In plain words
What is it for?
It is for recording voice rules, adding career facts, and comparing your documented style with patterns in past writing.
Why use it?

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • medium Rogue Agent · line 77
    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.
  • medium Excessive Agency · line 93
    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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-update 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 9d 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 — 235 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Voice update

Source of truth: context/voice-and-style.md and context/about-me.md. This skill is the only writer to those files; every update flows through it.

What this skill does

Three sources behind one skill. Each source pulls voice / identity information from a different upstream, but all flow into the same downstream (proposed diffs to the two context files):

Source Reads Use when
manual One dictated rule, paragraph, or fact from the user User just noticed something about their voice and wants to capture it now
memory Claude Code auto-memory dir (~/.claude/projects/<slug>/memory/) Periodic batch pull — what has Claude learned about my style across recent sessions?
sent-mail Last 20-50 sent Gmail messages via the connected Gmail MCP Audit voice files against ground truth — how do you actually write vs how you claim to

--source is required. There is no default — the three sources have different scopes and contracts, and picking automatically would hide the trade-off.

How to invoke

/voice-update --source manual "save this rule: I never use 'leverage' as a verb"
/voice-update --source memory
/voice-update --source sent-mail
/voice-update --source sent-mail last 2 weeks

Universal rules (apply to all three sources)

These rules govern every voice-update operation, regardless of source.

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.
