/calendar

Pull Google Calendar context into the GTD system using the Google Calendar MCP tools.

Uses the connected Google Calendar MCP server (tools named mcp__*_Google_Calendar__*).

Process

1. Read the Calendar

• Use list_events on the primary calendar for the relevant window:
  • /daily → today (00:00 → 24:00 local)
  • /weekly → the upcoming 7 days
• Use list_calendars first if you need a non-primary calendar.

2. Surface Context for Planning

• Summarize fixed commitments (meetings, appointments) with start/end times
• Identify open blocks of time available for focus work and task time-blocking
• Flag conflicts, back-to-back stretches, and travel/buffer needs

3. Create / Update Events (only when asked)

• Time-block a task: create_event with summary, startTime, endTime (full ISO 8601), optional timeZone
• Reschedule or adjust: update_event
• Never create, move, or delete events automatically — only when I explicitly ask.

4. Keep calendar.md in Sync

• calendar.md mirrors the recurring daily skeleton and dated commitments for the GTD side.
• When the recurring blocks change in Google Calendar, re-sync the skeleton table in calendar.md and update the "Last synced" date.

Notes

• Times are interpreted in my primary calendar's time zone unless I specify otherwise.
• This skill provides calendar context for /daily and /weekly; task content lives in Todoist via the /todoist skill.
