Events skill

Use this skill when the request belongs to this part of the home. If the skill is off or missing setup, Homie should say that clearly before acting.

Events surfaces local events so the household can decide what to do nearby.

A skill gives Homie a narrow job. It helps Homie answer better in that area, but it does not unlock the rest of the house or skip normal approvals.

Ask for this skill when your question clearly belongs to one of these everyday situations.

- You want ideas for what to do nearby this weekend or on a specific date.

- You want event options to connect with calendar planning.

- You want local event cards on the dashboard when the skill is configured.

Homie can use only the information this skill exposes and only within the permissions the household has granted.

- Local event data

- Event cards and images

- Household location

This skill does not give Homie unlimited access. It still follows the same privacy, setup, and approval rules as the rest of Homie.

- It will not know private attendee plans unless those are in connected calendar or chat context.

Events must be turned on for the household before its dashboard card appears.

If setup is incomplete, Homie should say what is missing instead of pretending it can act. Some skills also depend on a connected account, a trusted household device, or a scheduled check from the home Mac.

Skill information stays with the place that owns it. Calendar events stay in calendars, recipes stay in Cookbook, messages stay in message history, and memories store only durable meaning.

If the skill touches member-specific data, Homie should know which member is asking before it uses private records.

First confirm the skill is enabled. Then ask with the real object name, such as a calendar, room, recipe, playlist, inbox, or member.

- Open Settings or the Skills overlay to see whether this skill is enabled and healthy.

- Use plain language. Homie can choose the right skill when it has enough context.

- If an action would reach outside the household, expect an approval card first.

Most Homie issues come from setup, identity, or approval state. Work through these checks before assuming Homie ignored the request.

- Check whether the skill tile is visible and healthy.

- Verify account access, device pairing, and any setup fields the skill asks for.

- For scheduled skill work, check the trusted home setup before assuming Homie forgot.

Check first: If this skill is missing or vague, check whether it is enabled, supported on this home setup, and fully connected.

What stays private: Homie changes saved household information only from the household Mac. Background work cannot quietly edit it.

- Open Settings or the Skills overlay to see whether this skill is enabled and healthy.

- Use plain language. Homie can choose the right skill when it has enough context.

- If an action would reach outside the household, expect an approval card first.
