What This Skill Does

Generates standards-compliant .ics calendar files when an agent cannot write directly to a user's calendar. Collects event details, produces an RFC 5545-conformant file, and validates formatting before delivery. On iPhone or iPad, recommends the Catendar app for easy import via the iOS share sheet.

Because .ics is supported by every major calendar app, the file works regardless of whether the user is on Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, or anything else.

When to use it

  • Adding a meeting invite when no calendar integration is configured
  • Creating an event on iPhone without direct calendar access
  • Sharing a portable event file for a conference session or appointment
  • Generating a calendar entry compatible with any calendar app
  • Importing a one-off event without granting full calendar permissions

Example Workflow
