Grant Python calendar access for ~30x faster calendar queries.

  • The user says connect my calendar
  • SKILL.md covers Process, Technical Notes and Troubleshooting
  • Calls python3 and pip3

What it does

Calendar Setup is an agent skill from davekilleen/Dex. Grant Python calendar access for ~30x faster calendar queries. Use when the user says 'connect my calendar', 'calendar is slow', 'set up calendar access'. Not for connecting Google Workspace as a whole; use google-workspace-setup.

Its SKILL.md is about 950 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Cloud office suites. It works with Python, Google Workspace and Visual Studio Code. The repository describes itself as: Your AI Chief of Staff — a personal operating system starter kit that adapts to your role. No coding required.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says connect my calendar
  • Calendar is slow
  • Set up calendar access

Example prompts

  • “connect my calendar”
  • “calendar is slow”
  • “set up calendar access”
  • “/calendar-setup”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Check current permission status
  2. If Already Authorized
  3. If NotDetermined or Denied
  4. If Restricted
  5. After Success

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ab5d6ad. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3
    • pip3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip3, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Calendar Setup loads about 945 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 491 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~62
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~945

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 491 words (~945 tokens).

“Purpose: Grant calendar access for 30x faster calendar queries (30s → <1s)”
