Strengths
- Native interaction with macOS calendars and reminders without GUI
- Automation of scheduling and task tracking
- Supports creation, update, deletion, and search operations
Limitations
- Requires macOS and the uv tool

When you need to programmatically create, modify, or query calendar events or reminders on macOS.
If you are on a different operating system or prefer a graphical interface for calendar management.
Security analysis
SafeThe skill only runs local Python scripts (calctl.py, remindctl.py) via uv to manage macOS Calendar and Reminders. It uses allowed-tools Bash and Read, and the scripts require explicit user-granted permissions through macOS. No dangerous operations such as arbitrary code execution, data exfiltration, or system modifications are present.

Quick Reference
# Calendar
uv run scripts/calctl.py list
uv run scripts/calctl.py get --calendar all --start 2026-03-16 --end 2026-03-22
uv run scripts/calctl.py create --calendar Work --title "Meeting" --start 2026-03-20T14:00:00 --end 2026-03-20T15:00:00
uv run scripts/calctl.py search --query "review"
uv run scripts/calctl.py update --id "<event_id>" --start 2026-03-20T15:00:00 --end 2026-03-20T16:00:00
uv run scripts/calctl.py delete --calendar Work --id "<event_id>"
# Reminders
uv run scripts/remindctl.py list
uv run scripts/remindctl.py get today
uv run scripts/remindctl.py get week --list Work
uv run scripts/remindctl.py create --title "Submit report" --list Work --due 2026-03-20T23:59:00 --priority high
uv run scripts/remindctl.py search --query "assignment"
uv run scripts/remindctl.py update --id "<id>" --due 2026-03-21T23:59:00
uv run scripts/remindctl.py complete --id "<id>"
uv run scripts/remindctl.py delete --id "<id>" --confirm
Authorization
On first use, run status --authorize to trigger the macOS permission prompt:
uv run scripts/calctl.py status --authorize
uv run scripts/remindctl.py status --authorize
If permission is denied or the prompt doesn't appear, read authorization.md to guide the user through manual setup. Do not retry in a loop.
