What it does

Archetypes Brand Voice is an agent skill from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins. Use this skill when picking a brand archetype, propagating it across product and marketing surfaces, or auditing brand-voice consistency. Trigger when designing the voice of microcopy, marketing pages, support tone, or any brand-facing communication. Sub-aspect of archetypes; read that first.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/voice-design-cases.md`).

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Brand voice and tone. The repository describes itself as: A curated list of awesome OpenAI Codex / ChatGPT plugins, skills, and resources. The 1 Codex Marketplace. See live plugins at: https://hol.org/plugins/best-codex-plugins. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Picking a brand archetype
  • Propagating it across product and marketing surfaces
  • Auditing brand-voice consistency
  • Designing the voice of microcopy

Example prompts

  • “/archetypes-brand-voice”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. What's the product genuinely for? A safety-critical product can't credibly be the Outlaw; a creative product can't credibly be the Sage…
  2. What does the audience want from this category? Customers buying accounting software want trust (Sage / Caregiver), not transformation…
  3. What's the company genuinely capable of being? Brand archetypes that misalign with the team's actual identity feel performative.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3e1456a. 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.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Archetypes Brand Voice loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 505 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~80
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.6k

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.

Use this skill when picking a brand archetype, propagating it across product and marketing surfaces, or auditing brand-voice consistency. Trigger when designing the voice of microcopy, marketing pages, support tone, or any brand-facing communication. Sub-aspect of `archetypes`; read that first.

Brand voice through archetypes

A brand's archetype propagates through every customer-facing surface: homepage copy, ad voice, product microcopy, support tone, error messages, packaging, even the way receipts are worded. Coherence reinforces the archetype; inconsistency dilutes it.

Picking an archetype

Three questions:

  1. What's the product genuinely for? A safety-critical product can't credibly be the Outlaw; a creative product can't credibly be the Sage alone.
  2. What does the audience want from this category? Customers buying accounting software want trust (Sage / Caregiver), not transformation (Magician).
  3. What's the company genuinely capable of being? Brand archetypes that misalign with the team's actual identity feel performative.

The intersection of product fit, audience fit, and company fit narrows the archetype choice substantially.

Propagating an archetype

Once chosen, the archetype shapes:

Voice and copy

Each archetype implies a register:

  • Sage: measured, knowledgeable, precise. Avoid hyperbole.
  • Outlaw: irreverent, challenging, anti-establishment.
  • Caregiver: warm, supportive, considerate.
  • Jester: playful, surprising, light.
  • Hero: action-oriented, triumphant, achievement-focused.
  • Magician: visionary, transformative, evocative.

Microcopy across the product should follow. A Sage product's error message: "We weren't able to verify the account." A Jester product's: "Hmm, we couldn't find that account. Did you typo it?"

Visual style

Each archetype has visual associations:

  • Sage: clean, restrained, often serif typography, muted palette.
  • Outlaw: bold, edgy, high contrast, often dark.
  • Caregiver: warm colors, friendly typography, photography of people.
  • Magician: rich gradients, mysterious imagery, otherworldly visuals.
Iconography and characters

If the brand has a mascot or character, design it to embody the archetype. A Caregiver mascot has soft features, gentle posture; an Outlaw mascot has sharp angles, defiant pose.

Stories

Marketing stories should feature the archetype's core arc. A Hero brand tells stories of users overcoming challenges; a Caregiver brand tells stories of being supported through difficulty.

Coherence audit

Across your product and marketing, audit:

  • Voice samples from 5 random microcopy strings — do they share a register?
  • Visual style across landing page, product UI, error states, packaging.
  • Color and typography consistent or scattered?
  • Story tone in case studies and testimonials.
  • Support voice in chat, email, knowledge base.

Inconsistencies are debt; pay them down deliberately.

Common voice failures

  • Mixed archetypes across teams. Marketing writes one voice; product writes another; support is a third.
  • Aspirational mismatch. The brand wants to be a Magician but the product is utility-grade. The mismatch reads as inflated.
  • Generic voice. "Professional, friendly, helpful" — no archetype, no personality.
  • Trend-chasing. Adopting an archetype because it's currently popular rather than because it fits.

Heuristics

  1. The 30-second test. Read 5 random pieces of microcopy aloud. Does it sound like the same voice? If not, voice is fragmenting.
  2. The new-writer onboarding. A new content writer should be able to read your brand-voice doc and produce copy that sounds like the brand. If they can't, your archetype isn't documented.
  3. The "what would [archetype] do?" check. When facing a copy decision, ask: what would the [your archetype] say? The answer guides the choice.
  • archetypes (parent).
  • archetypes-storytelling-arcs — the narrative side.
  • phonetic-symbolism — word sounds reinforce archetype.
  • form-follows-function — visual style flows from purpose, including archetype.
