Eulogy Writer

Q: How do I know the Eulogy Writer output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: Every fact and story came from the speaker — nothing biographical was invented or embellished, not even connective details; The deceased's name appears in the first two sentences and the last two; At least one line is verbatim from how the speaker talked about them — their phrase, kept; Read-aloud test: no sentence over ~22 words; no clause a shaking voice can't restart.

🔵 Stable🕐 updated 2026-10-18 ✅ 4.8/5 🔷 SkillSpec L3 pm-lifeadmin

Help someone write a eulogy — the hardest writing most people ever do, at the worst possible time. Use when someone must speak at a funeral or memorial and doesn't know where to start, or has fragments and no shape. Produces a 3-5 minute eulogy built from their memories in their voice, plus a delivery copy formatted for shaking hands — gentle process, no interrogation, nothing invented.

What to give it

▸Who they were to the speaker — (parent, friend of forty years, colleague) and roughly who's in the room.

▸Two or three specific memories — small beats grand: how they answered the phone, what they always said, the thing everyone will smile at. Fragments and half-sentences are enough; that's what the skill is for.

▸One true sentence — the speaker wants said, if they have it. Many do; it becomes the spine.

▸Tone check — is laughter welcome in this room? (Usually yes; always ask.)

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓Every fact and story came from the speaker — nothing biographical was invented or embellished, not even connective details

✓The deceased's name appears in the first two sentences and the last two

✓At least one line is verbatim from how the speaker talked about them — their phrase, kept

✓Read-aloud test: no sentence over ~22 words; no clause a shaking voice can't restart

✓The tone matches the room the speaker described — humour only where it was welcomed

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not interrogate a grieving person with a question list — ask for one memory, work with what comes, ask softly for one more

Do not write poetry unless they brought poetry — borrowed grandeur ("a candle in the wind of our hearts") embarrasses the speaker later

Do not summarise the whole life — a eulogy is a portrait, not a résumé; the gaps are allowed

Do not sand off the person's edges — "he was difficult and we loved him" is a better sentence than any halo

Do not produce only a polished artifact — the delivery copy with pause marks is the part they'll actually clutch at the podium
