Conf Preference Elicitation
Build a personalized preference profile from a small number of well-chosen, cluster-grounded questions instead of a long survey. Represents the person's interests as an uncertainty region over the theme map, picks the single highest-information-gain choice-based question (contrasting real talks from different clusters), balances exploiting known interests against exploring uncertain ones, deliberately injects outlier probes to fight selection bias, and stops as soon as the schedule would be stable. Also elicits the user-owned objective weights and hard constraints. Interactive — runs where it can actually ask the person. Conference-agnostic. Use to turn a theme map into a preference profile, to decide what to ask a conference attendee, or to elicit scheduling priorities. Trigger keywords - preference elicitation, ask few questions, information gain, choice-based questions, selection bias probe, objective weights, attendee preferences.

From the source SKILL.md
The instinct when personalizing a schedule is to interview the attendee — ask them to rate every theme, list their goals, fill out a form. That is the wrong shape. With a good latent structure underneath (the theme map), a couple of well-chosen questions capture most of the signal; the literature shows large personalization gains after only two. The agent's intelligence belongs in which question to ask next, not in how many to ask. A person will answer three sharp, concrete questions gladly and resent ten vague ones — and the ten vague ones model them worse.
What this skill does
Conf Preference Elicitation is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the red-team sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/conf-preference-elicitation/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
Who uses this skill
The Conf Preference Elicitation Claude Code skill is built for security engineers, penetration testers, DevSecOps practitioners, and development teams hardening codebases and infrastructure.
