Speak At The Council

Q: How do I know the Speak At The Council output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: The ask appears in the first and last sentences of the speech, and; it's an action the body can actually take; Facts in the speech are checkable and sourced aloud; the feeling is; carried by the story, not by adjectives.

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

Turn three minutes at a council or community meeting into the version that actually moves the decision — a public comment built as ask-story-evidence-ask, timed to the real decision process, with a neighbor coalition plan and the written follow-up officials can act on. Use when someone says 'I want to speak at the council meeting', 'they're planning X on our street', 'how do I fight this decision', or 'write my public comment'. Produces the 3-minute speech, the one-page leave-behind, and the campaign timeline.

What to give it

▸The issue and the specific decision coming — (a planning application? a budget line? a road change?) plus any reference numbers/links

▸What outcome they want, said plainly — oppose entirely? conditions? delay? alternative?

▸Their story and evidence so far, and how — many neighbors are genuinely bothered

▸What they know of the process/dates — the skill flags what to find out at the council's own site — never invents procedure

✅ 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.

✓The ask appears in the first and last sentences of the speech, and

✓it's an action the body can actually take

✓Facts in the speech are checkable and sourced aloud; the feeling is

✓carried by the story, not by adjectives

✓The speech reads aloud inside 3 minutes with a marked 2-minute cut

✓Every procedural claim carries a verify-local flag — no invented

✓council process

✓Speaker angles don't overlap; the coalition plan survives two

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not write outrage — the angriest speech in the room is the most

ignorable; controlled specificity reads as dangerous to ignore

Do not attack the members deciding — tonight's opponent is next

round's swing vote

Do not spend the three minutes on background; they have the papers,
