Introduction

In sales, business development, or project coordination, “inviting clients to dinner” often gets stuck due to incomplete information: budget, dietary restrictions, and misaligned hierarchies between parties. Agents can only recommend generic restaurants. Researching etiquette, planning seating arrangements, and preparing conversation topics manually is time-consuming and prone to oversights. Below is an introduction to the SkillHub community Skill “Business Dinner Arrangement” (@user_70c2f807/business-dinner-arrangement). By filling in key fields during a conversation, it follows fixed steps to produce restaurant types, menu frameworks, seating plans, and process checklists. This is suitable for scenarios requiring reusable solution templates.

What is this

“Business Dinner Arrangement” is an Agent Skill designed for business-ops office scenarios. It adopts the universal SKILL.md format, with the current version at 1.0.0. It originates from the community and is maintained by the publisher user_70c2f807. The SkillHub page indicates requires_api_key=false, meaning no additional API Key is needed after installation.

Trigger Side: When a user mentions business banquets, treating to a meal, dinner arrangement, seating arrangement, or hosting clients for dinner, and it is not a team dinner, family gathering, wedding reception, or conference tea break, the Agent should execute the process defined in the Skill.

Core Functions

The following capabilities are derived from the official SKILL.md instructions and verified via skillhub install.

  1. Information Confirmation: Collects required fields such as client level and title, dinner purpose, budget, number of attendees, dietary restrictions, and city. If items are missing, it follows built-in prompts to ask follow-up questions.
  2. Solution Design: Recommends restaurant types and styles based on budget and occasion; provides a menu framework (balancing cold/hot and meat/vegetables, accommodating dietary restrictions); plans seating arrangements and arrival sequence.
  3. Detail Supplementation: Provides a phased topic library (opening, during meal, closing); taboos and precautions; and a checklist for pre- and post-dinner processes.
  4. Cross-Culture: When users specify client nationality or religious dietary requirements, it supplements etiquette and dietary precautions.
  5. Output Structure: A unified Markdown template containing blocks for basic information, restaurant suggestions, menu tables, seating diagrams, conversation guides, and process timelines.
  6. Boundaries & Compliance: Does not store client personal information; does not recommend arrangements that violate company compliance or constitute bribery; explicitly states it is not applicable to team building, family gatherings, weddings, or purely online meetings.

Known Limitations (Required to inform users in advance as per the Skill’s original text):

  • Client level, number of attendees, dietary restrictions, and budget are indispensable; otherwise, the quality of the solution is limited.
  • Cannot query real-time restaurant operating status or dish prices.
  • Dining habits vary significantly across cities; the city must be confirmed.
  • Religious dietary taboos require final confirmation by the user.

Installation & Activation

First, confirm that skillhub is installed on your machine (see SkillHub Installation Docs for installation details). When installing the skill, you must use --dir to point to the current Agent’s skills directory; otherwise, it defaults to ./skills/ which may not be recognized.

skillhub install business-dinner-arrangement --namespace user_70c2f807 --dir <your skills directory>

Common skills paths for Agents (excerpted from official installation docs):

  • Cursor: ~/.cursor/skills/
  • Claude Code: ~/.claude/skills/
  • Codex: ~/.codex/skills/ or .agents/skills/ under the project

After installation, restart or refresh the Agent as required by your client to activate the new Skill.

Method 2: Let AI Install via Official Prompt

The installation prompt provided on the SkillHub skill page is: Please install @user_70c2f807/business-dinner-arrangement according to https://skillhub.cn/install/skillhub.md. This is suitable for users who prefer conversation-driven installation but haven’t memorized the CLI parameters yet.

Typical Usage

The “Quick Start” section in the Skill provides a reproducible dialogue mode; below is the content stripped of decorative symbols, retaining facts and input/output relationships.

Example 1: Filling in information when incomplete

User: I want to treat a client to dinner next week, help me arrange it.

Agent should ask for: Client level, number of people, budget, city, known dietary restrictions, etc.

Example 2: Outputting a complete plan once fields are complete

User: 2 Director-level clients + 3 of us, budget 3000, Beijing, they don’t eat spicy food.

Agent outputs according to Step 1–3: Restaurant type suggestion, menu framework, seating arrangement, conversation topics, and process timeline (format see the Skill’s “Output Format” section).

Example 3: Cross-cultural banquet

User: The client is Japanese, how to arrange it?

Agent adds cross-cultural etiquette and dietary precautions to the plan.

Example 4: Single capability requests

User: How to arrange seating? I have my leader with me.
→ Generates a seating diagram and guidance based on the positions of both parties.

User: How to find topics to avoid awkward silence?
→ Outputs a phased topic library.

The execution order is fixed in the Skill: Confirm Information → Design Plan (Restaurant type, Menu, Seating) → Supplement Details (Topics, Taboos, Timeline).

Applicable Scenarios & Notes

Who is it for

  • Business professionals who frequently handle client reception, partnership celebrations, or relationship maintenance dinners, and want the Agent to output consistent structures that are easy to forward to assistants or leaders for review.
  • Users working in clients that support Skills (like Cursor, Claude Code, Codex) and are willing to specify the correct skills directory during installation.

Usage Notes

  • SkillHub scraped data (as of documentation writing): Rating 100000, Downloads 877, Install count 0; This is a community Skill. Before use, you can view the latest version and instructions on the SkillHub Skill Page.
  • Restaurants and prices are only suggestions for types and ranges; important banquets still require on-site scouting to confirm private rooms and payment methods.
  • If the budget is significantly lower than the client’s level, the Skill will indicate a potential mismatch. Manual decision is needed on whether to adjust the budget or switch to a lighter business format.

Conclusion

“Business Dinner Arrangement” converges the business dinner process from “casual asking” to a workflow of “filling in key fields first, then outputting a plan via templates.” It clearly defines non-applicable scenarios and compliance boundaries. If you frequently handle reception and seating issues in Agents, you can install it to the corresponding skills directory using the command above.
