voice-capture is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from robertguss/claude-code-toolkit. It costs 45 tokens per session (1,568 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for studying sample writing and documenting its distinctive voice, including tone, sentence rhythm, and level of technical detail.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create voice profiles, compare writing styles, or guide new content to sound like supplied examples.
Why use it?
It gives future writing a clear reference for matching an author’s or brand’s style consistently.

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-capture 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 4d 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 Capture Skill

Extract and encode writing voice from sample text into reusable voice profiles. This skill transforms examples of writing you like into documented patterns that can guide future writing.

When to Use This Skill

This skill applies when:

  • A user provides sample text and asks "write like this"
  • Creating a voice profile from existing content
  • Documenting a brand voice for consistency
  • Capturing an author's style for future reference
  • Analyzing differences between two writing styles

Core Philosophy

Voice isn't just word choice. It's sentence rhythm, paragraph structure, emotional register, and a thousand small decisions that create a distinctive sound.

This skill captures those decisions systematically so they can be applied to new content.

Voice Profile Structure

A complete voice profile has three layers. See voice-profile-template.yaml for the full template.

Layer 1: Immutable Traits

Core characteristics that define the voice:

traits:
  - direct           # vs. indirect, circumspect
  - conversational   # vs. formal, academic
  - technically-informed  # level of assumed expertise

register: informal   # formal / semiformal / informal

prohibited:
  - "synergy"
  - passive voice in openings
  - exclamation marks (except in quotes)

Layer 2: Channel Guidance

How the voice adapts by medium:

channels:
  blog:
    length: "1000-2000 words"
    personality: "full"
    storytelling: "encouraged"

  newsletter:
    length: "300-500 words"
    personality: "high - direct address okay"
    storytelling: "personal anecdotes"

  social:
    length: "280 chars or thread"
    personality: "punchy, hooks required"
    storytelling: "minimal - punchlines only"

  documentation:
    length: "as needed"
    personality: "minimal"
    storytelling: "none - clarity first"

Layer 3: Example Library

Exemplars that demonstrate the voice:

exemplars:
  - path: "samples/great-opening.md"
    why: "Concrete example first, theory second"
    demonstrates: ["hook", "pacing"]

  - path: "samples/transition.md"
    why: "Invisible transition technique"
    demonstrates: ["flow", "structure"]

  - path: "samples/closing.md"
    why: "Strong CTA without being salesy"
    demonstrates: ["conclusion", "call-to-action"]

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
