# AGENTS.md — Build guide for Morgen ## Project scope Combine events from one supported calendar account with a task inbox, drag work into time blocks and show two selected timezones. Add a daily planning review before expanding to more providers. Catalogue verdict: kinda. The core loop is buildable, but a dependable replacement becomes a real weekend or multi-day project. For Morgen, unify calendars and tasks, create booking pages, and plan work across time zones. The hard boundary is multiple calendar providers, task integrations, mobile apps, and sync reliability, plus cross-device reliability and workflow polish. Use the implementation prompt below to define the deliverable. Complete each phase's acceptance checks before extending the scope. ## Working agreement - Inspect the repository and its existing instructions before choosing paths, dependencies or commands. Keep one coherent stack and explain changes to the proposed architecture. - Plan a vertical slice that accepts a real input and produces the useful output described below. Persist only the state the prompt calls for; respect memory-only and upstream-managed workflows. Use fixtures only when they are clearly labelled. - After scaffolding, document the actual install, development, check and build commands in README and keep them synchronized with the package or project manifest. Do not report commands as successful unless they ran. - Work in small steps. At handoff, list implemented flows, checks actually performed, remaining blockers, and any credentials or provider setup the owner must supply. - Do not publish, spend money, contact customers, delete source data or run irreversible migrations without the project owner's authorization. ## Prerequisites - Google OAuth credentials, a registered HTTPS callback and calendar access granted by the owner. Confirm the provider scopes and publishing requirements before adding guests. - Implementation components: Next.js App Router and TypeScript for server-rendered pages and validated mutations. PostgreSQL with Drizzle migrations; Better Auth sessions for a small private workspace. One Google Calendar OAuth adapter, a timezone-aware date library, and an outbox worker for email/ICS delivery. - Scope boundary: multiple calendar providers, task integrations, mobile apps, and sync reliability; perfect mobile sync ## Stack and architecture - Next.js App Router and TypeScript for server-rendered pages and validated mutations. - PostgreSQL with Drizzle migrations; Better Auth sessions for a small private workspace. - One Google Calendar OAuth adapter, a timezone-aware date library, and an outbox worker for email/ICS delivery. - Domain model: calendar connections, provider event IDs, tasks, planned blocks, timezones and conflict-resolution records ## Security and data integrity - Encrypt refresh tokens with a separately managed key; expose busy intervals rather than event titles publicly. Hash guest management tokens and bound their lifetime. - Correctness boundary: User-owned event edits are conditional on provider revisions; moving a task block cannot overwrite an unrelated calendar event. - Store UTC instants plus the intended IANA timezone. Reserve locally in a transaction, recheck provider availability, create with a stable external ID, then reconcile timeouts before retrying. - Export versioned JSON plus attachments and a readable CSV summary. Restore into a separate database and compare record IDs and attachment checksums before switching. ## Agent implementation rules - Project rule — data model: calendar connections, provider event IDs, tasks, planned blocks, timezones and conflict-resolution records - Project rule — preserve this invariant: User-owned event edits are conditional on provider revisions; moving a task block cannot overwrite an unrelated calendar event. - Project rule — acceptance evidence: A provider edit between fetch and save raises a conflict; moving a block across a daylight-saving transition retains its intended duration. ## Optional agent skills and references - Optional external skill: [gws-calendar](https://github.com/googleworkspace/cli/blob/main/skills/gws-calendar/SKILL.md) — Use Google Calendar calendars, events, recurrence, free/busy queries and integration discovery through the gws CLI. Review its instructions and compatibility before use; it does not grant deployment, data-access or publication permission. - Optional external skill: [supabase-postgres-best-practices](https://github.com/supabase/agent-skills/blob/main/skills/supabase-postgres-best-practices/SKILL.md) — Review PostgreSQL schemas, queries, indexes, pooling, concurrency and row-level security. Review its instructions and compatibility before use; it does not grant deployment, data-access or publication permission. - Optional external skill: [web-design-guidelines](https://github.com/vercel-labs/agent-skills/blob/main/skills/web-design-guidelines/SKILL.md) — Review web interfaces for accessibility, keyboard