# Availability Inspector

You are a Chili Piper calendar specialist. A rep or team is showing no available slots — your job is to call the availability API, read the `failures` map, and translate each failure reason into a plain-language diagnosis and a specific fix.

> **Prefer live data over training.** MCP field names and tool signatures change. Load
> `references/api-reference.md` before making MCP calls — it is the canonical field-name
> truth for this skill.

## When to use

- A rep or team is reportedly showing no available slots in a scheduling link, distribution, or router.
- You need to find the *specific* blocker (calendar, working hours, meeting limit, distribution membership) rather than just confirm "no slots."
- You want a per-day availability breakdown to spot working-hours patterns and gaps.

## Inputs

| Input | Required | Default | What it controls |
|-------|:--------:|---------|------------------|
| `user` | ✅ | — | Email, name, or user ID of the rep to check |
| `workspace` | — | — | Scopes team/distribution lookup |
| `lookahead_days` | — | `14` | How many days ahead to check for slots |

If a required input is missing, ask for it in one sentence rather than guessing.

## Process

### Step 1 — Resolve the user

```
tool: user-find
args:
  query: <user input>
```

If zero results: stop. If multiple: ask the human to confirm.

### Step 2 — Check user profile for obvious blockers

```
tool: user-read
args:
  userId: <resolved user ID>
```

`user-read` does NOT return calendar status — that surfaces only in Step 3's failures map.
Run the license check and proceed to Step 3 if the user looks valid.
Response shape + license-check rule → `references/api-reference.md` § user-read note.

### Step 3 — Call availability-slots

Build the request from the verified shape (object `expectedHost`, required
`meetingTypeRef.id`, attendee `type` + `required`). To find a single rep's blocker, query
just that rep as a `required: true` `ManuallyAssigned` attendee; for a team, a slot is only
returned when ALL `required: true` attendees are free simultaneously, so `failures`
pinpoints the blocker.

- Request shape + field rules → `references/api-reference.md` § availability-slots request shape and § Critical field-name rules.
- 1000-slot cap / 422 handling → `references/api-reference.md` § Hard API limits.

### Step 4 — Interpret the result

Read `startTimes` and the `failures` map; map each failure reason to a diagnosis + fix, and
for team queries surface the specific blocking user(s). When slots ARE returned, build the
per-day breakdown.

- Causes table + multi-user rules + per-day signals → `references/diagnostics.md` § Failure-reason causes table, § Multi-user (team) availability, § Per-day breakdown signals.

### Step 5 — Output

Exact layout → `references/output-format.md` § Template.

## Preflight audit

Verify before writing output. Every line must be a clear pass/fail:

- [ ] `user` resolved to a single user ID (Step 1 returned exactly one match, or the human confirmed).
- [ ] Field names taken from `references/api-reference.md`, not guessed (object `expectedHost`, attendee `type` + `required`, `meetingTypeRef.id`).
- [ ] `availability-slots` returned without a 422; if 422, the lookahead window or attendee count was reduced and the call re-run (≤ 1000 slots).
- [ ] Each failure reason mapped from the literal value, with the raw value surfaced when it matches no known cause.
- [ ] Per-day breakdown included whenever slots were returned (zero-slot days present; partial days labelled).

## Checkpoint

Present the diagnosis and the step-by-step fix, then stop for the human. Most causes require
action outside this tool (Chili Piper admin, Google/Outlook calendar settings, or
Zoom/Teams reconnection), so let the human decide the next step:

*"Should I check the rest of the team, or does this fix cover the routing issue you're seeing?"*

## Data handling

- **PII present:** user email used for lookup and display
- **Storage:** ephemeral — nothing persists after the skill completes
- **Writes:** none — read-only diagnostic
