Your voice is the only thing AI can't fake well. This skill helps you capture it so every piece of content sounds like you.
How It Works
All content skills (/write, /gtm, /pcp-engine, /sales) check for a voice/ directory before writing. If found, they load your guidelines and apply them. If not found, they fall back to generic principles.
voice/
├── default.md ← fallback for any platform
├── twitter.md
├── blog.md
├── newsletter.md
└── linkedin.md
Step 1: Check Current State
ls voice/ 2>/dev/null || echo "No voice/ directory yet"
If no directory exists, offer to scaffold it.
Step 2: Scaffold (if needed)
Create voice/<platform>.md for each platform. Each file uses this structure:
# Voice — [Platform]
## Tone
<!-- How you sound: direct, warm, irreverent, technical, etc. -->
## What I always do
<!-- Patterns that feel natural: short sentences, open loops, specifics -->
## What I never do
<!-- Things that feel wrong: jargon, hedging, corporate speak -->
## Examples
<!-- Paste 2-3 real posts you wrote and liked -->
Start with voice/default.md if you only want one file.
Step 3: Fill It In
Ask the user:
- Tone in one word — how do they want to sound?
- One thing they always do — a writing pattern they're known for
- One thing they hate — what makes them cringe when they read it back
- One real example — a post or paragraph they're proud of
Use their answers to populate the file. Don't paraphrase — use their exact words where possible.
Step 4: Test It
Run /write on something small (a tweet, a paragraph). Ask: does this sound like you? Iterate until it does.
Platforms

Any platform not listed |
twitter.md |
X/Twitter threads and replies |

Add new files for any platform not listed — skills will pick them up automatically.
Anti-Patterns
- Don't describe your ideal voice — describe your actual one. Review real posts you've written.
- Don't overthink tone — one adjective is enough. "Direct" or "warm" beats "I want to be authentic but also strategic."
- Don't skip examples — they're the most useful part. Skills use them as a reference anchor.
