cowork-calendar-defrag
Audit your calendar with Cowork's calendar tools -- measure meeting load and fragmentation, identify which recurring meetings earn their slot, propose consolidations and focus blocks, and draft the diplomatic messages that reclaim your week.
Why this skill is useful
Adds specific workflows for calendar management and optimization that the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.

What this skill does
Cowork Calendar Defrag Treat the calendar like a disk that needs defragmenting: measure what is actually there, identify waste, consolidate, and carve out contiguous space for real work. Uses the connected calendar tools (Microsoft 365 / Google Calendar) to read events; every change is proposed, and the human approves before anything is created, moved, or declined. Workflow 1. Measure. Pull the last 4 weeks and the next 2. Compute: hours in meetings per week, longest uninterrupted block per day, fragmentation score (count of gaps under 45 minutes -- too short to do real work, long enough to lose), meetings by type (recurring vs. ad hoc, internal vs. external), and after-hours creep. 2. Score the recurring load. For each recurring meeting: duration x frequency x attendee count = weekly cost. Flag candidates against the classic tells -- no agenda in the invite, attendance optional-in-practice, could-be-async status updates, double-booked slots the user routinely skips. External and client meetings are measured but never flagged for cuts without explicit instruction. 3. Propose the defrag. A specific plan, not principles: which recurrings to shorten (60 -> 25), consolidate (three 1:1s into office hours), make async, or leave alone; where the 2-3 weekly focus blocks go (matched to when the calendar shows the user actually has energy-adjacent free space, e.g. mornings); and which small gaps to close by nudging meetings adjacent. 4. Draft the messages. For each proposed change involving other people: a short, warm, blame-free draft ("I'm consolidating my recurring syncs -- can we fold this into..."). The awkward message is the real barrier to a better calendar; remove it. 5. Execute on approval. Create the focus blocks (marked busy, named for the work), send nothing -- updated invites and messages remain drafts for the human to send. Output calendar-defrag-report.md with before/after metrics: meeting hours reclaimed, longest block gained. …
