Cal.com — Printing Press CLI

Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the
cal-com-pp-cli
binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first:
  1. Install via the Printing Press installer:
    bash
    npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press install cal-com --cli-only
  2. Verify:
    cal-com-pp-cli --version
  3. Ensure
    $GOPATH/bin
    (or
    $HOME/go/bin
    ) is on
    $PATH
    .
If the
npx
install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.23+):
bash
go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/productivity/cal-com/cmd/cal-com-pp-cli@latest
If
--version
reports "command not found" after install, the install step did not put the binary on
$PATH
. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds.

When to Use This CLI

Reach for cal-com-pp-cli whenever an agent needs to read or mutate a Cal.com calendar without burning context on the multi-call dance the API requires for booking and rescheduling. The local store makes 'what's on my calendar', 'when am I free', 'who is overloaded', and 'where are my conflicts' near-instant offline answers. The composed
book
and
reschedule next
commands are the right tools for transactional bookings; the endpoint-mirror coverage is there for everything else.

Unique Capabilities

These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API.

Composed booking flows

  • book
    — Schedule an attendee onto one of your event types in a single composed call — slot check, optional reservation, create, optional confirm.
    For the host scripting an attendee onto their calendar (admin onboarding, recruiter pre-fill, test fixtures). For the normal flow where the attendee picks their own time, share a URL from
    link list
    instead.
    bash
    cal-com-pp-cli book --event-type-id 96531 --start 2026-05-06T17:00:00Z --attendee-name Guest --attendee-email guest@example.com --dry-run
  • slots find
    — Find first available slots across multiple event-type IDs in one call, ranked by start time.
    Use this when you don't know which event type fits — let the caller pick from a ranked merged list.
    bash
    cal-com-pp-cli slots find --event-type-ids 96531 --start tomorrow --end "tomorrow 23:59" --json
  • reschedule next
    — Move an existing booking to the next available slot for the same event type, after a cutoff.
    Use this for last-minute bumps — one command instead of three, with dry-run safety.
    bash
    cal-com-pp-cli reschedule next --uid <booking-uid> --after tomorrow --dry-run

Local state that compounds

  • agenda
    — Upcoming bookings in a window — today, this week, or any duration — read from the local store.
    Use this whenever an agent needs 'what's on my calendar'; single command across any time window.
    bash
    cal-com-pp-cli agenda --window today --json --select id,start,title,attendees
  • analytics no-show
    — No-show, cancellation, volume, and density metrics over a window. Sister subcommands under analytics: bookings (volume), cancellations, no-show, density. --by accepts event-type, attendee, or weekday on the rate commands; analytics density --unit hour adds hourly heatmaps.
    Use this for capacity planning, no-show trend analysis, or attendee follow-up — answers no single API call provides.
    bash
    cal-com-pp-cli analytics no-show --window 90d --by attendee --json
  • conflicts
    — Detects overlapping bookings within a time window — pairs whose time ranges intersect get reported. Reads the local store, no API call.
    Run before sending confirmations or after a bulk reschedule — surfaces double-bookings the API silently allows.
    bash
    cal-com-pp-cli conflicts --window 7d --json
  • gaps
    — Finds open windows in your schedule that are available but unbooked, filtered by minimum block size.
    Use this for capacity planning — answers 'when can I take a meeting' rather than 'what's on my plate'.
    bash
    cal-com-pp-cli gaps --window 7d --min-minutes 60 --json
  • workload
    — Booking distribution across team members over a window — surfaces overloaded vs underutilized hosts.
    Use this for round-robin tuning or to spot host burnout before it shows up as no-shows.
    bash
    cal-com-pp-cli workload --team-id 42 --window 30d --json
  • event-types stale
    — Event types with zero bookings in the last N days — candidates for removal.
    Use this for quarterly cleanup — keeps your bookable surface from drifting.
    bash
    cal-com-pp-cli event-types stale --days 90 --json

Host control surface

  • link create
    — Create a new bookable link (event type) on your Cal.com account; prints the cal.com/<your-username>/<slug> URL ready to share.
    The host's primary creative act. Bookable links are how attendees book time; this is the command to make one.
    bash
    cal-com-pp-cli link create --slug 30min --length 30 --title "30 Min Meeting"
  • link list
    — List every bookable link you own with the full URL pre-rendered for copy-share.
    Use this to see what links you have and grab their URLs without hand-composing cal.com/<user>/<slug>.
    bash
    cal-com-pp-cli link list --json
  • ooo set
    — Mark yourself out-of-office for a date range so Cal.com excludes the period from slot search.
    Going on vacation? Sick? Run this once and stop getting booked. Optional --redirect-to-user forwards bookings to a teammate (round-robin only).
    bash
    cal-com-pp-cli ooo set --start 2026-05-12 --end 2026-05-18 --reason vacation --notes "Hawaii trip"
  • ooo list
    — List your active and upcoming OOO entries.
    bash
    cal-com-pp-cli ooo list --json

Agent-native plumbing

  • webhooks coverage
    — Audits registered webhook triggers against the canonical set and reports lifecycle events with no subscriber.
    Run this whenever you add a new automation — surfaces missed triggers like BOOKING_NO_SHOW_UPDATED before they bite.
    bash
    cal-com-pp-cli webhooks coverage --json

Finding the right command

When you know what you want to do but not which command does it, ask the CLI directly:
bash
cal-com-pp-cli which "<capability in your own words>"
which
resolves a natural-language capability query to the best matching command from this CLI's curated feature index. Exit code
0
means at least one match; exit code
2
means no confident match — fall back to
--help
or use a narrower query.

