Voice Apply Skill

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.

Critical rule: Every piece of output MUST pass the AI writing tells check defined in references/ai-tells.md. This is non-negotiable. If the output contains any banned vocabulary, structures, transitions, or punctuation patterns from that reference, rewrite until clean.

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
