voice-analysisExtract and document a writer's distinctive voice patterns for consistent reproduction.
Voice Analysis is an agent skill from jwynia/agent-skills. Extract and document a writer's distinctive voice patterns for consistent reproduction. Use when you need to capture writing voice, analyze writing style, create a voice guide, or write in someone's established style. Keywords: voice, tone, style, writing analysis, fingerprint.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.6k 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. The licence is MIT.
8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e02ec7e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
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.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Voice Analysis loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,155 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.
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.

.claude/skills/voice-analysis/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).Extract and document a writer's distinctive voice patterns for consistent reproduction. Creates a "voice guide" that enables authentic writing that sounds like the source, not a generic approximation.
Capture spirit, not just mechanics. The goal is writing that makes the source say "yes, that's me" not "I guess that's accurate."
Peak Voice - Writing they identify as "most them"
Off-Voice - Writing that doesn't represent them well
Different Contexts:
Rewrite Exercise: Ask: "Rewrite this neutral paragraph in your voice:"
"The new policy will be implemented next month. It includes several changes to current procedures. Employees should review documentation and submit questions by the deadline."
Rule Breaking: "What writing 'rules' do you consistently ignore? Why?"
Pet Peeves: "What writing choices immediately signal something wasn't written by you?"
Evolution: "How has your writing changed in 5 years? What stayed constant?"

The writer positions as:
In 2-3 sentences, capture the essence:
A piece captures this voice when: 1. 2. 3.
Definitely NOT this voice when: 1. 2. 3.
Before finalizing the voice guide:
[Single paragraph essence]
When writing has gone generic, add: 1. 2. 3.
Once the voice guide is complete, include relevant sections in the prompt to guide generation toward authentic voice reproduction.
Writers can use this framework to understand their own voice, identify what makes their writing distinctive, and consciously apply those patterns.
Use the voice guide as a checklist when editing to ensure consistency and authenticity.
Pattern: Cataloging every linguistic feature without understanding what makes the voice feel distinctive. Why it fails: A perfect inventory of word frequencies and sentence lengths can produce writing that's technically accurate but feels like a parody. Voice is gestalt, not components. Fix: Start from "what makes this voice feel like this?" Work backward to mechanics. The inventory serves understanding; understanding doesn't emerge from inventory alone.
Pattern: Analyzing voice from one type of writing, then applying it to all contexts. Why it fails: Writers shift voice across contexts. Technical writing voice differs from casual email voice. Capturing one context and forcing it everywhere creates uncanny artifacts. Fix: Sample across contexts. Map how voice shifts. Include context-switching rules in the voice guide. Understand which elements are constant vs. context-dependent.
Pattern: If they use em-dashes 8% of the time, the voice guide prescribes 8% em-dash usage. Why it fails: Frequency is a statistical average, not a style rule. Forced frequency creates awkward placement. Natural writers don't count punctuation. Fix: Understand when they use em-dashes, not how often. "Uses em-dashes for dramatic interjections, rarely for lists" is actionable. "8% em-dashes" is not.
Pattern: Voice-guided writing that feels like someone doing an impression—technically accurate but overperformed. Why it fails: Distinctive features become tics when isolated. Real voice balances distinctive and neutral. Guides that catalog only distinctive features produce caricature. Fix: Include neutral baseline alongside distinctive features. Most sentences should sound natural, with distinctive features emerging at appropriate moments, not constantly.
Pattern: Treating the voice guide as permanent, not updating as the writer evolves. Why it fails: Writers change. A voice guide from 2020 may not fit 2025 writing. Using outdated guides produces writing that feels like an old version of the person. Fix: Note the capture date. Plan periodic updates. Include the writer's own reflections on how their voice has evolved. Treat the guide as living documentation.

Extract and document a writer's distinctive voice patterns for consistent reproduction. Voice Analysis is an agent skill from jwynia/agent-skills. Extract and document a writer's distinctive voice patterns for consistent reproduction.
Voice Analysis fits situations like: you need to capture writing voice; analyze writing style; create a voice guide; write in someones established style.
Run `npx skills add jwynia/agent-skills --skill voice-analysis -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/general/writing/analysis/voice-analysis in jwynia/agent-skills) into .claude/skills/voice-analysis in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add jwynia/agent-skills --skill voice-analysis -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/general/writing/analysis/voice-analysis in jwynia/agent-skills) into .agents/skills/voice-analysis in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add jwynia/agent-skills --skill voice-analysis -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/voice-analysis, .gemini/skills/voice-analysis, .github/skills/voice-analysis and .opencode/skills/voice-analysis in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Voice Analysis is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Voice Analysis is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.6k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 11k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Voice Analysis: Avoid AI Writing (conorbronsdon/avoid-ai-writing, 4.9k stars), Brand (Ohh-889/skyroc, 795 stars), Khazix WeChat Article Writer (KKKKhazix/khazix-skills, 21k stars) and Writing Guidelines (vercel-labs/agent-skills, 32k stars).
