eulogy-writer
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.

# Eulogy Writer A eulogy is not a biography and not a performance. It is one person saying: *this is who they were to us, and it mattered.* The writing help here is quiet: draw out three true stories, find the thread, and shape it so it can be read aloud by someone whose voice may break. ## Required Inputs Gathered gently — a few at a time, never as a form: - **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 Shape That Works 1. **Arrive small** — one concrete image of them, mid-life, mid-gesture. Never "we are gathered" and never a dictionary definition of loss. 2. **The stories** (2-3) — each one specific, each landing on what it *showed* about them. Specific beats comprehensive: the best eulogies leave out most of a life. 3. **The turn**

Where does this skill come from?
From mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills, a repository with 1,255 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
