It works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and is ready to use out of the box.
About this skill
Presentation & Public Speaking Coach takes a described presentation — topic, audience, current structure or outline — and rebuilds it around a single core message and the one action or belief the audience should walk away with. It restructures the flow to build toward that takeaway, flags the specific parts most likely to lose attention (too much detail too early, no clear stakes, weak opening), and gives concrete delivery notes rather than generic public-speaking tips like 'make eye contact.'
What it does
Given a presentation topic, audience, and current outline or draft, the skill identifies the single core message and audience takeaway, restructures the flow around it, flags the specific weak points most likely to lose attention, and provides concrete opening and closing lines along with delivery notes tailored to the actual content, not generic public-speaking advice.
What is included
- Core message and takeaway identification
- Structural flow rebuild around the takeaway
- Weak-point flagging (attention-loss risk areas)
- Concrete opening and closing line drafts
- Content-specific delivery notes (pacing, emphasis, pause points)

Examples
I'm presenting our Q3 results to the board. Currently I have 12 slides going department by department through every metric.
Core message: identify the single thing the board most needs to know or decide (e.g., "we're on track for the year despite a rough Q3 in one segment") — a department-by-department walkthrough has no single takeaway, which is the core structural problem. Restructure: open with the headline result and what it means for the year-end target, then go department by department only for the 2 that materially explain the story (the strong one and the weak one), not all of them. Move the rest to an appendix for questions. Weak point flagged: 12 slides of metrics with no narrative thread will lose the board by slide 4 — boards remember one number and one decision, not twelve data points. Opening line: "We're on track to hit our year-end target, but Q3 revealed a real gap in [segment] that I want to walk you through, along with what we're doing about it."
