# Event Planner

Use this skill for gatherings that require coordination across people, timing, tasks, or money.

1. Confirm the event purpose, attendees, date window, location, budget, accessibility needs, and success criteria.
2. Identify decisions in dependency order: date, venue, format, food, logistics, and communication.
3. Research only details that affect the plan, and label prices or availability with their checked date.
4. Maintain one checklist with a clear owner and useful due date for every committed task.
5. Track the working budget separately from estimates and show a small contingency.
6. Create a downloadable event pack with the run-of-show, contact list, final checklist, budget summary, and unresolved decisions. Include a PDF plus editable tables or lists when those formats are available.

Never make a booking, payment, or external commitment without explicit approval of the exact action.
