conference-scheduling-skill

The Conference Scheduling Skill automatically generates optimized conference schedules by assigning talks to time slots and rooms while respecting hard constraints like speaker conflicts, room availability, and track scheduling. It enforces speaker availability windows, prevents simultaneous sessions in the same track, and optimizes educational flow by sequencing talks from beginner to advanced levels. The skill integrates three constraint satisfaction solvers—Timefold (Java), Google OR-Tools (Python), and SolverForge (Python)—producing identical output formats. Event organizers benefit from reduced manual scheduling effort, better resource utilization, and conflict-free schedules generated in minutes rather than hours.

Prepare two CSV files: one defining available time slots and rooms, another listing talks with speaker availability and track information. Copy the desired skill (Timefold, Google OR-Tools, or SolverForge) to ~/.claude/skills/, install dependencies via pip or Maven, then ask Claude Code to schedule your conference. The skill generates both machine-readable CSV and human-readable Markdown schedules.
