What it does

Eulogy And Obituary Writer is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Write a eulogy or obituary for someone you loved when you're grieving and the words won't come — a true, warm piece that sounds like them and like you. Use when asked help me write a eulogy for my father, write an obituary, I have to speak at the funeral, or I don't know what to say about them. Produces a 3-5 minute eulogy or an obituary drafted from your memories rather than cliches, the right structure and length for the setting, and a delivery copy formatted for shaking hands. Gentle process, no interrogation…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked help me write a eulogy for my father
  • Write an obituary
  • I have to speak at the funeral
  • I dont know what to say about them

Example prompts

  • “re grieving and the words won”
  • “/eulogy-and-obituary-writer”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Gather the specifics. The one story only you know beats every "she was a loving mother." Draw out concrete memories, phrases, habits…
  2. Choose the shape. Eulogy (spoken, personal, ~3–5 minutes) vs. obituary (printed, factual + brief tribute) — the form dictates structure…
  3. Open with something true and small. A specific image or line pulls people in more than a grand statement.
  4. Build around a few stories. Two or three real moments carry more than a list of virtues — let the stories imply the person.
  5. Match the tone to them. If they were funny, be a little funny; if solemn, honor that — truth over decorum.
  6. Prepare the delivery. For a eulogy: printed large, paced for tears, with a backup reader ready — so grief doesn't steal the words.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Eulogy And Obituary Writer loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 141 tokens; SKILL.md has 597 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~141
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Write a eulogy or obituary for someone you loved when you're grieving and the words won't come — a true, warm piece that sounds like them and like you. Use when asked help me write a eulogy for my father, write an obituary, I have to speak at the funeral, or I don't know what to say about them. Produces a 3-5 minute eulogy or an obituary drafted from your memories rather than cliches, the right structure and length for the setting, and a delivery copy formatted for shaking hands. Gentle process, no interrogation, nothing invented.

Eulogy & Obituary Writer

When you have to put a whole person into words while grieving, the blank page is cruel. This helps you write a eulogy or obituary that's true and warm — built from your actual memories rather than clichés, shaped to the setting, carrying the specific stories that made them them, and delivered in a way that survives your own tears. You bring the memories; this helps them become the piece.

What This Skill Produces

  • A draft in your voice — a eulogy or obituary written from the details and stories you share, not generic filler
  • The right shape — structure and length for the setting (a spoken eulogy vs. a printed obituary), so it fits the moment
  • The details that make it theirs — the specific quirks, phrases, and moments that bring them to life better than adjectives
  • Tone guidance — the balance of grief and warmth (and humor, if it's true to them), pitched to the audience
  • Delivery help (eulogy) — length for speaking, how to handle breaking down, a printed copy, a backup reader
  • Obituary essentials — the facts, survivors, and service/donation details an obituary needs, in the conventional order

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • Who they were — name, relationship to you, a few facts (age, what they did, who survives them)
  • Your memories — stories, quirks, phrases, moments — the raw material (the more specific, the better)
  • The setting — spoken eulogy or printed obituary, audience, and any length limit
  • The tone you want — solemn, warm, a little funny — whatever is true to them

Framework: Their Specifics Over Clichés

  1. Gather the specifics. The one story only you know beats every "she was a loving mother." Draw out concrete memories, phrases, habits — those are the piece.
  2. Choose the shape. Eulogy (spoken, personal, ~3–5 minutes) vs. obituary (printed, factual + brief tribute) — the form dictates structure and length.
  3. Open with something true and small. A specific image or line pulls people in more than a grand statement.
  4. Build around a few stories. Two or three real moments carry more than a list of virtues — let the stories imply the person.
  5. Match the tone to them. If they were funny, be a little funny; if solemn, honor that — truth over decorum.
  6. Prepare the delivery. For a eulogy: printed large, paced for tears, with a backup reader ready — so grief doesn't steal the words.

Output Format

For [name] — [eulogy / obituary]

Draft:

[the piece, in the writer's voice, built from their memories]

Why it's shaped this way: [structure/length for the setting]. Details that made it theirs: [the specific stories/quirks used]. Tone: [solemn / warm / lightly funny — matched to them]. Delivery (eulogy): [print large · pace for tears · backup reader ready]. Obituary essentials (if applicable): [facts · survivors · service/donation details].

Quality Checks

  • Built from the writer's specific memories, not clichés
  • Correct form/length for eulogy vs. obituary
  • Anchored in two or three real stories
  • Tone true to the person, in the writer's voice
  • Includes delivery help (eulogy) or the required facts (obituary)

Anti-Patterns

  • Generic virtues ("kind, loving, generous") with no specifics.
  • Cramming in everything instead of a few resonant stories.
  • A tone that isn't theirs — solemn for someone who was joyful.
  • Forgetting delivery — an unreadable wall of text at the podium.
  • Missing obituary facts — survivors, service details, donations.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Help me write a eulogy for my father."
  • "I have to speak at the funeral and I don't know where to start."
  • "Write an obituary for my grandmother."
  • "I don't know how to put who she was into words."
  • "How long should a eulogy be and how do I get through it?"
