The exact prompt
Paste this into a new routine.
Plan my weekend. Look at my Google Calendar so you know what's already booked, then suggest a few activities that fit my interests (hiking, good food, live music) and the open time I have. For each idea give me what it is, roughly when it fits, and why I'd enjoy it. Keep it relaxed, not an over-scheduled itinerary.
Set the schedule. Keep the default Friday 4:00 PM so the plan lands before the weekend starts. cron: 0 16 * * 5

FAQ
Questions about this recipe.
Why does Weekend Planner connect to my calendar?
So it can plan around what's already booked and only suggest things that fit your open time. It reads your events, it doesn't change them.
Can I use it without connecting a calendar?
Yes. Without a calendar it still suggests activities from your interests, it just won't schedule around existing events.
How does it know my interests?
From the prompt, and from your local memory if you've saved preferences there. Edit the prompt to steer the kind of weekend you want.
Is my plan kept private?
It runs on your Mac and saves locally. Your calendar details go to the AI to build the plan, either through Routines AI, which keeps neither the prompt nor the answer, or straight to your provider on your own key.
