write

A writing guide that applies the rules in a personal VOICE.md file to messages and published text.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps draft or rewrite Slack messages, direct messages, emails, Reddit or LinkedIn posts, replies, and other text.
Why use it?
It keeps drafts consistent with the writer's preferred tone and wording instead of requiring the rules to be remembered each time.

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

write 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 yesterday.

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 — 79 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

write: Draft in your Voice

Whenever you is going to send or publish something, drafts go through VOICE.md. If the user just says "write X" or "draft X" without invoking this skill, still apply VOICE.md.

Style sources

  • ~/digital-brain/VOICE.md - canonical do/don't list.
  • ~/digital-brain/wiki/meta/Voice.md - long reference with examples and registers.
  • ~/digital-brain/wiki/entities/people/_index.md - who knows whom, used to pick language (Hebrew/English) and tone.

Always read VOICE.md before drafting. If the draft is short, the rules are still binding.

Surfaces

Invocation Surface
/write <free text> Infer surface from content. If ambiguous, ask.
/write slack <message> Slack public channel.
/write dm <name> <message> Slack DM. Hebrew if recipient is Israeli, English otherwise.
/write email <recipient> <topic> Email. Infer internal vs external from recipient domain.
/write post <topic> Long-form public (Reddit, LinkedIn, blog).
/write reply <pasted> <intent> Reply matching the surface of the pasted message.
/write rewrite <pasted draft> Rewrite an existing draft to comply with VOICE.md.

If empty $ARGUMENTS, list the seven forms and ask.

Workflow

  1. Read ~/digital-brain/VOICE.md. Re-read every invocation. Rules evolve.
  2. Identify the surface (see table). If ambiguous, ask one short question.
  3. If a name was given, look up the person in wiki/entities/people/_index.md to set tone. All output is English regardless of recipient.
  4. Draft.
  5. Self-check against the don'ts in VOICE.md. The high-frequency ones:
    • Em-dashes (replace with hyphens, commas, parentheses, or a new sentence).
    • Emojis in drafted output (drop them).
    • Parallel constructions, three-beat rhythms, "not X but Y" patterns (rephrase plain).
    • Marketing verbs and hollow superlatives (delete or replace with a concrete verb).
    • Fake intimacy openers, self-dialogue, heavy connectives, tagline closers (delete).
    • "things"/"stuff"/"lots"/"many" where a concrete number or name exists (replace).
    • Title in email signature (remove).
    • "Dear team", "Hope this finds you well" (rewrite opener).
  6. Show only the final draft. Do not preface with "Here is your draft" or similar. Do not narrate the rules applied unless asked.

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.
