SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Most events publish a code of conduct with no enforcement behind it: no named response team, no working reporting channel, no sanctions ladder. This Skill produces both halves - the published policy document and the pipeline of named people who can act on a report before the event ends. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Policy drafting and scope clause: Adapts an established template (MLH, PyCon US, confcodeofconduct.com lineage) and writes the scope clause covering people, spaces, dates, and off-site conduct, including sponsors, booth staff, unofficial fringe events, and event-supplied transportation. - Reporting channels and response team: Designs the channel mix (published alias, anonymous intake, visible on-site responders) and staffs a named 3-6 person team with conflict-of-interest recusal rules and a fixed decision method. - Incident runbook, sanctions ladder, and appeals: Provides an on-site intake sequence, capture fields, a published response clock, a pre-published sanctions ladder with asymmetric appeal rights, and transparency reporting. - Use Case: A first-edition 800-person conference needs a code of conduct live before ticket sales open in three weeks. The Skill runs a scoping interview, adapts an established text, stands up a named response team and channels, and publishes a ladder and response clock before the policy goes live. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to write a code of conduct and incident reporting process for your upcoming conference, including the response team and sanctions ladder.

Frequently Asked Questions about event-code-of-conduct

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a code of conduct for a tech conference?

Adapt an established template such as the MLH, PyCon US, or confcodeofconduct.com texts rather than drafting from scratch, since they share the enumerated prohibited-behavior list reporters expect. Then write the scope clause naming which people, spaces, dates, and off-site conduct the policy covers.

How do I set up incident reporting for a hackathon or conference?

Combine a published email alias, named conflict-of-interest alternates, and physically identifiable on-site responders in distinctive clothing. Add an anonymous intake path when a power gradient exists, such as students reporting on professors or recruiters.

Should our event write its own code of conduct from scratch?

No. Established event policies share a common enumerated prohibited-behavior list descended from JSConf US 2012 and the Ada Initiative, and a from-scratch draft risks omitting items reporters look for. Adapt a licensed template and keep its attribution.

Does a code of conduct cover sponsor booth staff and unofficial afterparties?

Yes. The scope clause should name sponsors and booth staff, who are bound through their employer's sponsor contract rather than a ticket, and should explicitly cover attendee-organized fringe events and event-supplied transportation.

What should we do when someone reports harassment during the event?

Move the reporter to a private space, assess immediate safety, document the report with concrete capture fields, and escalate to response leads by call or SMS. Never mediate between the parties or ask the reporter to set the penalty.

When should a code of conduct not be adopted at all?

Do not adopt one that cannot bind the event's most powerful people, such as a founder or headline speaker with no independent body above them. An unenforced or selectively enforced policy is worse than none.
