Calendar Scheduling Skill
Parsing a Visual Calendar
When reading a calendar PDF image:
- Each horizontal dashed line = 15 minutes
- Identify block colors:
- Dark gray = Out of office (hard block, unavailable)
- Salmon/pink-red = Busy (hard block, unavailable)
- Blue/purple = Low priority task (soft block, treat as AVAILABLE/overwritable)
- Lime/yellow-green = Other appointment (hard block, unavailable)
- Note the calendar's timezone (shown in the header)
Extracting Block Times
Count horizontal lines from the nearest hour label to determine start/end:
- 1 line = 15 min, 2 lines = 30 min, 3 lines = 45 min, 4 lines = 1 hour
Finding Available Slots
- List all hard-blocked time ranges
- Treat blue blocks as free
- For each meeting request, find the earliest slot within the requester's availability window that doesn't conflict with hard blocks or already-assigned meetings
- Process requests to maximize accommodation of all meetings ("all requests can be accommodated")
Conflict Resolution
When multiple requests compete for the same time:
- Assign in the order that allows ALL requests to be accommodated
- Each meeting should get the earliest possible slot
- If assigning earlier slots to later requests would block earlier requests, adjust to find globally optimal assignment
