SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Turning a finished talk outline into something you can actually say on stage is hard: speakers either wing it or write a word-perfect script that sounds recited. This Skill converts a content brief and slide-content spec into spoken-word cue cards, a rehearsed opening and closing line, and a full delivery plan covering pace, nerves, and rehearsal. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Cue cards for the ear: Generates 3-7 word trigger cards keyed to each slide number, with hand-written verbatim opening and closing lines and pace/pause/emphasis marks. - Slide-content feedback loop: Flags slides that repeat spoken sentences, beats with no slide, and missing transitions, then proposes specific edits to the slide spec for approval. - Delivery coaching and context tactics: Produces a pre-talk countdown, nerve-reframe plan, vocal warm-up, humor check, rehearsal schedule, and tactics for in-person, online, or workshop formats. - Use Case: You have 01-content-brief.md and 02-slides-content.md for a 20-minute conference talk. Run the Skill to get 03-delivery-plan.md with per-slide cue cards, a T-24h to T-0 countdown, and a recording self-audit checklist. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to write speaker notes and a rehearsal plan from the content brief and slide spec in your talk working directory.

Frequently Asked Questions about talk-delivery

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn a slide outline into speaker notes I can rehearse from?

Provide a content brief and slide-content spec in the working directory, and the Skill writes trigger-word cue cards keyed to each slide number. It hand-writes only the opening and closing lines verbatim, keeping the middle as cue words so delivery stays conversational.

What inputs does the talk-delivery skill need before it runs?

It requires 01-content-brief.md and 02-slides-content.md in the working directory, typically under ~/talks/<slug>/. It also needs the venue context (in-person, online, or workshop), time slot, and talk date to build the rehearsal schedule.

Can it write a full word-for-word teleprompter script?

No, it deliberately refuses because memorized scripts produce brittle, recited delivery. It writes trigger-word cue cards plus verbatim opening and closing lines instead; if you insist on a full script, it flags the risk in the plan.

Does the skill edit my slide content directly?

It proposes specific edits to 02-slides-content.md when voicing the talk reveals problems like redundant on-screen text or missing transitions, but applies changes only after your approval. It never alters the throughline, memorable moment, or named specifics.

When should I not use this skill for talk preparation?

Skip it when no content brief exists yet (route to talk-content first), when you want slide restructuring or visual styling (route to talk-slides-content or talk-slides-style), or when the deck itself needs building (talk-slides-build).
