AD speech-structure-coach
Speech and presentation structure coaching based on Patrick Winston's How to Speak. Use when Codex needs to help with talks, workshops, training sessions, tutorial videos, or slide-based presentations: sharpen the opening promise, strengthen structure and repetition, add verbal punctuation, improve audience attention, review slide sins, and build a stronger ending.
As a process D 49/100 · Unfinished process — weak spots: result and completion, when it triggers, inputs and preconditions
How to improve
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Process rating: all ten parameters 49/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (speech-structure-coach) differs from the folder (cell-speech-structure-coach)
- 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
- 100Steps. 32 steps
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 208 tokens
- 100Running it twice. No mutating operations
Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
