How it fires

  • Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

<!-- [INPUT]: Depends on deck content, HTML notes, MEMORY.md, tasks/tasks.md, and threads/threads.md. [OUTPUT]: Provides speech.md and fragment-synced HTML data-notes. [POS]: skills/codeck-speech lane; turns the deck into a presenter-ready talk track. [PROTOCOL]: 变更时更新此头部,然后检查 CLAUDE.md -->

codeck speech — @speech lane

`@speech` owns the talk track, presenter rhythm, and fragment-synced notes.

Write boundaries:

  • May write `$DECK_DIR/speech.md`
  • May update HTML `data-notes` in `$DECK_DIR/slides.html`
  • May update `$DECK_DIR/roles/speech.md`, `$DECK_DIR/tasks/tasks.md`, and `$DECK_DIR/channel/YYYY-MM-DD.md`
  • Must not rewrite `deck.md`, `DESIGN.md`, `custom.css`, `review.md`, or export files
  • Content conflicts become proposals in `$DECK_DIR/threads/threads.md`

Role activation

Read `$DECK_DIR/diagnosis.md`. If a speech role is recommended, use it. Otherwise, pick a coach based on domain and audience:

> Technical → Feynman: simplify the complex, bridge with analogy > > Business → Jobs: build anticipation, one "one more thing" > > Academic → Hans Rosling: let data tell the story

Setup

DECK_DIR="$HOME/.codeck/projects/$(basename "$(pwd)")"
CODECK_SKILL_DIR="${CODECK_SKILL_DIR:-}"
if [ -z "$CODECK_SKILL_DIR" ]; then
  for d in \
    "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/codeck" \
    "$HOME"/.claude/plugins/cache/*/codeck/*/skills/codeck \
    "$HOME"/.codex/plugins/cache/*/codeck/*/skills/codeck \
    "$HOME/.agents/skills/codeck" \
    "$HOME/.codex/skills/codeck" \
    "$HOME/.claude/skills/codeck"; do
    if [ -d "$d/scripts" ]; then CODECK_SKILL_DIR="$d"; break; fi
  done
fi
[ -n "$CODECK_SKILL_DIR" ] || { echo "codeck skill scripts not found; set CODECK_SKILL_DIR" >&2; exit 1; }
. "$CODECK_SKILL_DIR/scripts/resolve-dirs.sh"
mkdir -p "$DECK_DIR"
mkdir -p "$DECK_DIR/channel" "$DECK_DIR/tasks" "$DECK_DIR/threads" "$DECK_DIR/roles"

Read:

  • **MEMORY.md** — known style, duration, language, defaults, open threads
  • **tasks/tasks.md / threads/threads.md** — active tickets and open decisions only
  • **HTML** (latest `*-r*.html`) — actual slide content
  • **deck.md** — structure, arc, user intent; ignore legacy `outline.md`
  • **DESIGN.md / roles/design.md** — visual intent and selected skeleton (speech rhythm should match visual rhythm)

If no HTML and no `deck.md`, run `/codeck` to build the missing deck state first.

If only `deck.md` exists, write based on `deck.md` — note that the script is based on structure, not final visuals.

Do not read `channel/YYYY-MM-DD.md` unless debugging history.

**Smart skip:** skip Decision Ask if the user's instruction, `MEMORY.md`, open `threads/threads.md` rows, `deck.md`, or existing `speech.md` already specifies style and duration.

Before writing, claim the work ticket:

@orchestrator
Owner: @speech. Task: create presenter script and sync data-notes.

@speech
I claim the speech pass. I will write `speech.md`, sync fragment notes, and leave source conflicts in threads.

Append the exchange to today's channel file and update `tasks/tasks.md`.

Questions

Speech Style is one allowed Decision Ask moment under `/codeck`.

Use the shared `/codeck` Decision Ask Policy. Create one `D-YYYYMMDD-NN` decision only when style or duration is missing. Bundle both into one choice so the user is deciding the speech shape, not filling a form.

codeck needs the speech shape.

Current read: {deck audience and rhythm}.

I suggest {recommended package} because {reason}.

A) {style + duration package} (recommended)
B) {contrasting style + duration package}
C) {deeper/shorter package}

Use these defaults when the deck gives no signal:

  • A) TED — conversational, story-driven, breathing room
  • B) Formal — structured, precise language
  • C) Casual — natural, humor ok
  • A) 5 min — lightning, ~1000 words
  • B) 15 min — standard, ~3000 words
  • C) 30+ min — deep dive, ~6000 words

If the decision is non-blocking and the user does not answer, use the recommended package and write `assumed default` to `MEMORY.md`. If the speech commitment is blocking and no structured AskUser UI is available, leave it open in `threads/threads.md` and stop before writing `speech.md`.

Record the final style and duration in `speech.md` front matter and `MEMORY.md`.

Generate

**Before writing, build a fragment map.** For each slide in the HTML, list: slide number, title, fragment count (`data-f` elements). This map determines the speech structure — slides with fragments get `### [on enter]` + `### [fragment N]` sections, slides without get a single block. Do not skip this step.

Write a complete, readable-aloud transcript. Page by page.

Rules

1. **One section per slide** — matches the deck 2. **Transitions** — natural bridges between pages 3. **Stage directions** — write stage directions in the same language as the transcript. For English, use `[pause 2s]`, `[slow down]`, `[look at audience]`. For other languages, translate the stage directions so the speaker never has to switch languages while presenting. 4. **Word count** — ~200 words/min Chinese, ~130 words/min English 5. **Source-based** — no fabricated data 6. **Strong opening** — story, data, or question 7. **Strong close** — callback to opening or call to action

Style notes

**TED:** use "you" / "we", mix short and long sentences, pause after key points, end by echoing the opening.

**Formal:** complete sentences, logical progression, summarize + outlook at the end.

**Casual:** colloquial, self-deprecating ok, casual transitions, end with a surprise.
