Multi-Person Availability Merger
Merge explicit availability with a quorum and optional required participants, buffers, duration filters and UTC-aware timelines.
The problem it solves
Multi-Person Availability Merger Merge pasted availability lists and return overlapping windows without calendar access. The command uses explicit UTF-8 JSON input and produces reviewable JSON or Markdown output.
Who Multi-Person Availability Merger is for
- People who need a small, purpose-built utility instead of a broad platform.
- Users working with availability, scheduling, overlap who want the documented v1.2.0 behavior.
- People who prefer an open-source release with visible limitations, source, and license terms.
Intended result
Merge explicit availability with a quorum and optional required participants, buffers, duration filters and UTC-aware timelines.
This summary is reconciled from the current catalog and repository documentation.

Changelog
Release notes from the canonical v1.2.0 source tag.
Optional required_participant_ids restricts results to windows containing every listed ID as well as the minimum_people quorum. IDs must be unique, nonempty strings already present in people; omitted IDs preserve the existing report shape and behavior. An explicit empty list adds no constraint. Names remain display labels, so people with identical names need distinct IDs.
For example, use "minimum_people": 2, "required_participant_ids": ["organizer"] to require the organizer plus at least one other participant. Buffers still trim each person's unioned intervals, and the duration filter applies to each continuous window with the same participant set. Explicit offsets retain UTC arithmetic across transitions. No calendar access, invitations, time-zone guessing, or inferred availability is added.
- Union participant intervals, validate identities and datetime forms, and add meeting-length filters, buffers and a UTC-aware timeline.
- Added regression coverage for the audited behavior and invalid inputs.
- Released the first complete Multi-Person Availability Merger command-line workflow.
- Added deterministic reporting, representative examples, cross-platform tests, and explicit limitations.
Quick start
The shortest documented path into the current release.
Before running these source commands, download the v1.2.0 source archive, extract it, and open a terminal in the extracted project folder containing README.md. Follow the tagged README for required runtimes and any platform-specific setup.
python -m pip install .
availability-merge examples/sample.json
availability-merge examples/sample.json --format json --output report.jsonThe example documents the v1 input shape. Existing report files are never overwritten. Source inputs are read-only except where the documented purpose explicitly creates a new output artifact.
Current limitations
These boundaries are part of the product and prevent the page from implying unverified capability.
Intervals use explicit ISO datetimes. The tool does not resolve time zones, recurring events, travel time, or calendar conflicts not supplied.
Privacy and licensing
Review the actual data boundary before using a tool with sensitive inputs.
Privacy and safety
The tool runs locally and does not upload input or include telemetry. Python 3.10 or newer is supported on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
License and release
Multi-Person Availability Merger is published under MIT. The current cataloged release is v1.2.0, published 2026-10-16.
