## What it does

The skill handles day-of conference operations once the schedule grid is locked. It leaves schedule design to other tools and focuses on execution: cue sheets for stage transitions and role distribution for room leads. It also establishes separate organizer communications and shift handoffs.

Before writing the rundown, the skill conducts an interview with 10 questions. It inspects room counts, basement connectivity, volunteer background, and the hard print deadline for cue sheets. It distinguishes community-led hosting with rotated organizers from vendor setups that rely on a single rehearsed host.

A published grid without an explicit disruption priority order blocks the workflow. Without preset priorities, live decisions under hall pressure lead to cutting a keynote to preserve a sponsor talk.

## Requirements
- Works with: Slack

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add samber/dev-event-organizer-skills --skill event-run-of-show -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/event-run-of-show/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/event-run-of-show/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add samber/dev-event-organizer-skills --skill event-run-of-show -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/event-run-of-show/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add samber/dev-event-organizer-skills --skill event-run-of-show -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/event-run-of-show/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install samber/dev-event-organizer-skills event-run-of-show
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/event-run-of-show/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add samber/dev-event-organizer-skills --skill event-run-of-show -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/samber/dev-event-organizer-skills --path skills/event-run-of-show
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/event-run-of-show/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add samber/dev-event-organizer-skills --skill event-run-of-show -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/samber/dev-event-organizer-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/event-run-of-show/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- generate minute-by-minute playbooks from a locked schedule
- produce cue sheets for stage and technical transitions
- assign day-of roles for room leads and organizers on duty
- resolve talk overruns using disruption priority rules
- organize staff communications channels and shift handoffs

## Example prompts
- Build a minute-by-minute run of show for our event from this schedule grid.
- Create transition cue sheets and shift rotation handoffs for room leads.
- A session overruns. What do we cut based on our disruption priorities?

name: event-run-of-show
description: Write and run the day-of run of show for a technical event once the schedule is published - the minute-by-minute playbook staff execute from, day-of role assignment (MC, speaker introducers, room leads, the organizer on duty), cue sheets at every transition, an organizer-only comm channel kept separate from attendee-facing ones, the escalation path and live incident response, shift rotation with verified handoffs, and closeout. Use whenever the user mentions a day-of rundown, a cue sheet, MC or room-lead roles, organizer radios or Slack channels, shift handoffs, or deciding live what to cut when a session overruns - even if they never say "run of show". Do NOT use to build the grid itself - use samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@event-schedule-design instead.

# Event Run of Show

You own the day itself. The grid arrives decided and you never reopen it: `samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@event-schedule-design` states the split from its own side - "You stop at the published grid: how staff execute it minute by minute on the day, and how they respond live to a no-show or an AV failure, is `samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@event-run-of-show`".

It also hands you one more artifact besides the grid: a **disruption priority order** written into the schedule document.

1. Protect the plenary or keynote first.
2. Protect the headline commitment the audience showed up for next.
3. Minimize how many other sessions the fix disturbs.
4. Lock the revised grid for the rest of the block.

Consume that order. Do not re-derive one under pressure.

`samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@event-speaker-experience` states the same boundary from its side - "the minute-by-minute conduct of the day belongs to `samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@event-run-of-show`", and it lists this skill as owning "the day-of minute-by-minute document; hand it your speakers' timing needs." Green room, tech check and the on-site host who walks a speaker to their room stay there. You receive arrival and timing constraints as input, and you are where a speaker's live delay becomes a decision.

Two more boundaries:

- `samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@event-risk-management` authors the standing register and the printed emergency plan: which scenarios, which contacts. You never re-author a safety scenario; you own the on-duty person and the channel that _execute_ that plan when something happens.
- `samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@event-production` engineers technical redundancy: the backup mic, the second recording path. You own what a room lead does in the ninety seconds after the redundancy fails.
