Skills List
tech-talk-outline
Turns an accepted conference talk abstract into a rehearsable outline - the one-sentence takeaway, a narrative arc, a minute-by-minute time budget, demo placement, and a slide skeleton with cut checkpoints. Use whenever someone says "talk outline", "technical talk structure", "slide skeleton", "my talk got accepted, now what", "how do I structure this conference talk", "my talk runs over time", "what do I cut from my talk", or "where should the demo go" - even if they only say they are preparing a conference session. Structures what the talk says. Not the CFP abstract - use samber/developer-relations-skills@conference-cfp-submission. Not slide files, not stage-delivery coaching.
sambercoding-agent-docs-optimization
Makes SDK, API or protocol documentation something a coding agent can integrate from unattended - crawler access, machine-readable entry points (llms.txt, markdown endpoints, OpenAPI and JSON Schema files), self-contained copy-paste-safe pages, and a measured first-attempt agent success rate. Use whenever the user mentions agent-readable or AI-ready docs, agent experience or AX, llms.txt or llms-full.txt, docs for coding agents, agents inventing API calls that do not exist, or asks whether an agent could wire up their SDK from the docs alone - even if they never say "agent". Not for AI-search citation, nor a repo's own contributor-facing agent instructions. For human docs architecture use samber/developer-relations-skills@developer-docs-structure-audit.
sambertech-press-relations
Runs press and light analyst relations for a developer-facing product - news qualification, the angle, a reporter-to-beat media map, the pitch, embargo and exclusive handling, the press page and briefing pack, and what coverage is honestly worth. Use whenever someone raises tech press relations, getting press coverage, pitching a journalist, a tech media pitch, building a media list, a press kit, an embargo briefing, announcing a funding round, a launch coverage plan, an analyst briefing, or "how do we get written about" - even if they only say they want to be in the news. Nothing to do with pull requests. Not the announcement post itself - use samber/developer-relations-skills@engineering-blog-post.
sambertech-podcast-interview-prep
Prepares a guest for someone else's technical podcast, YouTube interview, livestream or panel - show reconnaissance, the angle, an ABT message spine backed by evidence and stories, a self-contained opening answer, clip-safe sound bites, depth calibration, recording-day mechanics, and the post-publication promotion loop. Use whenever someone says "podcast guest prep", "I'm going on a podcast next week", "youtube interview prep", "devrel media training", "prep my talking points", "sound bites", "I'm on a panel", or "what do I say when they ask about competitors" - even if they only mention an upcoming recording. Not running your own show - use samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@tech-podcast-youtube-channel.
sambertech-employer-branding
Designs an employer-brand strategy for attracting software engineers - the engineering EVP, the channel plan (engineering blog, OSS presence, referrals, conference talks, compensation-transparency artifacts), a verification-surface audit (employer-review sites, compensation databases, anonymous forums), and the measurement baseline. Use whenever someone raises "engineering employer brand", "why can't we attract engineers", "developer hiring content strategy", "should we publish salary bands", "tech recruiting brand", or engineering offer-acceptance dropping - even if they frame it as a recruiting problem. Covers early-stage through big-company stages, junior through staff-level targeting. Not DevRel program strategy - use samber/developer-relations-skills@devrel-strategy.
samberchangelog-writing
Turns raw commits, pull requests and tickets into release notes developers actually read - a scannable record of what shipped, what it means in practice, and what breaks. Use whenever the user mentions a changelog, CHANGELOG.md, release notes, a GitHub release body for a tag, a hosted "what's new" page, app-store release notes, Keep a Changelog, or Common Changelog, or asks what to write for a release they just cut - even when the commit history is messy and follows no commit convention. Not for version bumping, tagging or publishing pipelines. Do NOT use for a full breaking-change upgrade guide - use samber/developer-relations-skills@version-migration-guide; for a narrative release post use samber/developer-relations-skills@engineering-blog-post.
sambeross-sponsors-fundraising
Designs a maintainer-side open-source sponsorship program - the tier ladder and its pricing for individual and corporate sponsors, rewards that stay deliverable at ten times the sponsor count, funding-goal and sustainability framing, and the invoice-and-entity path a company needs before it can pay. Use whenever a maintainer asks how to get sponsors or funding for a project, sets up or fixes GitHub Sponsors, Open Collective or FUNDING.yml, writes sponsor tiers, rewards or a sponsorship page, wonders why nobody sponsors a widely used project, considers sponsorware, or wants a company to fund maintenance work - even if they only say the project is unsustainable. Not the company side - use samber/developer-relations-skills@oss-sponsors-brand-strategy.
samberapp-marketplace-monetization-model
Design how a B2B SaaS app/connector marketplace makes money, operator side - merchant-of-record posture (marketplace-billed vs developer-billed), billing rails and account configuration, the fee stack (revenue share collected at source, program fees, processing pass-through), fee waivers and incentive tiers, payout cadence and hold windows, and the marketplace-facilitator/VAT tax layer. Use whenever the user mentions charging for apps, rev-share collection, paid-app billing or billing APIs, developer payouts, fee waivers, or merchant of record - even if they never say "marketplace monetization". Mechanics layer only. Do NOT use for take-rate level and tiers - use samber/developer-platform-skills@connector-marketplace-strategy instead.
