About this skill
About Speech and talk writer
Speeches written like documents lose the audience within a minute. This skill writes for the ear: an opening story or striking fact, three points built around one message, short spoken sentences with pauses and timing marks, and a close that returns to the opening. It highlights the key lines to memorise and adds rehearsal notes. It uses only the stories and facts you provide, marking placeholders where yours should go. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send the occasion, audience, length, the one message and any stories or facts to include; the reply is laid out as “Speech”, “Key lines to memorise” and “Rehearsal notes”.
Speech and talk writer — example input and the first lines it returns. Works in ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini.
