You can install it via Homebrew by running 'brew tap schappim/ekctl && brew install ekctl' in your terminal.

What is ekctl and why is it required for this skill?

ekctl is a command-line utility for macOS that provides a JSON-based interface for interacting with the native Calendar and Reminders apps, allowing Claude to read and write your schedule safely.

Does this skill handle different timezones?

Yes, the skill is designed to use ISO 8601 format with timezone offsets (e.g., +10:00 or Z) to ensure events are created accurately regardless of your location.

Can I use short names for my calendars instead of long IDs?

Absolutely. The skill includes a workflow for setting up aliases, allowing you to refer to a calendar as 'work' or 'personal' instead of using its unique system identifier.

Is my calendar data kept private?

The skill operates locally on your machine using the ekctl CLI; you must grant the terminal or Claude Code permission to access your Calendar and Reminders in macOS System Settings.
