About this skill
What does the conference-speaker-scraper skill do?

Extract speaker names, titles, companies, and bios from conference websites. Supports direct HTML scraping and Apify web scraper fallback for JS-heavy sites. Use for pre-event research and outreach targeting.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add gooseworks-ai/goose-skills --skill conference-speaker-scraper --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From gooseworks-ai/goose-skills, a repository with 1,091 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
