ECC: Skill for Codex

.agents/skills/brand-voice/SKILL.md

brand-voice is a skill for Codex from affaan-m/ECC. It costs 53 tokens per session (775 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A process for describing a writer's style from real examples such as posts, essays, launch notes, emails, or website copy. The resulting profile can guide writing across different channels.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create content, outreach, social posts, product updates, or emails that follow an existing founder's or brand's voice.
Why use it?
It reduces inconsistent tone and avoids generic AI-sounding copy. Writers can reuse a documented style instead of analysing the source material from scratch each time.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is affaan-m/ECC's own configuration. It tells Codex how to work on ECC itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything ECC configures →

About the project

ECC is a toolkit that organizes and improves how coding agents work through skills, memory, security checks, research practices, and related extensions. It is for developers using agents such as Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Cursor.

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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 97 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Brand Voice

Build a durable voice profile from real source material, then use that profile everywhere instead of re-deriving style from scratch or defaulting to generic AI copy.

When to Activate

  • the user wants content or outreach in a specific voice
  • writing for X, LinkedIn, email, launch posts, threads, or product updates
  • adapting a known author's tone across channels
  • the existing content lane needs a reusable style system instead of one-off mimicry

Source Priority

Use the strongest real source set available, in this order:

  1. recent original X posts and threads
  2. articles, essays, memos, launch notes, or newsletters
  3. real outbound emails or DMs that worked
  4. product docs, changelogs, README framing, and site copy

Do not use generic platform exemplars as source material.

Collection Workflow

  1. Gather 5 to 20 representative samples when available.
  2. Prefer recent material over old material unless the user says the older writing is more canonical.
  3. Separate "public launch voice" from "private working voice" if the source set clearly splits.
  4. If live X access is available, use x-api to pull recent original posts before drafting.
  5. If site copy matters, include the current ECC landing page and repo/plugin framing.

What to Extract

  • rhythm and sentence length
  • compression vs explanation
  • capitalization norms
  • parenthetical use
  • question frequency and purpose
  • how sharply claims are made
  • how often numbers, mechanisms, or receipts show up
  • how transitions work
  • what the author never does

Output Contract

Produce a reusable VOICE PROFILE block that downstream skills can consume directly. Use the schema in references/voice-profile-schema.md.

Keep the profile structured and short enough to reuse in session context. The point is not literary criticism. The point is operational reuse.

Affaan / ECC Defaults

If the user wants Affaan / ECC voice and live sources are thin, start here unless newer source material overrides it:

Changes

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.
