What it does
Event Hosting is an agent skill from shawnpang/startup-founder-skills. When the user wants to host a tech event, meetup, workshop, or community gathering — especially using Luma. Also use when the user mentions "host an event", "meetup", "workshop", "Luma event", or "community event".
Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: AI agent skills for tech startup founders — fundraising, sales, product, recruiting, engineering, legal, ops, and growth. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and any Agent… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Wants to host a tech event
- Community gathering — especially using Luma
- The user mentions host an event
- Community event
Example prompts
- “host an event”
- “meetup”
- “workshop”
- “/event-hosting”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Define the event concept — clarify
- Write the event page — create copy for Luma (lu.ma) or similar platform
- Plan the run of show — minute-by-minute agenda
- Build the promotion plan — how to fill seats
- Prepare follow-up — plan what happens after the event
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4ad31b4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Event Hosting loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 691 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Event Hosting
When to Use
- Founder wants to host a meetup, workshop, demo day, or community event
- Founder wants to use events to build pipeline, recruit, or establish thought leadership
- Founder wants to create a Luma event page with compelling copy
- Founder wants to plan a recurring event series to build community around their product or space
Context Required
- Event goal (lead generation, community building, recruiting, brand awareness, product feedback)
- Target audience (developers, founders, enterprise buyers, designers, etc.)
- Format (in-person, virtual, hybrid)
- Topic/theme and any confirmed speakers
- Capacity and venue (or virtual platform)
- Budget (many founder-hosted events are $0-500)
Workflow
- Define the event concept — clarify:
- Goal: what success looks like (X attendees, Y leads, Z brand impressions)
- Format: panel, workshop, demo night, fireside chat, networking, hackathon
- Audience: who should attend and why they'd show up
- Value prop for attendees: what they'll learn, who they'll meet, or what they'll get
- Write the event page — create copy for Luma (lu.ma) or similar platform:
- Title: specific and compelling (not "Tech Meetup #4" — instead "How 5 YC Founders Got Their First 100 Customers")
- Description: problem/hook → what you'll cover → who should attend → speaker bios → logistics
- Image/banner: recommend dimensions and style (Luma: 1600x900px)
- Plan the run of show — minute-by-minute agenda:
- Doors/login open (15 min buffer)
- Welcome and context (5 min — who you are, why this event exists)
- Main content (30-45 min — talks, panels, demos)
- Q&A or discussion (15 min)
- Networking / unstructured time (30 min for in-person)
- Close and next steps
- Build the promotion plan — how to fill seats:
- Post on relevant communities (use
community-discovery) - Personal outreach to 20-30 "anchor attendees" who make the event worth attending
- Cross-promotion with speakers' audiences
- LinkedIn/X posts from founder personal account
- Luma's built-in invite and reminder features
- Post on relevant communities (use
- Prepare follow-up — plan what happens after the event:
- Thank-you message to attendees (same day)
- Share recording/slides (if applicable)
- Connect with high-value attendees individually
- Announce next event (if recurring)

Frameworks & Best Practices
Event formats that work for startups:
| Format | Best For | Typical Size | Effort |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fireside chat | Thought leadership, intimate discussion | 20-50 | Low |
| Panel | Diverse perspectives, networking draw | 30-100 | Medium |
| Workshop | Teaching, product education, lead gen | 15-30 | Medium |
| Demo night | Showcasing products, community building | 30-80 | Medium |
| Hackathon | Developer community, product feedback | 20-100 | High |
| Dinner / small gathering | Investor/executive networking | 8-15 | Low (but high cost) |
Luma-specific tips:
- Use the "Require Approval" feature to curate attendees (quality > quantity)
- Enable "Ask a Question" during registration to qualify attendees
- Set up co-hosts so speakers can also invite their networks
- Use Luma's calendar subscription feature for recurring events
- Luma's built-in reminder emails have high open rates — don't duplicate with external email
The 40% rule: Expect 40-60% of RSVPs to actually attend for free events. For paid events, expect 80-90%. Overbook accordingly.
Making events a growth channel:
- Host monthly, not "whenever" — consistency builds an audience that returns
- Each event should have a natural next step (join our community, try the product, attend the next event)
- Record everything — one event becomes 5-10 pieces of content
- The best events are conversations, not presentations — leave 30%+ of time unstructured
Common mistakes:
- Making it about your product instead of your audience's interests
- Inviting everyone instead of curating for quality
- No follow-up after the event (the event is the beginning, not the end)
- Over-programming — leave room for serendipity and networking
- Not starting the series until everything is "perfect" — first event can be 15 people in a coffee shop
