What it does
Copy Style Guide is an agent skill from canonical/canonical.com. Canonical copy style guide covering brand voice/tone, US spelling, capitalization, product naming conventions (Ubuntu Pro, Ubuntu Core, etc.), inclusive language, punctuation, and words/phrases to avoid.

Its SKILL.md is about 8.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Writing & Content, covering Brand voice and tone and Blog and article writing. The repository describes itself as: Repository for the new version of canonical.com.
When your agent uses it
- Reviewing any user-facing copy on ubuntu.com
- Canonical.com - page text
- Form labels - to check tone and wording match Canonicals voice and naming conventions
Example prompts
- “/copy-style-guide”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f91943c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
docs.google.comdocumentation.ubuntu.comsnapcraft.ioen.wikipedia.org
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Copy Style Guide loads about 8.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 114 tokens; SKILL.md has 4,711 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 4,711 words (~8,366 tokens).
“This is the Canonical copy style guide — the source of truth for voice, tone, grammar, formatting, and naming conventions used across all Canonical communications.”
