Use it to define a brand's writing style, update it from new source material, compare versions, and check whether the document follows the required format.

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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (scripts/extract_rules.py, scripts/lint_all.py, scripts/measure_corpus.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

Important — Writing rules

Apply these rules to emitted prose: docs, comments, commit messages, PR bodies, and release notes.

  • Match surrounding punctuation, capitalization, and formatting.
  • Every sentence changes the reader's understanding. Cut it otherwise.
  • Lead with the action or outcome.
  • Use concrete language and lists when they improve comparison or sequence.
  • Assert positively. Reserve negation for real constraints (NEVER commit secrets).
  • No marketing words: powerful, robust, seamlessly, leverage, unlock, comprehensive, delightful.
  • No AI tells: delve, tapestry, intricate, pivotal, testament, underscore, crucial, garner, showcase, additionally, moreover, furthermore, indeed.
  • For substantive English prose, use /humanize-en if installed with the existing scope and authorization. It adds no approval stage; skip redundant passes over short status text.

Govern BRAND-VOICE.md — the canonical writing voice document for a brand. Two layers: YAML frontmatter (machine-readable normative rules consumed by writing skills) plus eleven prose sections (human-readable rationale). Same split as DESIGN.md and the same design-system skill pattern: a canonical file at the project root, CLI-style subcommands for the lifecycle.

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.
