## What it does

Home Maintenance Calendar keeps the boring-but-important jobs from slipping. Tell it your home type, your climate and what you have, such as a furnace, a water heater, gutters or a car, and it builds a schedule of recurring and seasonal tasks. On the 1st of each month you get a short checklist of what's due, why it matters and how long it takes, with safety checks at the top. Say 'done' and it logs the date and rolls the next one forward. Calendar reminders are added only when you approve them.

## What you get

- A monthly checklist, safety jobs first
- Why each job matters and how long it takes
- Seasonal jobs timed to your climate
- Overdue jobs carried forward until done
- Optional calendar reminders you approve

## Data it uses

- Assistant memory (your home profile and task log)
- Web search (climate and manufacturer intervals) (optional)
- Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar (optional)

## Safety

- Writes or sends: Read-only unless you approve calendar reminders.
- Reads: Your home and vehicle profile and task log (kept in memory)
- Reads: Public climate and manufacturer maintenance guidance
- Reads: Calendar write access, only for reminders you approve
- Cost: Low: one run a month.
- Warning: Never buys, pays, cancels, returns or sends anything without your explicit OK for that item.
- Warning: General upkeep guidance, not a professional inspection. For gas, electrical or structural problems, call a licensed pro.
- Warning: It never books contractors or buys parts.

5. The routine shows in the Bot's info pane (click the Bot's name in the chat header) under Routines, where you can pause or edit it.

### Muse

1. Copy skills/home-maintenance-calendar/SKILL.md.
2. Open Muse and paste the prompt below with the file where it says.
3. Try it: "Run Home Maintenance Calendar." Muse has no skill install for outside skills, so it follows the pasted instructions.
4. Ask Muse to make it a recurring task on the 1st of every month at 9:00 AM. It then shows under the Assistant icon > Upcoming.
5. Muse Code (developer CLI): unzip downloads/home-maintenance-calendar.zip, run `muse skills validate ./home-maintenance-calendar` then `muse skills install ./home-maintenance-calendar --scope user`. Optional: add the BotPlaza connector (https://botplaza.lol/api/mcp) under mcpServers in ~/.config/muse/settings.json.

Note: Recurring tasks and Muse Code skill install are documented by Meta. Installing outside skills in the Muse app is not.

### Dots

2. Paste the prompt below into your dot's conversation in ChatGPT, with the file where it says.
3. Wait for the dot to confirm the schedule, time zone and end date.
4. Optional: in ChatGPT, Plugins > + > Add custom MCP server with https://botplaza.lol/api/mcp (no authentication). Dots can use installed plugins, but OpenAI hasn't said whether that includes custom ones.
5. Business, Enterprise, Healthcare and Edu workspaces can also upload downloads/home-maintenance-calendar.zip under Plugins > Skills > Create > Upload from your computer.

Note: Dots are available on ChatGPT Pro, Business Premium and Enterprise, and are still rolling out. Pasting instructions in and scheduled check-ins are documented.
