What it does

Speaking is an agent skill from steipete/agent-scripts. Speaking ops: invites, keynotes, panels, Gmail/calendar, conferences.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Email management. It works with Gmail. The repository describes itself as: Scripts for agents, shared between my repositories. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Email management

Example prompts

  • “/speaking”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Search Gmail for the event name, organizer, contact email, and likely aliases.
  2. Read the full thread, not just snippets.
  3. Check Google Calendar for matching holds/invites.
  4. Treat calendar-only holds as unverified unless email supports them.
  5. Preserve Peter corrections: OMR/ORM is not a commitment; do not mark accepted unless Peter explicitly reverses that.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 79150cf. 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 bash and markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • docs.google.com

    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

Speaking loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 20 tokens; SKILL.md has 476 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~20
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.

Sources

  • Strategy (read first, always): /Users/steipete/Projects/manager/CONFERENCES.md — standing decisions (e.g. no TED, no paid talks), 2027 budget, anchor plan, triage tiers.
  • Repo: /Users/steipete/Projects/conferences
  • Sheet: Peter Steinberger Inbounds
  • Sheet URL: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dNt5EjgfgvPoAx5fa-igk681gniCkzL-IZ2FmjFl8fs/edit?gid=0#gid=0

  • One note per opportunity: /Users/steipete/Projects/conferences/opportunities/NNN-slug.md

Use gog first for Google data when available:

bash
gog gmail search 'speaker OR keynote OR panel OR fireside OR conference OR summit after:2026-01-01' --json --no-input
gog gmail read <thread-or-message-id> --json --no-input
gog calendar events primary --time-min 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z --time-max 2026-12-31T23:59:59Z --json --no-input
gog sheets get 1dNt5EjgfgvPoAx5fa-igk681gniCkzL-IZ2FmjFl8fs 'Invitations!A1:Q110' --json --no-input

Scope

Track:

  • conferences, summits, retreats, keynotes, panels, firesides, workshops, university talks, high-signal private rooms
  • calendar holds that look like speaking commitments
  • email invites where Peter expressed interest, declined, or needs to respond

Do not track in the conference list:

  • podcasts
  • press interviews
  • generic networking dinners without a speaking/event ask
  • vague intro calls with no event or audience

Talks and firesides are welcome. Do not delete them just because they are not classic conferences.

Evaluation

Score with these heuristics:

  • Audience leverage: developers, founders, AI researchers, senior enterprise buyers/advisors, policy/media only if strategic.
  • Role quality: keynote/main stage/fireside > panel > passive attendance.
  • Proof: verified email thread, named organizer, calendar invite, public event page, agenda, attendee size.
  • Fit: OpenClaw, agents, developer tools, AI-native software, open source, founder story, OpenAI-aligned narrative.
  • Logistics: date conflicts, visa, travel, time zone, prep burden, travel/hospitality coverage.
  • Risk: platform politics, employer comms approval, geopolitical/compliance concerns, weak organizer quality.

Priority language:

  • accept: committed or clearly worth doing.
  • strong consider: high value but needs missing logistics/details.
  • review: plausible, needs more info.
  • pass: declined, stale, low leverage, bad fit, or user explicitly said no.

Verification

Before changing status:

  1. Search Gmail for the event name, organizer, contact email, and likely aliases.
  2. Read the full thread, not just snippets.
  3. Check Google Calendar for matching holds/invites.
  4. Treat calendar-only holds as unverified unless email supports them.
  5. Preserve Peter corrections: OMR/ORM is not a commitment; do not mark accepted unless Peter explicitly reverses that.

Useful status meanings:

  • CALENDARED: calendar plus email evidence, or accepted invite.
  • INBOX: needs response or still open.
  • INBOX / CALENDAR HOLD: calendar hold exists, but details still need confirmation.
  • PASS: do not pursue.
  • Done: declined, stale, or already passed.

Repo Notes

Per-opportunity files should stay short and structured:

markdown
# Event Name

- Number: N
- Index: [Conference Opportunities Brief](../conference-opportunities.md)

## Brief

- Date/location:
- Host/ask:
- Format:
- Audience/scale:
- Impact:
- Fit:
- Risks:
- Status:
- Recommendation:
- Sources:

When adding an opportunity:

  1. Pick next number from opportunities/*.md.
  2. Add opportunities/NNN-slug.md.
  3. Add the link to conference-opportunities.md.
  4. Update the shortlist only if it changes prioritization.
  5. Keep podcasts and press out.

Sheet Sync

Use the sheet headers from Invitations!A1:Q1:

Invitation Name, Primary Category, Recommendation, Date, Location, Subcategory, Geography, Recommended Rep, Response Status, Status, Outlet / Event, Contact Name, Contact Email, Topic / Subject, Notes, Source File, From Raw

Sync rules:

  • Main tab should contain conference/speaking opportunities only.
  • Primary Category can remain Conference as the broad bucket, while Subcategory explains keynote/panel/fireside/talk/retreat.
  • Preserve contact names/emails from existing rows when possible.
  • Overwrite stale podcast/press rows if they are present in Invitations.
  • After writing, re-read the range and verify row count plus no podcast/press name hits.

Use gog sheets update ... --values-json for bulk updates. Avoid one-cell micro-edits.
