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

conference-speaker-scraper 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/scrape_speakers.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Conference Speaker Scraper

Extract speaker names, titles, companies, and bios from conference website /speakers pages. Supports direct HTML scraping with multiple extraction strategies, plus Apify fallback for JS-heavy sites.

Quick Start

No API key needed for direct scraping mode.

# Scrape speakers from a conference page
python3 skills/conference-speaker-scraper/scripts/scrape_speakers.py \
  --url "https://example.com/speakers"

# Use Apify for JS-heavy sites
python3 skills/conference-speaker-scraper/scripts/scrape_speakers.py \
  --url "https://example.com/speakers" --mode apify

# Custom conference name (otherwise inferred from URL)
python3 skills/conference-speaker-scraper/scripts/scrape_speakers.py \
  --url "https://example.com/speakers" --conference "Sage Future 2026"

# Output formats
python3 skills/conference-speaker-scraper/scripts/scrape_speakers.py --url URL --output json     # default
python3 skills/conference-speaker-scraper/scripts/scrape_speakers.py --url URL --output csv
python3 skills/conference-speaker-scraper/scripts/scrape_speakers.py --url URL --output summary

How It Works

Direct Mode (default)

Fetches the page HTML and tries multiple extraction strategies in order, using whichever returns the most results:

  1. Strategy A -- CSS class hints: Looks for speaker cards with class names containing "speaker", "presenter", "faculty", "panelist", "team-member"
  2. Strategy B -- Heading + paragraph patterns: Looks for repeated <h2>/<h3> + <p> structures
  3. Strategy C -- JSON-LD structured data: Checks for <script type="application/ld+json"> with speaker data
  4. Strategy D -- Platform embeds: Detects Sched.com/Sessionize patterns used by many conferences

Apify Mode

Uses apify/cheerio-scraper actor with a custom page function that targets common speaker card selectors. Standard POST/poll/GET dataset pattern.

CLI Reference

Flag Default Description
--url required Conference speakers page URL
--conference inferred Conference name (otherwise inferred from URL domain)
--mode direct direct (HTML scraping) or apify (Apify cheerio scraper)
--output json Output format: json, csv, or summary
--token env var Apify token (only needed for apify mode)
--timeout 300 Max seconds for Apify run

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
