What recipe-schedule-recurring-event does

A recipe from the googleworkspace/cli repository. There is no code of its own: the skill is a short runbook with the commands spelled out, aimed at one job — a repeating event with attendees on a calendar.

Step one is gws calendar events insert, called with the calendar id and a JSON body holding the summary, start and end times, attendee list, and a recurrence rule such as RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;BYDAY=MO. Step two confirms the result with gws calendar +agenda.

Two things must be in place first: the gws binary and the gws-calendar skill loaded, since the recipe leans on the command syntax documented there. Worth installing if your scheduling already lives in the terminal. If you have the calendar open in a browser, filling in the event form by hand is quicker.

What it helps with

  • create a weekly standup on the primary calendar
  • set a recurrence rule without opening the Calendar UI
  • confirm the event actually shows up on the agenda
  • pass attendees, duration and time zone in a single call
  • repeat the same meeting setup from the terminal

Example prompts for the agent

  • Create a weekly Monday standup with [email protected] as an attendee and verify it exists.
  • Schedule the recurring meeting and print the agenda as a table.
  • Set up a half-hour recurring sync and show me what is coming up next.

Questions about recipe-schedule-recurring-event

How do I install recipe-schedule-recurring-event in Claude Code?

Run npx skills add googleworkspace/cli --skill recipe-schedule-recurring-event -a claude-code. The skill file lands at ~/.claude/skills/recipe-schedule-recurring-event/SKILL.md. Other agents take the same command with their own -a target, for example -a cursor or -a codex.

What does recipe-schedule-recurring-event do?

It gives the agent two steps: build a recurring event with gws calendar events insert, then verify it with gws calendar +agenda. Attendees and the recurrence rule go into the JSON request body.

What do I need before using it?

The gws binary plus the gws-calendar skill loaded, because the recipe depends on the command syntax it documents. Without them the agent has nothing to assemble the call from.
