AI-generated overview

Creates recurring focus time blocks on Google Calendar to protect deep work hours.

What it does: This recipe instructs the agent to insert a recurring weekly focus block on the primary Google Calendar using the gws calendar command, with a summary, description, start and end times, a weekday recurrence rule, and opaque transparency. It then verifies the block appears as busy by checking the agenda. It produces calendar events rather than files.
When to use it: Use it when you want to reserve protected deep work hours on a recurring basis in Google Calendar. It suits scheduling routines that need a repeating weekday focus block and confirmation that the time shows as busy.
Requirements: Requires the gws command-line tool and the gws-calendar skill; it also needs Google Calendar access through that tool. It ships no scripts and is instructions only.