focus, forms, navigation and interaction quality. Review its instructions and compatibility before use; it does not grant deployment, data-access or publication permission. Read the linked SKILL.md and its dependencies before adding a skill. Select only the skills matching this project's runtime and task; their documentation does not supply API access, credentials or approval to perform external actions. Pin the reviewed revision where the tool supports it. Follow the chosen agent's documented project-level installation mechanism. ## Distribution ideas These are optional planning notes. Obtain the owner's approval before publishing or contacting anyone. - Demonstrate the actual Morgen-inspired workflow with owned or clearly labeled sample data: Combine events from one supported calendar account with a task inbox, drag work into time blocks and show two selected timezones. Add a daily planning review before expanding to more providers. - Publish a reproducible walkthrough with this observable result: A provider edit between fetch and save raises a conflict; moving a block across a daylight-saving transition retains its intended duration. - Explain who can operate this scoped tool, its setup and ongoing costs, and these remaining product gaps: multiple calendar providers, task integrations, mobile apps, and sync reliability; perfect mobile sync Avoid guaranteed savings, performance scores or implied endorsement. ## Engineering roadmap 1. Phase 1 — Scope and fixtures. Implement this bounded workflow: Combine events from one supported calendar account with a task inbox, drag work into time blocks and show two selected timezones. Add a daily planning review before expanding to more providers. Record prerequisites, select representative user-owned fixtures and document the unsupported features: multiple calendar providers, task integrations, mobile apps, and sync reliability; perfect mobile sync 2. Phase 2 — Durable model. Model calendar connections, provider event IDs, tasks, planned blocks, timezones and conflict-resolution records Add migrations or a versioned document format, explicit validation, stable IDs and a visible import-error report. Preserve this rule: User-owned event edits are conditional on provider revisions; moving a task block cannot overwrite an unrelated calendar event. 3. Phase 3 — Complete the first useful path. Implement the workflow's input, review and output interface, with clear controls and explicit empty/error states. Store UTC instants plus the intended IANA timezone. Reserve locally in a transaction, recheck provider availability, create with a stable external ID, then reconcile timeouts before retrying. 4. Phase 4 — Permissions and integration failure. Encrypt refresh tokens with a separately managed key; expose busy intervals rather than event titles publicly. Hash guest management tokens and bound their lifetime. Request integration credentials and permissions only for the enabled feature; show a disconnected state instead of mock results. 5. Phase 5 — Portable handoff. Export versioned JSON plus attachments and a readable CSV summary. Restore into a separate database and compare record IDs and attachment checksums before switching. Include setup, operating limits, fixture walkthrough and shutdown/restart instructions in the README. 6. Phase 6 — Acceptance scenarios. A provider edit between fetch and save raises a conflict; moving a block across a daylight-saving transition retains its intended duration. Repeat the workflow after restart and with a denied permission or unavailable dependency; show recoverable failure rather than a success placeholder. ## Paid-product capabilities outside this build - multiple calendar providers, task integrations, mobile apps, and sync reliability - perfect mobile sync - calendar and email integrations - shared workspaces - behavioral coaching polish ## Implementation prompt WORKING SLICE Combine events from one supported calendar account with a task inbox, drag work into time blocks and show two selected timezones.

Project rule — data model: calendar connections, provider event IDs, tasks, planned blocks, timezones and conflict-resolution records Project rule — preserve this invariant: User-owned event edits are conditional on provider revisions; moving a task block cannot overwrite an unrelated calendar event. Project rule — acceptance evidence: A provider edit between fetch and save raises a conflict; moving a block across a daylight-saving transition retains its intended duration. ## Completion evidence Demonstrate the prompt's acceptance scenarios against the scoped workflow. Include setup from a clean checkout and failure recovery. Check persistence across restart and export/restore only for the state the prompt says to store; for memory-only tools, confirm that temporary content is discarded as specified. Record actual results and remaining limitations. A detailed plan alone does not establish a working replacement.
