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 10d 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.

Brand Voice

Define how a brand sounds in writing. Document it in a way that anyone (writer, designer, founder, AI assistant) can apply it consistently.

This skill produces a standalone voice document that can either live in the brand style guide or feed into it.


When to use

  • Defining brand voice for the first time
  • Auditing existing copy for voice consistency
  • Training a team, freelancer, or AI assistant on the brand voice
  • Refining a voice that exists but is inconsistent across applications
  • Adapting voice when a brand evolves (new audience, new positioning)

When NOT to use

  • Writing specific copy (use content-and-copy)
  • Brand visual identity work (use brand-identity)
  • Documenting a complete brand system (use brand-style-guide, which incorporates voice)
  • Initial brand exploration (use brand-ideation)

Required inputs

  • The brand and its positioning
  • The audience and what they need to hear
  • 5 to 10 examples of existing brand writing (if any)
  • 3 to 5 reference brands whose voice resonates with where this brand should go
  • Any voice attributes already specified in the brief

The framework: 4 layers

Voice has four layers, stacked. Each layer constrains the one below it.

Layer 1: Voice attributes

The constants. The personality traits that define how the brand sounds across every context.

Pick 3 to 5 attributes. Pair each with what it is NOT (the failure mode if overdone).

Common attribute pairings (NOT a menu - generate your own):

  • Confident, not arrogant
  • Direct, not blunt
  • Warm, not saccharine
  • Witty, not sarcastic
  • Smart, not academic
  • Honest, not harsh
  • Playful, not silly
  • Practical, not boring
  • Bold, not loud
  • Curious, not unfocused

The "not" half is what saves writers from overshooting. "Confident" alone produces swagger. "Confident, not arrogant" tells writers where the line is.

Layer 2: Tone shifts

Voice is constant. Tone adapts to context.

Map the major contexts the brand writes in. For each, document how voice expresses differently.

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.
