An OpenClaw skill for discovering hidden events around major cultural moments.
Most AI assistants give you the same "Top 10 Events" list everyone already knows about. Event Scout digs deeper — finding the pop-ups, brand activations, community events, and invite-only experiences that orbit around major events but never make it to mainstream lists.
When a major event is coming to town (NBA All-Star Weekend, Super Bowl, SXSW, Art Basel, Comic-Con, F1, etc.), Event Scout:
- Searches like a local — X/Twitter, Luma, Eventbrite, brand pages, Reddit, and community sources
- Finds the hidden gems — Events with <200 attendees, fresh Luma pages, brand pop-ups only announced on social media
- Verifies everything — Visits actual event pages to confirm pricing, dates, and legitimacy
- Ranks by discovery value — 🔥 Hidden gems first, mainstream picks last
- Handles registration — Auto-RSVPs for free waitlists, asks before anything with commitments
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| 🏀 Sports | NBA All-Star, Super Bowl, F1 Grand Prix, World Cup, March Madness |
| 🎵 Music | Coachella, SXSW, Rolling Loud, Governors Ball, Art Basel parties |
| 🎮 Culture | Comic-Con, VidCon, CES, E3/Summer Game Fest, TwitchCon |
| 🎨 Art & Fashion | Art Basel, Fashion Week, Design Week, Frieze |

# Clone into your OpenClaw skills directory
git clone https://github.com/rajwaitforit/event-scout.git ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/event-scoutOr add as a git submodule if you version-control your workspace.
Just talk naturally:
- "What's happening around All-Star Weekend in SF?"
- "Find me free events during SXSW in Austin"
- "Any brand pop-ups for Art Basel Miami?"
- "What lowkey stuff is going on for the Super Bowl this year?"
The skill activates automatically when it detects a major event context.
Events are ranked in tiers:
- 🔥 Must-hit — Verified, free, easy to attend, hidden gem
- ✅ Strong option — Good event, might need registration or waitlist
- 👀 On the radar — Mainstream or less certain, but worth knowing
Each event includes: location, date/time, cost, registration status, direct link, and a one-line "why this one" recommendation.

Event Scout follows a 6-phase workflow:
- Understand — Extract event, city, dates, budget, vibe (max 1 clarifying question)
- Discover — Search 5+ sources in priority order, with fallbacks if any fail
- Verify — Visit every event page to confirm details. No guessing.
- Score — Rank by hidden-gem factor, confidence, ease of attendance
- Register — Auto-RSVP free stuff, ask before commitments
- Report — Structured output grouped by day, gems first
If it's the first Google result, it's not a discovery.
Event Scout prioritizes what the algorithms haven't surfaced yet. The Puma x Fast & Furious pop-up that only got mentioned in 3 tweets. The Luma event with 47 RSVPs that turns out to be the best night of the weekend. That's what this skill finds.
- Time-sensitive by nature. Satellite events get announced days or even hours before they happen. Earlier searches = fewer results. Recommend re-running closer to the event.
- Registration may require browser interaction. Some platforms use CAPTCHAs or require app downloads — the skill will flag these and provide direct links.
- X/Twitter depth depends on tooling. Best results come with the
x-researchskill. Without it, X discovery uses web search (less comprehensive but still useful). - Not a ticket broker. This skill finds events, not deals on tickets to the main event itself.
