Use bundled scripts for reliable Calendar.app operations.

Workflow

1. Extract title, start/end, timezone, calendar, location, notes, alarm.
2. Check conflicts before writing:
   • scripts/list_events.swift <start_iso> <end_iso>
3. Prefer idempotent writes:
   • scripts/upsert_event.py (create/update/skip)
4. Apply alarm if requested:
   • scripts/set_alarm.py --uid <event_uid> --alarm-minutes <n>
5. For hygiene, run duplicate scan:
   • scripts/calendar_clean.py --start <iso> --end <iso>

Calendar routing defaults

• Workout / Run / Training → Training
• Work / Meeting / Client → Work
• Product / Development / Building → Product
• Personal / Social / Travel → Life
• If unspecified: prefer writable iCloud/CalDAV calendars over local calendars.

Note: Calendar names vary by user setup. Map the intent to the closest local calendar name before writing.

Commands

List calendars

swift scripts/list_calendars.swift

List events in range

swift scripts/list_events.swift "2026-03-06T00:00:00+08:00" "2026-03-06T23:59:59+08:00"

Output includes uid for follow-up alarm/edit operations.

Idempotent create/update (recommended)

python3 scripts/upsert_event.py \
  --title "Team sync" \
  --start "2026-03-06T19:00:00+08:00" \
  --end "2026-03-06T20:00:00+08:00" \
  --calendar "Work" \
  --notes "Agenda" \
  --location "Online" \
  --alarm-minutes 15

Result is one of: CREATED, UPDATED, SKIPPED. Use --dry-run for preview.

Legacy direct add (always creates)

python3 scripts/add_event.py --title "..." --start "..." --end "..."

Set alarm by UID

python3 scripts/set_alarm.py --uid "EVENT_UID" --alarm-minutes 15

Move event (legacy utility)

swift scripts/move_event.swift "Team sync" "Work" "2026-03-07T10:00:00+08:00" 60 --search-days 7
# optional precise match:
# --original-start "2026-03-06T10:00:00+08:00"

Prefer upsert_event.py for most rescheduling flows; use move_event.swift for direct title-based move when needed.

Duplicate scan / cleanup

python3 scripts/calendar_clean.py --start "2026-03-01T00:00:00+08:00" --end "2026-03-08T23:59:59+08:00"
python3 scripts/calendar_clean.py --start "..." --end "..." --apply --confirm yes --snapshot-out ./delete-plan.json

Upcoming events (within 2 hours)

python3 scripts/within_2h.py

Environment + tests

python3 scripts/env_check.py
python3 scripts/regression_test.py
scripts/smoke_test.sh

Daily auto-check notifier

scripts/install.sh     # run env check + install cron from config.json
scripts/uninstall.sh   # remove cron

Extraction & scheduling heuristics (from real usage)

1. Speaker ownership from chat screenshots
   • Treat the user's message bubble as primary intent.
   • Treat counterpart bubbles as constraints (availability/travel window), not direct auto-create tasks.
