SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Turning a topic, personal experience, or rough draft into a memorable, stage-ready idea talk is hard: most drafts are information-heavy, lack a single defensible core message, and have no rehearsal plan. This Skill guides the full process from message extraction to delivery coaching. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Core Message & Story Design: Distills a topic into one testable core idea, then builds authentic stories, evidence, and an emotional arc around it without fabricating personal experiences. - Script Writing & Diagnosis: Produces 3, 6, or 12 minute talk scripts with timing estimates, or diagnoses existing drafts using a four-level quality model with evidence-based fixes. - Stage & Rehearsal Coaching: Adds eye-line, pause, gesture, and blocking markers plus a three-round rehearsal plan. - Use Case: A user says "help me design a 12-minute TED-style talk about starting over after failure" and receives a core message, story interview questions, a full script with stage cues, and a rehearsal plan. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to design a 6-minute TED-style talk on your chosen topic, including the core message, a full script, and rehearsal tips.

Frequently Asked Questions about ted-style-speech-coach

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a TED-style talk script from scratch?▼

Start by distilling your topic into one core message describing how the audience's thinking should change. Then build a real personal story around it, structure three sections of claim, story, and meaning, and size the script to your target duration of 3, 6, or 12 minutes.

How can I diagnose and improve an existing speech draft?▼

The draft is rated on a four-level model from unclear to memorable, with specific evidence cited for each rating. You receive the top one to three priority fixes and a rewrite of the weakest section rather than a full rewrite unless requested.

Can this help with stage delivery and rehearsal?▼

Yes, it adds stage directions for eye contact, pauses, emphasis, gestures, and positioning to your finished script, each tied to a communication purpose. It also provides a three-round rehearsal method and self-review criteria for recorded practice.

When should I not use a TED-style speech coach?▼

Do not use it for Taipei Toastmasters club roles and rules, general meeting or interview speaking practice, or slide and PPTX production. Those tasks are handed off to dedicated skills for Toastmasters, oral expression coaching, and presentation design.

Will it invent personal stories or facts for my talk?▼

No, it never fabricates first-person experiences, credentials, data, or citations. Missing personal material is marked for you to fill in, and verifiable claims about health, science, or statistics are checked against reliable sources or removed.
