SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Busy professionals lose focus time to fragmented schedules, back-to-back meetings, and unscheduled strategic work. This Skill analyzes your Google Calendar, detects scheduling bottlenecks, and turns your daily todo list into concrete, approved calendar time blocks. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Schedule Analysis & Bottleneck Detection: Measures meeting load, utilization, back-to-back chains, deep work availability, and schedule fragmentation, then reports actionable findings. - Smart Daily Timeboxing: Matches prioritized todos (urgent/important) to free slots using duration estimates, energy patterns, and buffer rules, capped at 75% utilization. - Focus Block & Recurring Strategic Events: Creates [Focus] and [Strategic] calendar events (including monthly/quarterly recurring blocks like security audits) only after explicit user approval. - Use Case: Each morning, hand the Skill your daily note's todo list; it proposes a timeboxed schedule around your meetings, flags that you're overcommitted at 85% utilization, and creates approved focus blocks in Google Calendar. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to analyze today's calendar and timebox the todos from my daily note into focus blocks.

Frequently Asked Questions about calendar-manager

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I timebox my daily todos in Google Calendar?▼

Provide your daily note's todo list and let the Skill match tasks to free calendar slots by priority, duration estimates, and energy patterns. It proposes a timeboxing plan capped at 75% utilization and creates focus block events only after you approve them.

How does the Skill detect scheduling bottlenecks?▼

It calculates schedule utilization, flags overcommitment above 85%, detects back-to-back meeting chains over 2 hours, checks for insufficient morning deep work time, and identifies fragmented schedules with too many small gaps.

Does this Skill require the Google Workspace MCP server?▼

Yes, all calendar operations use Google Workspace MCP tools like get_events, manage_event, manage_focus_time, and query_freebusy. If the MCP server is unavailable, it falls back to a text-based timeboxing plan you can enter manually.

Can the Skill modify or delete my existing calendar events?▼

No. It never modifies, deletes, or responds to existing events or invitations. It only creates new events prefixed with [Focus] or [Strategic], requires explicit approval before creation, and provides undo instructions.

How do recurring strategic blocks like monthly security audits get scheduled?▼

Recurring block templates are defined in config with frequency, duration, and timing. The Skill searches for existing instances, reports missing ones, and creates events with RRULE recurrence patterns after your approval.
