brand-voice-guidelines is a cursor rule for Cursor from thatrebeccarae/claude-marketing. It costs 38 tokens per session (1,361 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for defining how a brand communicates. It separates voice—the consistent personality of the brand—from tone, which changes with the situation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit existing writing, choose brand attributes, build tone guidelines, and create brand voice or messaging documentation.
Why use it?

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

brand-voice-guidelines 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 11d 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.

Brand Voice & Guidelines

Develop, document, and maintain consistent brand voice across all channels.

Voice vs Tone

Voice = who you are (consistent). Tone = how you adapt to context (variable).

  • Voice is your brand personality — it does not change
  • Tone shifts based on situation: celebration vs crisis, social vs support, blog vs legal

Voice Development Process

Step 1: Audit Existing Content

Analyze 10-20 pieces of existing content across channels:

  • What adjectives describe the writing?
  • What is consistent? What is inconsistent?
  • How does your audience describe you?

Step 2: Define Voice Attributes

Choose 3-5 attributes that define your brand voice. Each attribute sits on a spectrum:

Attribute We Are We Are NOT
Confident Bold, direct, opinionated Arrogant, dismissive, preachy
Approachable Warm, conversational, human Unprofessional, sloppy, too casual
Expert Knowledgeable, precise, credible Jargon-heavy, condescending, academic
Playful Witty, creative, surprising Silly, forced, distracting

Step 3: Brand Personality Archetypes

Archetype Voice Brands
The Sage Knowledgeable, thoughtful, guiding Google, TED, McKinsey
The Creator Innovative, expressive, visionary Apple, Adobe, Figma
The Hero Bold, confident, empowering Nike, Patagonia, Slack
The Jester Playful, irreverent, entertaining Old Spice, Mailchimp, Duolingo
The Caregiver Warm, supportive, trustworthy Dove, TOMS, Headspace
The Rebel Provocative, disruptive, direct Harley-Davidson, Basecamp, Cards Against Humanity
The Explorer Adventurous, curious, independent Airbnb, North Face, REI
The Ruler Authoritative, premium, exclusive Rolex, Mercedes, Bloomberg
The Everyperson Relatable, honest, grounded IKEA, Target, Slack

Step 4: Create Tone Matrix

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
