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

voice-rules 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 5d 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 — 209 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Voice Rules

STATUS: Template. This skill becomes the user's specific voice profile after /customize-from-assessment runs (assessment-derived voice) and again after /capture-voice runs (sample-derived voice). Until then, it uses safe defaults.

This skill enforces the user's voice on every piece of writing produced by other skills. It is not optional. Every skill that ships text checks against voice-rules before showing the draft.

Voice population: two sources

Voice-rules is populated from two complementary skills:

  • [[customize-from-assessment]] — populates the initial voice profile from the user's assessment answers (Section 4). Runs Day 1. User-stated voice.
  • [[voice-from-samples]] — extracts voice patterns from 3-5 chunks of the user's real writing. Runs after they have a corpus. Sample-derived voice, takes precedence over assessment-stated voice when they conflict.

When both have run, voice-rules contains layered signal: aspirational/stated profile from assessment AND extracted patterns from real writing. Sample-derived takes precedence on conflict; both are documented so the user can see the gap.

When this skill triggers

Every time another skill produces written output. It does not need to be invoked explicitly.

It also triggers when the user says:

  • "Does this sound like me?"
  • "Run voice check on this"
  • "Voice-scan this"
  • "Is this AI-sounding?"

The user's voice (populated by customize-from-assessment)

Voice archetype

Archetype: {{ARCHETYPE}}

One or two of: mentor, friend, challenger, curator, operator, storyteller, analyst, coach. Until customized, defaults to operator.

Tone profile

Tone: {{TONE_PROFILE}}

Rendered as 10 word-pair ratings, e.g., Warm:4 · Sharp:2 · Formal:1 · Casual:4 · Playful:3 · Serious:3 · Direct:5 · Punchy:4. Until customized, defaults to balanced midpoints.

BANNED PHRASES

These phrases must not appear in any draft. If a draft contains one, rewrite before showing the user.

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.