samberconnector-marketplace-strategy
Decide whether and when a SaaS should build its own app/connector marketplace, versus joining others' marketplaces or buying embedded iPaaS, and design its operating model - curation level, partner mix, governance rules, take-rate, and seeding sequence. Use whenever the user mentions building an app store or integration marketplace, ecosystem readiness, marketplace revenue share or take-rate, curated vs open admission, third-party app governance, or seeding a two-sided developer ecosystem - even if they never say "marketplace strategy". Strategy layer only. Do NOT use for billing and payout mechanics (samber/developer-platform-skills@app-marketplace-monetization-model) or for being a connector on others' data platforms (samber/developer-platform-skills@etl-connector-strategy).
samberintegration-listing-optimization
Optimize a B2B SaaS vendor's own listing on a third-party app marketplace - Salesforce AppExchange, HubSpot, Atlassian Marketplace, Shopify App Store, Slack, or comparable directories. Covers the view-to-install funnel, keyword placement in title and tagline, screenshot and demo-video ordering, category choice, compliant review-velocity programs (incentivized reviews are banned everywhere), badge pursuit ranked by confirmed ranking effect, and defending rank against listing decay. Use whenever the user mentions AppExchange, marketplace listing conversion, marketplace search rank, app installs, or app reviews - even if they never say "listing optimization". Do NOT use for the operator's own rulebook - use samber/developer-platform-skills@app-marketplace-listing-standards instead.
samberevent-debrief
Run the organizing team's own internal retrospective on one finished edition of a technical event - the blameless frame, the reconstructed timeline, what went well split from what went poorly, what fired reconciled against the risk register, budget plan and run of show, team-health findings, and dated lessons-learned entries each carrying an owner and a due date. Use whenever asked to run a post-event debrief, a post-mortem or a retrospective after a conference, meetup or hackathon, review an edition against the goals the team set, build a lessons-learned log, or publish a public recap. Do NOT use to collect participant feedback - use samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@event-feedback - or for trends across editions - use samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@event-continuous-improvement.
samberevent-sponsor-pricing
Build the sponsorship rate card for a technical event - the revenue target taken from the budget, an inventory of sellable surfaces, cost-recovery, market-comp and value-based price setting, a 2-4 tier ladder with anchoring and a sane top-to-floor ratio, add-on and exclusivity premiums, in-kind valuation, and the discount and negotiation policy written before the first sponsor call. Use whenever the user mentions sponsorship tier prices, a sponsor rate card, sponsor package pricing, or choosing between a published ladder, quote-gated pricing and no ladder at all - even if they never say "pricing". Do NOT use for attendee ticket prices - use samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@event-ticket-pricing; the deck is samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@event-sponsor-prospectus.
samberdev-event-kickoff
Before answering any event-organizing request that opens a new project or a new session, run this router first - it maps the task onto the 71-skill samber/dev-event-organizer-skills collection, or says plainly that none fits, and bootstraps or resumes the project's shared context so the next session starts warm. This fires on a conversational state, not on a subject - invoke it at every event project start even when the collection's skills are already in daily use on another event, at every recurring check-in on the same project, and whenever routing between siblings is unclear. Covers conference, meetup and hackathon kickoffs, "which event skill do I need", "where do I start organizing this event", event organizer skill routing, and recurring event check-ins. Use this whenever someone describes an event-organizing problem without naming a skill, even if they never say "kickoff", "routing" or "start".
samber
paperclip
Interact with the Paperclip control plane API to manage tasks, coordinate with other agents, and follow company governance. Use when you need to check assignments, update task status, delegate work, post comments, set up or manage routines (recurring scheduled tasks), or call any Paperclip API endpoint. Do NOT use for the actual domain work itself (writing code, research, etc.) — only for Paperclip coordination.
getpaperclipaipara-memory-files
File-based memory system using Tiago Forte's PARA method. Use this skill whenever you need to store, retrieve, update, or organize knowledge across sessions. Covers three memory layers: (1) Knowledge graph in PARA folders with atomic YAML facts, (2) Daily notes as raw timeline, (3) Tacit knowledge about user patterns. Also handles planning files, memory decay, weekly synthesis, and recall via qmd. Trigger on any memory operation: saving facts, writing daily notes, creating entities, running weekly synthesis, recalling past context, or managing plans.
getpaperclipaipaperclip-board
Manage a Paperclip company as a board member via chat. Covers onboarding (company creation, CEO setup, hiring plans), agent management, approvals, task monitoring, cost oversight, and work product review. Use this skill whenever the user wants to interact with their Paperclip control plane. Do NOT use for installing or bootstrapping the Paperclip server itself — use the `paperclip` skill's `references/setup-installation.md` instead.
getpaperclipai
