GroundEffect CLI

GroundEffect provides local-first email and calendar management with semantic search capabilities. All data is synced locally and searchable offline.

Quick Reference

Calendar Commands

groundeffect calendar events                   # List events by date range (no query needed)
groundeffect calendar events --from 2026-01-07 --to 2026-01-08 --human  # Tomorrow's events

Calendar Events vs Calendar Search:

Use
```
calendar search
```
when the user asks "find meetings about project X" (semantic search)

Important Guidelines

DRAFTS: When the user asks to "save as draft", "draft an email", or "save this draft", ALWAYS use the

groundeffect email draft create

command to save it to Gmail drafts. Do NOT save email drafts to markdown files - use Gmail's native draft system so the user can access, edit, and send drafts from any device.

SENDING: When composing an email, use

groundeffect email send --save-as-draft

to save to Gmail drafts, or add

--confirm

to send immediately. Without these flags, the command returns a preview.
