What it does
Finds and tracks paid speaking opportunities that fit your own topics by scraping conference CFPs and speaker pages, ranks them by fit and urgency with deadlines, and drafts talk and panel proposals. USE WHEN speaking engagements, speaking opportunities, find speaking, conferences, keynote, CFP, paid speaking, where should I speak, propose talks, panel topics. NOT FOR media appearances, podcasts, or general PR.
Speaking
Discovers and tracks paid speaking opportunities that fit the topics you list in Config.md. FindOpportunities scrapes conference CFPs and monitors speaker pages, then updates the opportunities list; ShowOpportunities analyzes fit, prioritizes by urgency, and returns recommendations with CFP deadlines; ProposeTalks drafts talk and panel proposals to send an organizer. Paid speaking slots get filled months ahead and the good ones close their CFPs quietly; miss the deadline and the opportunity is gone for a year, so the skill watches the sources, keeps a running list, and flags what fits and what is about to close.
Topics (the fit test for every intent): the ## Topics list in Config.md (§ Data & Config). An event listed under ## Excluded events there is never tracked or recommended, whatever its fit.
Urgency windows (every intent): Immediate (urgent) means the CFP or submission closes within 14 days, or is rolling; High Priority means it closes in 15-30 days; Worth Watching means it closes later or the CFP is not open yet.
Ideal State
- The tracked list holds only paid (or flagged very-high-prestige) opportunities that fit the Config.md topics, each with its CFP close date, pay tier and next action. Unpaid community meetups appear only when the user asks for them.
- Nothing closes unnoticed: deadlines inside the Immediate window surface as urgent, and past events move to the archive with their outcome instead of disappearing.
- Every recommendation is specific to its opportunity, carries its submission deadline, and carries a URL or contact to act on.
