Sessions Catalog

{vault_root}/sessions-catalog.md is the single source of submission-ready materials for active talks. cfp-writer owns its edits. Other skills read entries or hand approved updates here. Catalog reads do not start a submission interview. An absent catalog is an empty first-run catalog; create it on the first approved write. Preserve unrelated entries.

Each entry contains title/subtitle, submission-ready abstract, prose outline with section descriptions and time allocations, and optional Small Print for the Program Committee. Mark Small Print as internal. Separate entries with ---.

Adapt an existing entry before creating another version of the same talk. Save the latest approved title, abstract, and outline after a CFP revision or an approved-outline handoff. Archive or remove an entry only when requested. Full history remains in the tracking database and analysis files; this Markdown edit does not authorize a tracking write.

Before saving new prose, invoke Skill(skill: "blog-writer") with the abstract for an anti-pattern check; apply its flagged-phrasing corrections here. If that skill is unavailable, report the skipped check and the installation command tessl install jbaruch/blog-writer. Never approximate its scanner inline. Keep the catalog's Last updated date current. Return the saved entry and path to the caller without starting slide work or publication.
