Event Agency Skills

Event production runs on 47 email threads, 12 vendor deadlines, and one coordinator who remembers everything. We replaced the remembering part.

Open-source AI skills for live event production — inbox triage, vendor escalation, speaker wrangling, budget tracking, and post-event reporting. Built by TalkValue, tested on real conferences, trade shows, and galas.

Usage with Claude Code

Every skill includes a SKILL.md file. The recommended path is to install all 7 skills as a Claude Code plugin via the marketplace:

1. Register the marketplace:

/plugin marketplace add talkvalue/event-agency-skills

2. Install the plugin from this marketplace:

/plugin install event-agency-skills@event-agency-skills

Or drop a single skill into your project:

cp -r skills/inbox-digest/ your-project/.claude/skills/

Ask Claude "Triage my event inbox and flag stale vendor threads" — it classifies by stakeholder type, applies phase-aware urgency, and generates a prioritized digest.

Why Event-Specific

Generic AI doesn't know that a venue COI revision at T-3 outranks a sponsor logo submission at T-21. These skills do, because they encode the production logic that event coordinators carry in their heads:

• Inbox Digest classifies emails by 6 stakeholder types and applies temporal overrides — a vendor email that's Tier 2 at T-30 automatically becomes Tier 1 at T-7 when the event is a week away
• Vendor Tracker has phase-aware urgency thresholds: 48h response window during planning, 12h during advance week, 2h on load-in day — and enforces "phone call, not email" on show day
• Cold Outreach builds role-specific angles for 5 prospect types (buyer/sponsor/speaker/vendor/media) with a quality checker that catches the 24 most common AI slop phrases across a 4-touch sequence
• Budget Tracker applies category-aware variance thresholds — Venue alerts at 5% because it's the largest line item, Marketing at 15% because it's the most flexible — then diagnoses why each variance occurred
• Speaker Management bans "thought leader," "passionate about," and 11 other fluff words — and enforces the rule that a 25-word emcee intro must be speakable out loud without stumbling
