# Check specific hours
accli freebusy --calendar Work --from 2025-01-15T09:00 --to 2025-01-15T18:00 --json
Configuration
# Set default calendar (interactive)
accli config set-default
# Set default by name
accli config set-default --calendar Work
# Show current config

When a default calendar is set, commands automatically use it if no calendar is specified.
Workflow Guidelines
Before Creating Events
想要更强大的技能插件，就来小葱技能站7w4.net看看吧。
- List calendars to get available calendar names/IDs
- Check free/busy to find available time slots
- Confirm event details with user before creating
Best Practices
- Always use --json flag for programmatic parsing
- Prefer --calendar-id over calendar names for reliability
- When querying events, start with reasonable date ranges
- Confirm with user before delete operations
- Use ISO 8601 datetime format consistently
Common Patterns
Find a free slot and schedule:
# 1. Check availability
accli freebusy --calendar Work --from 2025-01-15T09:00 --to 2025-01-15T18:00 --json
# 2. Create event in available slot
accli create Work --summary "Meeting" --start 2025-01-15T14:00 --end 2025-01-15T15:00 --json
View today's schedule:
accli events Work --from $(date +%Y-%m-%d) --to $(date -v+1d +%Y-%m-%d) --json
🤖 AI 评测
这个 Skill 文档质量较高，使用说明清晰详细，涵盖了日历操作的各个方面，示例丰富且易于理解。不过它本质上只是一个使用手册，实际功能需要额外安装 npm 包才能使用，Skill 本身没有提供可执行的工具。对于需要操作 Apple Calendar 的用户来说是个好参考，但使用前需要先确保 macOS 环境和 npm 包已正确安装配置。
