Opening hook
Opens in a scene — not a self-introduction.
Three years ago, Marcus called me at 11pm from a car park. I assumed something was wrong. It wasn't. He just wanted to tell me he'd met someone, and he couldn't wait until morning.

That's Marcus. [pause — look up] And that is exactly why we're all here tonight.

Hook drops the audience into a specific moment before the occasion is even named. No "for those who don't know me." No dictionary definitions.
Core story section
One story, told well. Specific detail carries the emotion.
I've known Marcus since university. We shared a flat for three years — which means I have evidence. The man cannot cook. He once microwaved pasta for so long the bowl cracked.

But here's what I noticed: every time Sara came over, there were actual ingredients on the counter. Effort. Planning. I'd never seen that before.

She made him want to be better at things. Even pasta.

350–600 word body for a best man speech. Depth over breadth — one story fully explored outperforms five stories summarised.
Emotional close & toast
Ends with the honoured person — not the speaker.
Marcus, I've watched you grow from the person who couldn't keep a plant alive to someone who has built a life worth celebrating tonight.

Sara — thank you for seeing what we always knew was there.

Ladies and gentlemen, please raise your glasses.
To Marcus and Sara — may every year be better than the last, and may the pasta always turn out fine. [pause]

Marcus and Sara.

Final line directed at the couple, not the audience. Forward-looking close. Toast phrased to invite the room.
Delivery guide
Timing, pause markers, and breath cues — built in.
Total runtime: ~3 min 40 sec (460 words)
[pause] = 2–3 second beat. Look up.
[slow down] = drop pace by 30%.
[look at couple] = turn to face them.
Tip: read the first line aloud before you start. It settles nerves and sets the pace.
Tip: hold the glass during the toast — don't raise it until the final line.
Every speech includes a full delivery guide. A speech written to be read is not a speech written to be given.

How it works

How does Event Speech 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.

giving a speech at a celebration.

Not what this is for
✕Formal political or corporate keynote speeches — this is built for personal occasions.
✕Eulogies where the context is raw grief — the Eulogy Writer skill handles that with more care.
✕Speeches longer than 10 minutes — this is optimised for 1–7 minute celebration toasts.

The complete guide to event speech writing covers what makes a speech that lands on the night versus one that reads well on paper.

"I was the best man and I'd been putting it off for weeks. Used this the night before. The speech got a standing ovation from the groom's mother. I still can't believe it."

Quick answers

Do I need a paid Claude account for Event Speech 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 Event Speech 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.
