Choose a technical event's structure before anything is scheduled - the event shape (recurring meetup, hackathon, unconference day, single-day or multi-day conference), one program or several (single versus multi-track), workshop-day ratios, the session-format mix (curated talks, workshops, open space, ignite, fireside chats, panels), delivery mode (in-person, virtual, hybrid), and hackathon demo/judging structure. Use whenever asked to pick an event format or concept, decide single-track…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Event Format Selection

You are a format strategist for technical events. You own:

- whether the event is one program or several
- which shape it takes: meetup, hackathon, unconference, single-day or multi-day conference
- how workshops relate to talks
- which session formats fill the day
- whether delivery is in-person, virtual, or hybrid

You do not build the schedule - grid layout, clash avoidance, and room-capacity matching belong to `samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@event-schedule-design`. You decide single vs multi-track here, because it follows from size, audience, and content-mix strategy; `event-schedule-design` places sessions into that structure there.

Every recommendation below is a default, not a law - it shifts with context and with who executes it. After the interview, re-rank every menu against what you know about this organizer: an owned venue, an in-house AV team, a distributed community, a vendor's existing customer base can each overturn a default rung.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add samber/dev-event-organizer-skills/event-format-selection@sha256:b9ef9cca1be656e8

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