Recipes

Create a bookable link and share its URL

bash
cal-com-pp-cli link create --slug 30min --length 30 --title "30 Min Meeting"
cal-com-pp-cli link list --json --select links.slug,links.bookable_url
link create
returns the bookable URL pre-rendered (cal.com/<your-username>/<slug>);
link list
is the host's view of every link they've published.

Mark yourself out-of-office

bash
cal-com-pp-cli ooo set --start 2026-05-12 --end 2026-05-18 --reason vacation --notes "Hawaii trip"
cal-com-pp-cli ooo list --json
While the OOO entry is active, Cal.com excludes the range from slot search so you don't get booked.

Today's agenda from the local store

bash
cal-com-pp-cli agenda --window today --json --select bookings.uid,bookings.title,bookings.start,bookings.attendees
Returns just the four fields an agent needs from the agenda envelope — keeps context tight against deeply-nested booking payloads.

Cross-event-type slot search ranked by start

bash
cal-com-pp-cli slots find --event-type-ids 96531 --start tomorrow --end "tomorrow 23:59" --json --first-only
Fans out /v2/slots per event-type ID; returns only the earliest slot.

No-show rate by attendee for capacity planning

bash
cal-com-pp-cli analytics no-show --window 90d --by attendee --json
Local SQL aggregation over synced bookings; no API call.

Audit webhook coverage before adding automation

bash
cal-com-pp-cli webhooks coverage --json
Compares your registered triggers against the canonical Cal.com lifecycle set and surfaces missing subscribers.

Reschedule a booking to the next free slot

bash
cal-com-pp-cli reschedule next --uid <booking-uid> --after tomorrow --dry-run
One composed command replaces three; --dry-run prints the planned move without committing.

Auth Setup

Cal.com uses bearer tokens prefixed with
cal_live_
(live) or
cal_test_
(test). Set
CAL_COM_TOKEN
in your environment, or run
auth set-token
once. The CLI also accepts managed-user access tokens and OAuth access tokens through the same Authorization header. Per-resource API-version pinning via
cal-api-version
is handled automatically by the client.
Run
cal-com-pp-cli doctor
to verify setup.

Agent Mode

Add
--agent
to any command. Expands to:
--json --compact --no-input --no-color --yes
.
  • Pipeable — JSON on stdout, errors on stderr
  • Filterable
    --select
    keeps a subset of fields. Dotted paths descend into nested structures; arrays traverse element-wise. Critical for keeping context small on verbose APIs:
    bash
    cal-com-pp-cli bookings get --agent --select id,name,status
  • Previewable
    --dry-run
    shows the request without sending
  • Offline-friendly — sync/search commands can use the local SQLite store when available
  • Non-interactive — never prompts, every input is a flag

Response envelope

Commands that read from the local store or the API wrap output in a provenance envelope:
json
{
  "meta": {"source": "live" | "local", "synced_at": "...", "reason": "..."},
  "results": <data>
}
Parse
.results
for data and
.meta.source
to know whether it's live or local. A human-readable
N results (live)
summary is printed to stderr only when stdout is a terminal — piped/agent consumers get pure JSON on stdout.

Agent Feedback

When you (or the agent) notice something off about this CLI, record it:
cal-com-pp-cli feedback "the --since flag is inclusive but docs say exclusive"
cal-com-pp-cli feedback --stdin < notes.txt
cal-com-pp-cli feedback list --json --limit 10
Entries are stored locally at
~/.cal-com-pp-cli/feedback.jsonl
. They are never POSTed unless
CAL_COM_FEEDBACK_ENDPOINT
is set AND either
--send
is passed or
CAL_COM_FEEDBACK_AUTO_SEND=true
. Default behavior is local-only.
Write what surprised you, not a bug report. Short, specific, one line: that is the part that compounds.

Output Delivery

Every command accepts
--deliver <sink>
. The output goes to the named sink in addition to (or instead of) stdout, so agents can route command results without hand-piping. Three sinks are supported:
SinkEffect
stdout
Default; write to stdout only
file:<path>
Atomically write output to
<path>
(tmp + rename)
webhook:<url>
POST the output body to the URL (
application/json
or
application/x-ndjson
when
--compact
)
Unknown schemes are refused with a structured error naming the supported set. Webhook failures return non-zero and log the URL + HTTP status on stderr.

Named Profiles

A profile is a saved set of flag values, reused across invocations. Use it when a scheduled agent calls the same command every run with the same configuration - HeyGen's "Beacon" pattern.
cal-com-pp-cli profile save briefing --json
cal-com-pp-cli --profile briefing bookings get
cal-com-pp-cli profile list --json
cal-com-pp-cli profile show briefing
cal-com-pp-cli profile delete briefing --yes
Explicit flags always win over profile values; profile values win over defaults.
agent-context
lists all available profiles under
available_profiles
so introspecting agents discover them at runtime.
