can be managed in: System Settings > Privacy & Security > Calendar
Windows
- Requires Microsoft Outlook to be installed
- May require administrative privileges for COM access

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.

local-tools is a skill published in the GitHub repository netease-youdao/LobsterAI (6,007 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 3,538 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
