Calendar connects Homie to household and member calendars so briefs, reminders, events, and project timelines can stay grounded in real dates.
A skill gives Homie one narrow job. It can make answers better in that area, but it does not unlock the rest of the house or skip approvals.
Ask for this skill when your request clearly belongs to one of these situations.
- You want to check what is happening today, this week, or around a project date.
- You want Homie to add or change an event after the right calendar account is connected.
- You want daily briefs, reminders, or plans to respect real calendar commitments.
Calendar events can come from Homie and from connected calendar accounts. Two-way changes require the right person to opt in with the right permission.
If setup is incomplete, Homie should say what is missing instead of pretending it can act.
Homie can use only the information this skill exposes and only within the permissions the household has granted.
- Upcoming household and member events
- Connected Google or other calendar account events
- Homie-created calendar events marked so they do not appear twice
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 reuse an old calendar sign-in for two-way changes without the right permission.
- It will not treat arbitrary email text as a calendar event unless Homie has clearly found an event.
Skill information should stay 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 installed, enabled, and connected. Then ask with the real object name, such as a calendar, room, recipe, playlist, inbox, or member.

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, enabled, 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: Examples in this article work only when the skill exists in this home and setup is complete.
What stays private: Homie changes saved household information only from the household Mac. Background work cannot quietly edit it.
