Authoring a calendar week

Know the main television skill first. Re-read it only if it is not already in your context or you know it changed. It defines the general Television workflow, path artifact registration, and the canonical HTML house style. This skill only adds calendar-specific guidance.

A working-week calendar with a generated header strip, all-day band, time axis, and timed event grid. The agent only authors a single <calendar-week> plus flat sibling <calendar-event> children. The component renders the rest.

Required assets

Every calendar artifact must be self-contained. Read calendar.css and calendar.js from this skill folder and carry them into the artifact output instead of referencing /skills/tv-calendar/... URLs.

For a Television HTML directory artifact, copy both files into the registered directory next to index.html and reference them relatively:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/canonical/v2/styles.css?authoredForAppVersion=<version>" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./calendar.css" />
<script type="module" src="./calendar.js"></script>

For a running server, read the exact release version from tv status; when working in a Television checkout, read the exact version from the checkout root package.json. Copy that exact release version unchanged into authoredForAppVersion. A missing version or the 0.0.0 development sentinel does not identify a release, so omit the metadata.

For a standalone single-file HTML artifact, inline the contents of calendar.css and calendar.js directly into <style> and <script type="module"> tags so the output stays self-contained.

calendar.js registers the custom elements. calendar.css provides the calendar-specific chrome styling. Do not reimplement those elements yourself.

Markup contract

Author exactly this surface:

<calendar-week start-date="YYYY-MM-DD" days="N" start-hour="8">
  <calendar-event title="..." start="..." end="..." color="blue"></calendar-event>
  <calendar-event title="..." start="..." end="..." all-day color="purple"></calendar-event>
</calendar-week>

<calendar-week> attributes:

• start-date is required and must be a real YYYY-MM-DD date.
• days is required and should usually be 5 or 7.
• start-hour is optional. Omit it unless you need a fixed initial scroll position.

<calendar-event> attributes:

• title is required.
• start is required.
• end is required.
• all-day is optional and presence-only. Use it only for all-day events.
• color is optional. Allowed values: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple.

Timed vs. all-day events

Timed events:

• Omit all-day.
• Use YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM wall-clock datetimes for both start and end.
• Keep each event within a single day.

All-day events:

• Include all-day.
• Use date-only YYYY-MM-DD values for both start and end.
• end is non-inclusive, following RFC 5545.

What the component auto-renders

Do not author any of these directly:

• <calendar-headers>
• <calendar-day>
• <calendar-allday>
• <calendar-grid>
• <calendar-time-axis>
• <calendar-column>
• <calendar-cell>

Behavior to rely on

• all-day events clip silently to the visible range
• all-day events stack into lanes automatically when their visible spans overlap
• timed events on the same day cascade to the right when their time ranges overlap
• malformed events are silently dropped

Content guidance

• make the schedule feel real
• vary event titles and durations
• use the color palette intentionally
• avoid placeholder text like "Event 1"
