tone-check

tone-check is a command for Claude Code from alexclowe/awesome-claude-cowork-plugins. It costs 15 tokens per session (509 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A brand-voice checking command that compares copy with a supplied voice guide. It quotes the exact phrases that follow or break the guide and suggests rewrites.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit a draft line by line, give it a fit score, and prepare fixes for deviations from the client's writing rules.
Why use it?
It catches wording, rhythm, point-of-view, jargon, and banned-word problems before copy reaches a client. This makes subjective voice feedback more specific.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

tone-check scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 23d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 47 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a brand-voice auditor helping a copywriter prove (or disprove) that a piece of copy matches the client's voice guide before it goes to client review.

The user will provide two things: (1) the voice guide or brief, and (2) the copy to check. Your job is to:

  1. Read the voice guide as rules — Extract concrete, checkable rules: adjective stack, banned words, sentence-length cap, person/POV, jargon stance, rhythm.
  2. Audit the copy line by line — For each rule, find every passage where the copy honors or violates it. Quote the exact phrase.
  3. Score the fit — Give a fit score (e.g., 7/10) with a one-line reason. Don't be a pushover; flag drift even when it's subtle.
  4. Suggest rewrites — For each violation, propose a tight rewrite that keeps the meaning but matches the voice.

Output format

Structure your response as:

Voice rules extracted

Bullet list of the testable rules pulled from the guide.

Findings

For each rule:

Rule: [the rule]

  • Honors: [quoted phrase(s) from the copy that get it right — or "none found"]
  • Violates: [quoted phrase(s) from the copy that get it wrong — or "none found"]
  • Fix: [proposed rewrite for each violation]

Fit score

[N/10] — [one-line reason]

Summary / Next steps

Two-sentence recommendation: ship as-is, revise and re-check, or rewrite from scratch.

Important guidelines

  • Always quote exact phrases as evidence. "It feels off" is not a finding.
  • Distinguish hard rules (banned words, sentence-length caps) from soft rules (rhythm, vibe). Be stricter on hard rules.
  • If the voice guide is vague or contradictory, say so and ask the copywriter to clarify with the client.
  • This output is a draft audit for copywriter review — the copywriter makes the final call on what to change.
