What is wrong with the G76 threading cycle? It is really just a macro embedded in the machine controller system. You have to enter parameters related to your desired thread just the same as you would need for any other macro.

looking to write a macro for lathe to cut any thread wondered if there was one already out there

An open mind is a virtue...so long as all the common sense has not leaked out.
this macro would be for multiple or single lead threading for people who have little to no programming experience. and it would be that much faster for me
If they have little or no programming experience how can you trust them to enter the correct values into a macro?

comments next to the variables that need to be defined
Comments can be added to G76 block also.
The most important thing is that no-one can possibly write macros incorporating full functionality of such a canned cycle, in a reasonable time frame.
No wonder these are options, sometimes.
G76 can be used for multi-start threads also. The trick is to axially shift the start point of the next helix by pitch distance. F-word would be lead.
