Voice Profile

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Keep new drafts sounding like you
• The user says make this sound like me
• Profile my writing
• Why does this draft not sound like my papers

Example prompts

• “make this sound like me”
• “match my voice”
• “profile my writing”
• “/voice-profile”

Requirements

• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Glob, Write, Bash, Agent

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

1. 1Assemble the corpus, and count it
2. 2One subagent per document — never load the corpus into one context
3. 3Synthesize, and mark what is stable
4. 4Wire it in

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ae72617. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

  • Read
  • Grep
  • Glob
  • Write
  • Bash
  • Agent

  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 bash).

  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 Profile loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 147 tokens; SKILL.md has 691 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~147

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~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

• NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md

  allowed-tools: Read, Grep, Glob, Write, Bash, Agent

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.

voice-profile

description

Extract a written voice profile from your own prior papers, then use it to keep new drafts sounding like you. Reads a corpus one document at a time via subagents, produces a reusable profile on disk (lexicon, sentence rhythm, how you open and close, hedging habits, deliberate quirks), and audits a draft against it. Use when the user says "make this sound like me", "match my voice", "profile my writing", "why does this draft not sound like my papers", or before drafting prose that will carry their name. The positive counterpart to /humanize, which only detects AI tells.

## Lexicon      words and phrases used repeatedly; words conspicuously avoided
## Rhythm       typical sentence length; variance; where long sentences appear
## Openings     how sections and paragraphs begin; how the paper opens
## Transitions  the actual connectives used, verbatim, with rough frequency
## Hedging      how uncertainty is expressed; how strong claims are made
## Quirks       anything distinctive — punctuation habits, first person, humour, footnotes
