Add an event (with date/time)

osascript << 'EOF'
tell application "Calendar"
  tell calendar "CALENDAR_NAME_HERE"
    set startDate to current date
    set year of startDate to YEAR
    set month of startDate to MONTH
    set day of startDate to DAY
    set hours of startDate to START_HOUR
    set minutes of startDate to START_MIN
    set seconds of startDate to 0
    set endDate to startDate + (DURATION_MINUTES * minutes)
    make new event with properties {summary:"EVENT_TITLE_HERE", start date:startDate, end date:endDate}
  end tell
end tell
EOF

Add an all-day event

osascript << 'EOF'
tell application "Calendar"

  end tell
end tell

List events for next 7 days

osascript << 'ASCRIPT'
tell application "Calendar"
  set startRange to current date
  set endRange to current date + (7 * days)
  set output to ""
  repeat with cal in {calendar "Work", calendar "Home", calendar "Akash & Abhigna"}
    set evts to (every event of cal whose start date ≥ startRange and start date ≤ endRange)
    repeat with e in evts
      set output to output & (summary of e) & " | " & (start date of e as string) & " [" & (name of cal) & "]" & return
    end repeat
  end repeat
  return output
end tell
ASCRIPT

Add event with location

osascript << 'EOF'
tell application "Calendar"
  tell calendar "CALENDAR_NAME_HERE"
    -- (set up startDate and endDate as above)
    make new event with properties {summary:"EVENT_TITLE", start date:startDate, end date:endDate, location:"LOCATION_HERE"}
  end tell
end tell
EOF

After adding an event, confirm with:

"Added to [calendar name]: [title] on [date] at [time] ✓"

Notes

• Month in AppleScript uses integers: January=1, February=2... December=12
• Always ask: which calendar? If unsure and involves Abhigna → Akash & Abhigna
• Calendar.app syncs to Google Calendar within ~30 seconds
