Voice & Style Guidelines Skill

When to Use

  • Reviewing copy for tone consistency.
  • Localizing copy for new regions or verticals.
  • Training new writers or agencies on brand standards.

Framework

  1. Voice Pillars – e.g., confident, empathetic, pragmatic (with examples).
  2. Tone Ladder – how tone shifts by channel, funnel stage, or audience.
  3. Style Rules – grammar, punctuation, casing, formatting, banned phrases.
  4. Accessibility – reading level, inclusive language, jargon policy.
  5. Localization Notes – regional terminology, regulatory statements, measurement units.

Templates

  • Do/Don’t example library.
  • Localization matrix (region, language, required changes).
  • Voice feedback form (issue, recommendation, owner).

Tips

  • Revisit guidelines quarterly; align with positioning updates.
  • Pair with message-architecture for consistent structure.
  • Track exceptions (e.g., partner co-branding) to avoid conflicting signals.

Pptx

Use this skill any time a .pptx file is involved in any way — as input, output, or both. This includes: creating slide decks, pitch decks, or presentations; reading, parsing, or extracting text from any .pptx file (even if the extracted content will be used elsewhere, like in an email or summary); editing, modifying, or updating existing presentations; combining or splitting slide files; working with templates, layouts, speaker notes, or comments. Trigger whenever the user mentions "deck," "slides," "presentation," or references a .pptx filename, regardless of what they plan to do with the content afterward. If a .pptx file needs to be opened, created, or touched, use this skill.
