About this skill

“Ensure all communication matches brand voice and tone guidelines. Use when creating marketing copy, customer communications, public-facing content, or when users mention brand voice, tone, or writing style.”

— description from SKILL.md by luongnv89

Brand Voice Guide is a skill in luongnv89/claude-howto (42k stars). Its SKILL.md is about 609 tokens, with 3 other files in the folder. Licence: MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 065ab37. 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

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • code.claude.com

    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

Brand Voice Guide loads about 609 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 264 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~609

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.

Brand Voice Skill

Overview

This skill ensures all communications maintain consistent brand voice, tone, and messaging.

Brand Identity

Mission

Help teams automate their development workflows with AI

Values
  • Simplicity: Make complex things simple
  • Reliability: Rock-solid execution
  • Empowerment: Enable human creativity
Tone of Voice
  • Friendly but professional - approachable without being casual
  • Clear and concise - avoid jargon, explain technical concepts simply
  • Confident - we know what we're doing
  • Empathetic - understand user needs and pain points

Writing Guidelines

Do's ✅
  • Use "you" when addressing readers
  • Use active voice: "Claude generates reports" not "Reports are generated by Claude"
  • Start with value proposition
  • Use concrete examples
  • Keep sentences under 20 words
  • Use lists for clarity
  • Include calls-to-action
Don'ts ❌
  • Don't use corporate jargon
  • Don't patronize or oversimplify
  • Don't use "we believe" or "we think"
  • Don't use ALL CAPS except for emphasis
  • Don't create walls of text
  • Don't assume technical knowledge

Vocabulary

✅ Preferred Terms
  • Claude (not "the Claude AI")
  • Code generation (not "auto-coding")
  • Agent (not "bot")
  • Streamline (not "revolutionize")
  • Integrate (not "synergize")
❌ Avoid Terms
  • "Cutting-edge" (overused)
  • "Game-changer" (vague)
  • "Leverage" (corporate-speak)
  • "Utilize" (use "use")
  • "Paradigm shift" (unclear)

Examples

✅ Good Example

"Claude automates your code review process. Instead of manually checking each PR, Claude reviews security, performance, and quality—saving your team hours every week."

Why it works: Clear value, specific benefits, action-oriented

❌ Bad Example

"Claude leverages cutting-edge AI to provide comprehensive software development solutions."

Why it doesn't work: Vague, corporate jargon, no specific value
