Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Real-time SXSW 2026 schedule lookup, event search, speaker info, and recommendations for the March 12-18 conference and festivals in Austin, TX.
User asks about SXSW 2026 schedule, events, sessions, or speakers User asks "What's happening at SXSW today/tomorrow/on [date]" User wants SXSW recommendations, must-see events, or keynotes User asks about SXSW venue locations or event times User asks about music showcases, film screenings, or comedy events User asks about specific speakers or topics at SXSW User asks about any SXSW 2026 related queries User mentions SXSW, South by Southwest, or the Austin March conference
The skill uses a local-first approach with a pre-scraped schedule dataset: SourceTypeDescriptiondata/sxsw-2026-schedule.jsonLocal JSONComplete schedule with 3,400+ eventsdata/sxsw-2026-index.jsonLocal JSONSearch index (by date, track, venue, format, speaker, keyword)Web searchLiveSupplemental โ for schedule changes, cancellations, breaking news
Supplement the local dataset with web search when: User asks about schedule changes, cancellations, or last-minute additions User asks about news, announcements, or breaking SXSW info The query isn't found in the local dataset The event date is within 48 hours (things change last minute at SXSW)
node scripts/sxsw.ts info # dataset overview node scripts/sxsw.ts today # today's events node scripts/sxsw.ts recommend # keynotes & featured sessions
The CLI at scripts/sxsw.ts supports these commands: # List/filter events node scripts/sxsw.ts events --date 2026-03-14 node scripts/sxsw.ts events --track "AI" node scripts/sxsw.ts events --venue "JW Marriott" node scripts/sxsw.ts events --format "keynote" node scripts/sxsw.ts events --search "machine learning" node scripts/sxsw.ts events --search "climate" --date 2026-03-15 --verbose # Speaker search node scripts/sxsw.ts speakers --search "Amy Webb" # Browse node scripts/sxsw.ts venues node scripts/sxsw.ts tracks node scripts/sxsw.ts today node scripts/sxsw.ts tomorrow node scripts/sxsw.ts recommend node scripts/sxsw.ts info Filters can be combined. Add --verbose for descriptions and speaker details. Add --limit N to cap results.

Ask about specific dates: "What's happening Thursday March 12?" Ask about topics: "Any AI panels this week?" Ask about people: "When does Mark Rober speak?" Ask for recommendations: "What are the must-see keynotes?" Ask about venues: "What's at the Convention Center on Saturday?" Combine filters: "Film screenings on Friday at the Paramount?"
For "what's happening on [date]" queries: group events by time slot, show venue For speaker queries: show all their sessions with times and venues For track/topic queries: show relevant sessions sorted by date/time For "recommend" queries: highlight keynotes, featured sessions, and fireside chats Always include the direct schedule.sxsw.com event URL when referencing specific events When listing many events, show the most relevant first and mention total count
Since the user is likely in Austin during SXSW: Convention Center is at 500 E Cesar Chavez St (renamed from Convention Center Blvd) JW Marriott, Hilton, Fairmont are the main hotel venues โ all walkable downtown Music showcases cluster on 6th Street, Red River Cultural District, and Rainey Street CapMetro is free during SXSW (Red Line rail + buses) Use the capmetro-skill for transit info Rideshare pickup/dropoff zones shift during SXSW โ check sxsw.com/attend for maps
If the data files cannot be loaded, report the error and suggest re-running the scraper If a search returns no results, suggest broadening the query or trying web search If the user asks about something not in the dataset, use web search to find the answer
EndpointData SentData ReceivedWeb search (agent-initiated)Search query textSearch results for schedule changes, cancellations, breaking news The skill scripts themselves make no network requests โ they read only local JSON data files. However, the skill instructions direct the agent to use its built-in web search as a fallback when local data is insufficient (e.g., last-minute schedule changes, queries not found in the dataset).
No API keys or credentials required No external network requests from the skill scripts No user data collected or transmitted All data is read-only from pre-scraped local JSON files Source data is publicly available at schedule.sxsw.com
This skill reads a pre-scraped copy of the publicly available SXSW 2026 schedule. It makes no network requests, requires no API keys, and stores no user data. The scraped data can be refreshed by running the included scraper.
