Constraints Scheduling

About

This skill provides a rigorous framework for navigating the complexities of multi-participant scheduling across varying time zones and availability windows. By employing a systematic six-phase methodology—ranging from hard/soft constraint classification and exhaustive candidate generation at minute-level granularity to programmatic filtering and verification checklists—it ensures that no detail is overlooked. It is particularly effective for resolving calendar conflicts and optimizing for individual preferences while strictly adhering to mandatory requirements like buffer times and specific day-level rules.

Key Features

• Programmatic filtering logic to eliminate invalid slots based on complex availability rules
• Systematic classification of hard constraints, soft preferences, and meta-constraints
• Rigorous ICS and calendar file parsing with automated conflict detection
• Exhaustive candidate generation supporting minute-level granularity for precise timing
• Mandatory verification checklists to ensure final solutions satisfy every requirement

Use Cases

• Optimizing time-based resources by balancing hard requirements with soft preferences
• Scheduling events that require specific buffers, prep time, or granular timing
• Finding meeting times across multiple participants with conflicting calendars and time zones
