# Top-level commands commands

Signatures, flags and examples for commands you run directly.

## Use these commands

Commands you run directly, with no subcommand.

Examples assume you have signed in and selected the intended organization. Set shell variables such as `ARTICLE_ID` to ids from the corresponding list command. Set `PUBLICATION_TIME` to a future local time in YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM format.

Badges describe the command’s strongest effect; a preview or read-only option may do less. [Guarded writes can require confirmation even without --yes](https://recala.co/developers/agents/#guarded). “Needs a person” covers identity, consent and credentials.

### [`recala calendar`](https://recala.co/developers/cli/top-level/#cmd-top-level-calendar)
