Opening · Grounding the room
Introduces the speaker and the person being honoured.
My name is Sarah. Margaret was my mother. She was also, depending on the day, my biggest critic and my loudest champion — sometimes in the same phone call.

I want to tell you a few things about her. Not the summary version. The real version — the one that explains why this room is full.
Opening grounds the room before the first story. No dictionary definitions. Speaker introduces themselves and their relationship first.
Story · Specific and named
A single memory that shows who they were.
When I was eleven, I failed my maths exam. Not narrowly — I got seventeen percent. I walked home certain I was going to be in trouble.

Mum sat me down at the kitchen table, looked at the paper, and said: "Right. We're going to figure this out together." Not: "you should have studied." Not: "this is disappointing." She made tea, she got out a notebook, and we sat there for three hours until fractions made sense.

That was her. She didn't catastrophise. She just started working on the problem.
Specific story. Named detail (seventeen percent, kitchen table, fractions). Shows character — doesn't just state it.
Thematic thread · The close
Draws the stories together into one lasting idea.
I've been trying to find the word for what Mum did — in that kitchen, and in every version of that moment across forty years.

I think the word is steady. She was the steadiest person I've ever known. Not unshakeable — she had fears like anyone. But she didn't let her fears become yours.

If you're here today, she was steady for you too. In some way, at some point, she sat with you at your kitchen table.
Thematic thread named in a single word. Widened to include others in the room. Connects the personal to the shared.
Delivery notes · Speaker guide
Practical guidance for reading aloud on the day.

How it works

How does Eulogy Writer work?

  1. Tell Claude what you need — the skill asks 2-3 narrowing questions specific to the task.
  2. The skill runs live research and structures the output before writing a single word.
  3. An anti-slop quality gate checks the draft, then delivers a ready-to-use result for $5.
What you get

Why this tribute
fills the room.

🕯️
Specific stories, not general praise. "He was kind" lands nowhere — named moments do.
Story-first
🎙️
Written to be spoken. Pacing, breath, and pause points built in from the start.
Spoken-word ready
🧵
Thematic thread unifies your stories into one idea the room will carry home.
Structured tribute
🛡️
Anti-slop gate blocks every cliché opener that makes a eulogy feel like a Wikipedia entry.
Hard cliché block
Who it's for

Built for anyone
doing the hardest speech.

Close friends asked to speak with almost no time to prepare.
✓
Funeral celebrants who need a strong first draft to shape with the family.

Not what this is for
✕Pre-written templates — every eulogy is built from your specific memories, not a fill-in-the-blank form.
✕Memorial posts or written tributes — this skill is calibrated for spoken delivery at a service.
✕Tribute videos or obituaries — different formats with different structural needs.

The complete guide to eulogy writing covers what makes a eulogy that honours the person versus one that honours the occasion.

"I've officiated over 400 services. I gave this to a son who hadn't slept in three days. He came back with a eulogy that stopped the room. I've never seen that before."

Quick answers

Do I need a paid Claude account for Eulogy Writer?

No. The free Claude plan is enough to get started and see the skill working. A Pro plan unlocks longer outputs.

How do I install the Eulogy Writer skill?

Download the .skill file, open Claude, go to Customize → Skills → Upload a skill, and drop the file in. It appears in your slash-command list immediately.

Can I edit or customise the output after I receive it?

Yes. The output is plain text you own and can edit freely. Most users tweak specific details or the call-to-action to fit their exact use case before sending or publishing.

How specific do my inputs need to be to get a good result?

The more specific your input, the more precise the output. The skill asks targeted questions to gather context — answering these in detail produces noticeably better results than generic one-line inputs.
