What it does
Voice Apply is an agent skill from jmagly/aiwg. Apply a voice profile to transform content. Use when the user asks to write in a specific voice, match a tone, or sound like a particular voice profile.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/voice-dimensions.md` and `scripts/voice_loader.py`).
It sits in Writing & Content, covering Brand voice and tone. The repository describes itself as: Cognitive architecture for AI-augmented software development. Specialized agents, structured workflows, and multi-platform deployment. Claude Code · Codex · Copilot · Cursor ·… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks to write in a specific voice
- Sound like a particular voice profile
Example prompts
- “/voice-apply”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit dda238f. 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
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python
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
Voice Apply loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 787 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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Voice Apply Skill
Local writing and participating consumer recipes
Use author-controlled writing workflows for the
actual aiwg writing plan and aiwg writing proofread commands, channel APIs,
bounded revision, explicit learning, scoped MCP resources and separate receipts.
Planning creates a structured artifact; proofreading applies exact listed
author-authorized corrections without a model or voice rewrite. A selected mode
is not an applied transformation. Unsupported consumers use explicit instruction
exports; never claim every provider response is intercepted. Keep original text
and unresolved review decisions recoverable. Publication controls remain with
the user's existing workflow.
Reviewed voice application
For model-driven voice transformation, use the packaged criticism/correction flow and output impact guide. The selected development lane uses one Astra draw and at most one correction with the primary session as reviewer. Neutral analytical packets are required; private author provenance stays outside generator and corrector context. Preserve the original unless a hash-bound review accepts both fidelity and cadence. This does not change deterministic proofread-only behavior or qualify all channels.
Brief and fidelity contract
For author-controlled writing, prepare a structured writing brief before generating prose. Record reader task, supported propositions, limitations, intended action and approved author notes. Missing first-person experiences or design rationale are editorial gaps; do not invent them. Keep evidence strength independent of voice. Proofread-only applies selected authorized correction IDs to the original source; other operations expose explicit permissions and lineage for downstream execution.
Run fidelity checks after every final structure/presentation pass. Uncertain paraphrases require review. Preserve the original on configured fallback and report attempted versus retained changes outside product prose. Automated literal guards are not semantic proof.
Purpose
Transform content to match a specified voice profile. This skill loads voice profiles and applies their characteristics (tone, vocabulary, structure, perspective) to new or existing content.
Evidence constraints are recorded in the natural voice ownership ADR and versioned ledger. Treat phrase highlights as contextual editorial suggestions, never authorship probabilities. Preserve supplied facts, uncertainty and author intent; an assertive tone does not strengthen evidence. Author notes were already part of the cited post-editing study. Neither topic-matched examples nor a fixed example count is established as a universally best choice. The ledger is an evidence contract, not a claim that the planned natural voice pipeline has been qualified.
When This Skill Applies
- User asks to "write in X voice" or "use Y tone"
- User wants to "make this sound more [casual/formal/technical/etc.]"
- User provides content and asks to transform its style
- User references a voice profile by name
- User wants content to match a specific audience or context
Trigger Phrases
| Natural Language | Action |
|---|---|
| "Write this in technical voice" | Apply technical-authority profile |
| "Make it more casual" | Apply casual-conversational or calibrate toward casual |
| "This needs to sound executive" | Apply executive-brief profile |
| "Explain like I'm a beginner" | Apply friendly-explainer profile |
| "Use the [profile-name] voice" | Load and apply named profile |
| "Transform this to match [example]" | Analyze example, apply derived voice |

- Project:
.aiwg/voices/ - User:
~/.config/aiwg/voices/ - Built-in:
voice-framework/voices/templates/
Built-in Voice Profiles
| Profile | Description | Best For |
|---|---|---|
technical-authority | Direct, precise, confident | Docs, architecture, engineering |
friendly-explainer | Approachable, encouraging | Tutorials, onboarding, education |
executive-brief | Concise, outcome-focused | Business cases, stakeholder comms |
casual-conversational | Relaxed, personal | Blog posts, social, newsletters |
Application Process
1. Load Voice Profile
# Load from YAML
profile = load_voice_profile("technical-authority")2. Analyze Source Content (if transforming)
- Current tone characteristics
- Vocabulary patterns
- Structure patterns
- Gap analysis vs target voice
3. Apply Voice Characteristics
Tone Calibration:
- Adjust formality level (word choice, contractions)
- Preserve evidence strength and all required hedging; adjust expression only
- Set warmth (clinical vs personable)
- Tune energy (measured vs enthusiastic)
Vocabulary Transformation:
- Replace words per
prefer/avoidguidance - Introduce domain terminology naturally
- Use characteristic phrasing only where natural and supported; never insert signatures mechanically
Structure Adjustment:
- Modify sentence length distribution
- Adjust paragraph breaks
- Reorganize supported material within edit permissions; do not invent examples or analogies that add claims
Perspective Shift:
- Adjust narrative person (I, we, you, they)
- Preserve supported opinions and attribution; do not invent a viewpoint
- Set reader relationship tone
4. Verify Authenticity Markers
Check these properties only when supported by the source; never invent them to satisfy a profile:
- Acknowledges uncertainty (if specified)
- Shows tradeoffs (if specified)
- Uses specific numbers (if specified)
- References constraints (if specified)
Usage Examples
Apply Named Voice
User: "Write release notes in technical-authority voice"
Process:
1. Load technical-authority.yaml
2. Generate release notes with:
- Precise technical terminology
- Specific version numbers
- Direct, confident statements
- Tradeoff acknowledgments where relevantTransform Existing Content
User: "Make this documentation more friendly for beginners"
Input: "The API endpoint accepts a JSON payload containing the requisite parameters..."
Process:
1. Load friendly-explainer.yaml
2. Analyze: formal, technical, passive
3. Transform to: casual, accessible, active
Output: "To use this endpoint, send it some JSON with the info it needs..."Calibrate Voice
User: "This is too formal, dial it back 30%"
Process:
1. Identify current formality (~0.8)
2. Calculate target (0.8 - 0.3 = 0.5)
3. Adjust vocabulary and structure for medium formalityVoice Blending
Combine multiple profiles:
User: "Write this with 70% technical-authority and 30% friendly-explainer"
Process:
1. Load both profiles
2. Weighted merge:
- tone.formality: 0.7 * 0.7 + 0.3 * 0.3 = 0.58
- tone.warmth: 0.7 * 0.3 + 0.3 * 0.8 = 0.45
- etc.
3. Apply merged profileScript Reference
voice_loader.py
Load and validate voice profiles:
python scripts/voice_loader.py --profile technical-authorityvoice_analyzer.py
Analyze content against voice profile:
python scripts/voice_analyzer.py --content input.md --profile technical-authorityIntegration
Works with:
/voice-applycommand for explicit invocation/voice-createcommand for generating new profiles- SDLC templates (apply appropriate voice per artifact type)
- Marketing templates (brand voice consistency)
Output Format
When reporting voice application:
Voice Applied: technical-authority
Transformations:
- Formality: 0.4 → 0.7 (increased)
- Evidence strength: unchanged; original qualifications retained
- Vocabulary: 12 replacements
- Structure: reordered supported clauses within approved edit scope

✓ Acknowledges tradeoffs
✓ Uses specific numbers
✓ References constraintsReferences
