# Calendar Manager

Calendar Manager lets you view, check availability for, and create or update calendar events through gog for Google Calendar or icalBuddy for Apple Calendar. Use it to list upcoming events, manage calendars, and delete events when needed.

**Install:**

```bash
npx degit https://github.com/daxaur/openpaw/tree/main/skills/c-calendar ~/.claude/skills/c-calendar
```

## README

This skill manages calendars via `gog` (Google Calendar) or `icalBuddy` (Apple Calendar). Check availability with `which gog icalBuddy`.

## Google Calendar — `gog cal` (gogcli)

```bash
gog cal list                               # List upcoming events
gog cal list --days 7                      # Next 7 days
gog cal list --calendar "Work"             # Specific calendar
gog cal list --start "2026-03-01" --end "2026-03-07"
gog cal get <event-id>                     # Get event details
gog cal create --title "Meeting" --start "2026-03-01T10:00" --end "2026-03-01T11:00"
gog cal create --title "Event" --start "tomorrow 2pm" --duration 1h --calendar "Work"
gog cal create --attendees "alice@x.com,bob@x.com" --title "Sync"
gog cal update <event-id> --title "New Title"
gog cal delete <event-id>
gog cal calendars                          # List all calendars
gog cal freebusy --start "tomorrow" --end "tomorrow 5pm"
```

## Apple Calendar — `icalBuddy`

```bash
icalBuddy eventsToday                        # Today's events
icalBuddy eventsToday+3                      # Events today through next 3 days
icalBuddy eventsFrom:"2026-03-01" to:"2026-03-07"
icalBuddy -ic "Work" eventsToday             # Specific calendar
icalBuddy calendars                          # List all calendars
icalBuddy uncompletedTasks                   # Incomplete reminders/tasks
```

## Usage Guidelines

- Use `gog cal freebusy` to check availability before scheduling.
- `icalBuddy` is read-only for Apple Calendar — use it for viewing, not creating.
- For creating Apple Calendar events programmatically, prefer `gog` with Google Calendar or use AppleScript via the `osascript` fallback.
- Dates accept natural language with `gog` ("tomorrow 2pm", "next Monday 9am").

## Notes

- `gog` requires Google OAuth: `gog auth`.
- `icalBuddy` reads directly from the local Calendar database (no auth needed).
- Multiple Google accounts supported via `gog cal --account work list`.
