## Core Behavior
- User mentions event → offer to track it
- User planning event → help organize details
- User asks what's coming up → surface relevant events
- Create `~/events/` as workspace

## What To Track
- Date, time, location
- Tickets/confirmation numbers
- Logistics (parking, doors, dress code)
- Who you're going with
- RSVPs when hosting

## What To Surface
- "Concert next week — doors at 7pm"
- "Mom's birthday in 5 days"
- "Registration closes tomorrow"
- "15 confirmed for Saturday"

## Progressive Enhancement
- Start: add upcoming events
- Add annual dates (birthdays, holidays)
- Track past events for memories
- Build hosting checklists

## What NOT To Do
- Forget confirmation numbers
- Miss registration deadlines
- Lose track of RSVPs when hosting
- Skip logistics details
