Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00058 | $0.02388 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00029 | $0.01194 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00478 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00239 |
Grade A, and why
conference-talk-builder 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 226 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Conference Talk Builder
Transform brain dumps, transcripts, or raw ideas into structured conference talk scripts using narrative frameworks and Nick Nisi's voice.
The output is a talk script — a narrative outline with slide-by-slide content plan, speaker notes, and timing guidance. It is deliberately tool-agnostic: feed the script into Slidev, Gamma, iA Presenter, Keynote, or whatever you use to build the actual slides.
Process
Stage 0: Entry Path
Determine how the user is starting:
From scratch — They have a topic but no material yet. Go to Stage 1.
From a brain dump — They have scattered notes, bullet points, ideas. Go to Stage 1 and use their material as the starting input.
From a transcript — They have a recording transcript, prior talk, or existing outline. Go to Stage 1-T.
From feedback — They have an existing talk script from a prior session and want to revise. Skip to Stage 4.
Stage 1: Information Gathering
Ask the user for (skip what they've already provided):
- Talk title (working title is fine)
- Topic — what's the talk about?
- Target audience — conference attendees, meetup crowd, internal team, workshop participants?
- Audience knowledge level — beginner, intermediate, expert, mixed?
- Duration — lightning (5 min), standard (20-30 min), extended (45+ min)?
- Main points they want to cover
- The story — what problem are they solving, what journey did they take, what do they want the audience to walk away with?
- Code density — is this code-heavy, concept-heavy, or balanced?
- Constraints — specific technologies, company context, anything off-limits?
- Brain dump — everything they know about the topic, unorganized is fine
Don't require all of this upfront. Ask for what's missing after the first pass.
Stage 1-T: Transcript Analysis
When working from existing material:
- Read the provided transcript or outline
- Extract: key themes, narrative arc (if any), main arguments, examples, audience assumptions
- Identify gaps — what's missing for a complete talk?
- Summarize what you found and ask the user to fill gaps
- Proceed to Stage 2 with the extracted material

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.

conference-talk-builder is a skill published in the GitHub repository nicknisi/claude-plugins (114 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 58 tokens to every session and 2,388 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
