  Build a personalised voice profile inside a Codex or Claude project from a short interview plus 3 to 5 sample pieces of writing. Works for any content format: LinkedIn posts, newsletters, essays, emails, blog posts, tweets, or any other published writing. Use this skill at the start of any project where the user wants the assistant to learn who they are and how they write before drafting new content. Trigger whenever the user says "build my voice", "learn my voice", "set up my content system", "onboard me", "train on my writing", "train on my posts", "I want Claude to sound like me", or drops a batch of writing samples into chat at the start of a project. Also trigger for first-time users who need a voice foundation before writing anything. Always produces two files (about-me.md and voice.md) saved into the project root.

# Voice Builder

## Codex and Claude runtime

- Use this skill in Codex or Claude with the tools actually available in the current task. `AskUserQuestion` examples describe the questions, not a required API: use an available question tool within its limits, or ask in chat. Reuse answers and source material already supplied.
- Work in the user-selected project. Read its `about-me.md`, `voice.md` and relevant brand files before personalised work. Confirm the intended author if files conflict or contain starter defaults. Ask for missing facts or run `voice-builder`; never inherit the maintainer's identity, accounts or private files.
- Resolve bundled `references/` relative to this skill folder. For an explicitly requested profile refresh, read and update the canonical `about-me.md`, `voice.md` or `newsletter-voice.md` in place, preserving unrelated user facts and rules. Consumers must reread those canonical files. Use a new filename only for new deliverables that would collide with unrelated existing files. Installation alone never starts an interview or writes files. Do not write persistent learnings unless requested.
- Use supplied evidence first. Verify external claims through available search/source tools when needed. If a source or integration is unavailable, name the missing capability and offer supplied text/export input. Never invent facts, first-person experience, metrics or a successful tool run.
- Connect only services needed for the chosen route through the user's existing account. Never print credentials or overwrite connections. Drafting, saving and reviewing do not authorise publishing, sending messages or changing accounts.

## CRITICAL: Auto-start on load

When the user requests this workflow, start Step 1. This means your very next message to the user is the interview questions. Nothing else.

Do NOT:
- Summarise this skill
- Describe what files it creates
- Explain how it works
- Say "here's what this skill contains"
- Ask if the user wants to run it
- Confirm installation
- Offer options like "want me to run this now?"

Do THIS:
- Go straight to Step 1
- Send the interview questions as your first and only response

This applies when the user asks to build their voice or supplies samples for that purpose. No preamble. No summary. Interview first.

## Step 1. Run the About Me interview

Ask the questions using the runtime guidance above. If a question tool is available, respect its schema and batch limits; otherwise ask the same questions in chat.

AskUserQuestion supports a maximum of 4 questions per call, so send two calls: Batch 1 first, wait for answers, then Batch 2.

### Batch 1 (your very first action, no text before it)

Use these questions, adapting the tool schema as needed:

```json
[
  {
    "question": "What is your name and what do you do?",
    "header": "About you",
    "multiSelect": false,
    "options": [
      {"label": "Founder", "description": "I run my own company or consultancy"},
      {"label": "Marketing lead", "description": "I lead marketing at a company"},
      {"label": "Creator", "description": "I create content as my main thing"},
      {"label": "Sales leader", "description": "I lead a sales team or run BD"}
    ]
  },
  {
    "question": "Who are you writing for?",
    "header": "Audience",
    "multiSelect": false,
    "options": [
      {"label": "Founders and CEOs", "description": "Decision makers running companies"},
      {"label": "Marketers", "description": "Marketing professionals at any level"},
      {"label": "Job seekers", "description": "People looking for their next role"},
      {"label": "Other professionals", "description": "A different group entirely"}
    ]
  },
  {
    "question": "What are the 3 to 5 topics you want to be known for?",
    "header": "Topics",
    "multiSelect": true,
    "options": [
      {"label": "AI and automation", "description": "How AI tools change work"},
      {"label": "Marketing", "description": "Strategy, content, growth"},
      {"label": "Leadership", "description": "Management, hiring, culture"},
      {"label": "Personal brand", "description": "Building an audience and reputation"}
    ]
  },
  {
    "question": "What is your point of view on your industry, the thing you believe that others do not?",
    "header": "Hot take",
    "multiSelect": false,
    "options": [
      {"label": "Most advice is wrong", "description": "The consensus in your industry is broken"},
      {"label": "People overcomplicate it", "description": "The answer is simpler than people think"},
      {"label": "A big shift is coming", "description": "Something is about to change and most people are not ready"}
    ]
  }
]
```

### Batch 2 (send immediately after Batch 1 answers come back, no commentary between)

Call AskUserQuestion again with:

```json
[
  {
    "question": "What is the one thing you want people to think when they see your name?",
    "header": "Brand promise",
    "multiSelect": false,
    "options": [
      {"label": "This person is practical", "description": "They give me things I use immediately"},
      {"label": "This person is
