guest-circuit

guest-circuit is a skill for Claude Code from conorbronsdon/agent-skills. It costs 89 tokens per session (2,537 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research workflow for mapping a person's podcast appearances before inviting them as a guest. It looks at podcast listings, web results, and the person's own channels.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build an appearance timeline, identify repeated talking points, find less-covered angles, and draft a pitch around one of those gaps.
Why use it?
It shows which topics the person has already discussed and helps avoid sending a pitch that repeats their usual story.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

guest-circuit scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Guest Circuit — Podcast-Appearance Research for Booking

Before you pitch a prospective guest, answer two questions. Where have they already podcasted? And what has nobody asked them yet?

The first gates the booking decision. Someone on ten shows this quarter is podcast-receptive and easy to book. Someone on zero shows may need a warmer path than a cold email. The second shapes the pitch. Inviting a guest to retell the story they told three shows ago wastes the slot and bores their audience overlap with yours.

This skill maps the circuit and produces a report you can act on: appearance timeline, the "stump speech" they repeat everywhere, the angles no show has claimed, and a one-paragraph pitch built on the gap.


Invocation: deliberately model-invocable — "research X before outreach" is the trigger. It spends web-search calls, so invoke consciously on big sweeps.

When to Use

  • "Map [person]'s podcast circuit" / "where has [person] podcasted?"
  • "Research [person] before I send guest outreach"
  • "Find an unclaimed angle for [person]"
  • Before pitching a prospective guest, to gate the booking decision and shape the pitch

(See "When NOT to Use" below for the cases this skill is wrong for.)


Step 1: Disambiguate

Input: $ARGUMENTS (guest name, plus an anchor fact if given).

Names collide. Before any search, confirm one anchor fact: company, role, or a known piece of work (book, project, paper).

  • If the user provided an anchor ("Jane Doe, CTO at Acme"), proceed.
  • If the user gave only a name, ask. Do not guess and do not search yet. A sweep on the wrong Jane Doe produces a confident, useless report.

Use the anchor to filter every result in later steps. A hit that cannot be tied to the anchor goes in "could not verify."


Step 2: Appearance Sweep

Three source modalities. Run them as parallel subagents in a single tool-call batch (prompt templates in patterns/subagent-prompts.md). If subagents are unavailable, run the modalities sequentially in the same order. If web access is unavailable entirely, stop and say the sweep cannot run — never populate the timeline from model memory.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
