Agent Behavior: Default Calendar Selection

When creating tasks or calendar events, if the user does not specify a calendar:

1. First time (no default set):

   • Run calendars list --type tasks (for tasks) or calendars list --type events (for events)
   • Ask the user which calendar to use from the list
   • Ask if they want to set it as the default for future operations
   • Remember their choice in memory

2. If user sets a default:

   • Remember default_task_calendar and/or default_event_calendar
   • Use automatically for subsequent operations without asking

3. If user declines to set a default:

   • Ask again next time they create a task/event without specifying a calendar

4. User can always override:

   • Explicitly specifying --calendar always takes precedence over the default

Memory Keys

• default_task_calendar: Default calendar name for tasks (VTODO)
• default_event_calendar: Default calendar name for events (VEVENT)

Agent Behavior: Default Address Book Selection

When creating contacts, if the user does not specify an address book:

1. First time (no default set):

   • Run addressbooks list
   • Ask the user which address book to use from the list
   • Ask if they want to set it as the default for future operations
   • Remember their choice in memory

2. If user sets a default:

   • Remember default_addressbook
   • Use automatically for subsequent operations without asking

3. If user declines to set a default:

   • Ask again next time they create a contact without specifying an address book

4. User can always override:

   • Explicitly specifying --addressbook always takes precedence over the default

Memory Keys

• default_addressbook: Default address book name for contacts

Agent Behavior: Presenting Information

When displaying data to the user, format it in a readable way. Output may be sent to messaging platforms (Telegram, WhatsApp, etc.) where markdown does not render, so avoid markdown formatting.

General Guidelines

• Use emojis to make output scannable and friendly
• Do NOT use markdown formatting (no bold, italic, code, tables, or lists with - or *)
• Use plain text with line breaks for structure
• Convert technical formats (like CalDAV dates) to human-readable formats
• Group related items logically
