Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00090 | $0.01016 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00045 | $0.00508 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00203 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00102 |
Grade A, and why
ring:applying-voice-and-tone 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 7d 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.

Voice and Tone Guidelines
When to use
- Need to check voice and tone compliance
- Writing new documentation
- Reviewing existing documentation for style
Skip when
- Only checking structure → use ring:structuring-documentation
- Only checking technical accuracy → use docs-reviewer agent

Write the way you work: with confidence, clarity, and care. Good documentation sounds like a knowledgeable colleague helping you solve a problem.
Core Tone Principles
Assertive, But Never Arrogant
Say what needs to be said, clearly and without overexplaining.
✅ Core one uses a microservices architecture, which allows each component to be self-sufficient and easily scalable.
❌ Core one might use what some people call a microservices architecture, which could potentially allow components to be somewhat self-sufficient.
Encouraging and Empowering
Guide users to make progress, especially when things get complex.
✅ This setup isn't just technically solid; it's built for real-world use. You can add new components as needed without disrupting what's already in place.
❌ This complex setup requires careful understanding of multiple systems before you can safely make changes.
Tech-Savvy, But Human
Talk to developers, not at them. Use technical terms when needed, but prioritize clarity.
✅ Each Account is linked to exactly one Asset type.
❌ The Account entity maintains a mandatory one-to-one cardinality with the Asset entity.
Humble and Open
Be confident in your solutions but always assume there's more to learn.
✅ As Core one evolves, new fields and tables may be added.
❌ The system is complete and requires no further development.
The Golden Rule
Write like you're helping a smart colleague who just joined the team.
This colleague is: Technical and can handle complexity, new to this system, busy and appreciates efficiency, capable of learning quickly with guidance.
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.

ring:applying-voice-and-tone is a skill published in the GitHub repository LerianStudio/ring (211 stars, last pushed 21d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 90 tokens to every session and 1,016 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
Other skills, from other repositories
calibration
Internal dynos-work skill. Agent calibration — generates project-specific agents, benchmarks them, promotes/demotes based on performance, and manages auditor mode transitions. Runs only when the user explicitly types /dynos-work:calibration; never auto-triggered from conversation.
maintain
Internal dynos-work skill. Autonomous maintenance worker. Scans the repo for technical debt, security anti-patterns, and architectural drift; on a finding it creates a repair branch, implements the fix, verifies with audits/tests, and opens a Pull Request. Runs only when the user explicitly types /dynos-work:maintain…
ds-brief
Data-backed brief — research, source, double-verify, and render a visually rich single-file HTML report. Use when the user wants a sourced, fact-checked brief or report on a topic.
ds-ship
Ship orchestrator — classify the project, pick a mode (improve/release/launch/maintain), delegate only the skills the project's signals justify, consolidate findings, produce an audit report. Use for an end-to-end audit or ship pipeline across multiple skills.
ds-test
Universal test skill — generate, update, run, and fix tests for any stack. Use when writing, repairing, or running tests, or improving coverage.
local
Internal dynos-work skill. Manage the project daemon: start, stop, status, logs, run-once, dashboard. Runs only when the user explicitly types /dynos-work:local; never auto-triggered from conversation.
