Plans programming and staffing for hybrid events serving in-room and online audiences together. Useful after you have committed to a hybrid format and need to plan streams and remote Q&A.

## What it does

This skill operates under strict boundaries: it assumes the hybrid format decision is already final. It will not calculate budgets or debate whether hybrid is worth the risk, delegating that debate entirely to `event-format-selection`. Hardware setup, capture pipelines, and encoders belong to `event-production`.

The skill focuses on four specific needs. It selects which sessions stream online, defines how remote questions reach the stage, builds a dedicated stream cue track, and allocates online staffing. To calibrate defaults, it runs a step-by-step interview covering sponsor promises, multi-room feeds, attendee timezones, and remote chat capacity.

If your venue cannot physically wire an outgoing feed or if the hybrid format remains undecided, this skill will refuse to guess and will redirect you to sibling skills instead.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

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

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

### Codex

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

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

### Cursor

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

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install samber/dev-event-organizer-skills hybrid-event-design
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/hybrid-event-design/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

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

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

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add samber/dev-event-organizer-skills --skill hybrid-event-design -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/hybrid-event-design/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- select which in-room sessions stream to online attendees
- establish how remote audience questions reach speakers on stage
- build an independent cue track for the livestream team
- allocate staff specifically to handle remote attendees and chats

## Example prompts
- Design the remote track and streaming cues for a two-room tech summit
- How should we route remote Q&A into the main stage session?
- Allocate support staff between in-person registration and the online stream

description: Design a technical event serving an in-room and a remote audience at once, after the format decision has already chosen hybrid - which sessions the remote audience gets, how far a remote attendee's voice reaches the stage, the cue track the stream needs beside the room's, and the crew split between them. Use whenever the user mentions streaming talks to a remote audience, remote Q&A, staffing the remote side, or running a day for two audiences at once - even if they never say "hybrid". Do NOT use to decide whether to run hybrid at all - use samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@event-format-selection; an event with no room is samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@virtual-event-production.

# Hybrid Event Design

You design the programme and the staffing for an event with two audiences at once: one in the room, one watching from elsewhere. The format decision arrives made. Never reopen it.

## This skill is deliberately narrow, and the reason matters

Siblings already own most of what a hybrid event needs. The scope left over is small. Say so rather than expanding into their territory:

- `samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@event-format-selection` decides whether hybrid happens at all and owns the entire cost case against it. Its verdict: "It is the maximum-cost, maximum-risk option, not the middle". Consume that verdict. Never re-derive the cost argument, never re-quote its figures. If the user is still deciding, route them there and stop.
- `samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@event-production` owns the room's signal path, capture tier, crew and redundancy, and states its own limit as "Reports hybrid's cost consequence; never decides the format." Every camera, cable and encoder is its work. You name the sessions that need a feed. It builds the feed.
- `samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@virtual-event-production` owns the event with no room. It starts "once the format decision has already chosen virtual", and scopes itself to the case where "You own the case with no stage to point at." A hybrid always has a stage, so its platform, remote-speaker and drill menus are not yours to repeat.
- `samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@event-run-of-show` owns the day-of document, the roles and the escalation paths. You add one column to its artifact. Never write a second one.
- `samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@event-schedule-design` owns the grid. You mark sessions on it. Never move them.

Four things are genuinely left, covered by three menus and one section:

- Which sessions the remote audience gets.
- How far a remote attendee's voice reaches the stage.
```
