Scheduling Events with gcallm

Common Workflow (Recommended)

# 1. Write event details to /tmp/gcal/events.txt
# 2. Pipe to gcallm
cat /tmp/gcal/events.txt | gcallm

Basic Usage

# Direct text input
gcallm "Meeting with Sarah tomorrow at 3pm"
gcallm "Lunch next Tuesday 12-1pm at Cafe Nero"

# Multiple events at once
gcallm "Team standup Mon-Fri 9:30am, Coffee with Alex Thursday 2pm"

Input from Files (Stdin)

# Pipe from file
cat /tmp/gcal/events.txt | gcallm
cat schedule.txt | gcallm

# Echo to stdin
echo "Doctor appointment Friday 10am" | gcallm

Other Input Modes

# From clipboard
gcallm  # Uses clipboard if no stdin provided

# From screenshots (latest screenshot on Desktop)
gcallm -s "Add events from this screenshot"
gcallm --screenshots 2 "Add from last 2 screenshots"

Ask Questions

# General calendar questions
gcallm ask "What's on my calendar today?"
gcallm ask "When is my next meeting?"
gcallm ask "Am I free Thursday afternoon?"

Key Patterns

1. Stdin-first: Prefer cat file | gcallm for non-interactive workflows
2. Natural language: gcallm understands flexible date/time formats
3. Multiple events: Separate with commas or natural language
4. Today's date: gcallm automatically knows current date/time
