Setup Apple Calendar CLI
Guided installation of the ical CLI tool for managing Apple Calendar from the command line.
Step 1: Check Prerequisites
which ical && ical versionIf ical is already installed, tell the user their calendar CLI is ready and suggest /calendar.
Step 2: Install ical
curl -fsSL https://ical.sidv.dev/install | bashThis installs the ical binary to /usr/local/bin/ical.
Step 3: Grant Calendar Access
The first time ical runs, macOS will prompt for Calendar access. Run a test command to trigger the permission dialog:
ical calendarsIf the user sees a permissions error, guide them to: 1. Open System Settings > Privacy & Security > Calendars 2. Enable access for the terminal app they're using (Terminal, iTerm2, Ghostty, etc.) 3. Re-run ical calendars
Step 4: Verify
# List calendars
ical calendars
# Show today's events
ical today -o jsonIf both commands succeed, the setup is complete. Suggest the user try /calendar.
Behavior
1. Run through steps sequentially, checking what's already done 2. Don't reinstall if ical is already present and working 3. If ical is installed but calendar access is denied, focus on the permissions step 4. After successful setup, suggest /calendar to start using it
