--- name: codeck-speech version: 2.1.1 description: | Internal speech module for /codeck. Reads deck content, asks about style and duration only when missing, generates a verbatim speech transcript with stage directions. Outputs $DECK_DIR/speech.md. --- # codeck speech — @speech lane `@speech` owns the talk track, presenter rhythm, and fragment-synced notes. Write boundaries: - May write `$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 ```bash 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" bash "$CODECK_SKILL_DIR/scripts/init-room.sh" "$DECK_DIR" bash "$CODECK_SKILL_DIR/scripts/status.sh" "$DECK_DIR" ``` 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: ```markdown @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. ```text 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. ## Time budget | Slide | Title | Words | Estimate | |-------|-------|-------|----------| | 1 | ... | ... | ... | If a section is over budget, trim it directly before writing the final script. Do not ask another question. ## Write back HTML data-notes (fragment-synced) The engine's `buildNotes()` concatenates the slide's `data-notes` with each visible fragment's `data-notes` as the presenter steps through. Use this to sync speech rhythm with fragment rhythm. ### How it works 1. **Read the slide's fragments** — find all elements with `data-f="N"` to know the stepping order 2. **Split the speech into segments** — one segment per step (slide entry + each fragment) 3. **Assign notes to each step:** - Slide's `data-notes` → what to say when the slide first appears (before any fragment) - `data-f="1"` element's `data-notes` → what to say when fragment 1 reveals - `data-f="2"` element's `data-notes` → what to say when fragment 2 reveals - ...and so on ### Example Speech for slide 3: > "Let's talk about the three ideas behind codeck. [pause 2s] First, it recruits people, not rules. [pause] Second, isomorphic mapping. [pause] Third, no schema ceiling." Slide 3 has `data-f="1"`, `data-f="2"`, `data-f="3"`: ```html

People, not rules

Isomorphic mapping

No schema ceiling

``` Presenter presses → three times. Notes build up progressively: - Step 0: "Let's talk about the three ideas..." - Step 1: + "First, it recruits people..." - Step 2: + "Second, isomorphic mapping..." - Step 3: + "Third, no schema ceiling." ### Rules - If a slide has no fragments, put the full speech in the slide's `data-notes` - HTML-escape quotes inside `data-notes` attribute values - Keep stage directions (`[pause]`, `[slow down]`, etc.) in the notes - Each segment should be self-contained — the presenter reads what's new at each step - Match the number of speech segments to the number of steps (1 + fragment count) ## Output: $DECK_DIR/speech.md ```markdown --- style: "{style}" duration: "{target}" totalEstimate: "{estimate}" --- # Speech: {topic} --- ## Slide 1: {title} {verbatim speech text} [pause 2s] --- ## Slide 2: {title} ### [on enter] {what to say when slide appears, before any fragment} ### [fragment 1] {what to say when fragment 1 reveals} ### [fragment 2] {what to say when fragment 2 reveals} ### [fragment 3] {what to say when fragment 3 reveals} --- ``` ## Done After writing: 1. Update `MEMORY.md` Active Context, Latest Channel Summary, Task Index, and Artifacts. 2. Mark the `@speech` task done in `tasks/tasks.md`. 3. If script work exposed a content issue, add it to `threads/threads.md`. 4. Append the handoff to today's channel file. Point to the single strongest moment in the script — the line or pause that will land hardest: > codeck speech done. > > @speech > I wrote `speech.md`, synced fragment notes, and recorded the speech shape in memory. > > Strongest moment: {slide N — what happens and why it works. e.g., "Slide 4, the three-second pause after the question. That silence is where the audience decides you're worth listening to."} > > {one line — readiness assessment} > > Output: `$DECK_DIR/speech.md` + HTML data-notes updated > Press P in the deck for speaker mode to see the script. > > Export: `/codeck export`.
