speak-at-the-council
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.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills --skill speak-at-the-council --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
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.
