## What it does

The skill drafts a brand voice guide with a register, a tone spectrum, and phrases to avoid. It also creates before-and-after examples drawn only from the brand’s own published material, so you’ll need samples for that work. A separate section sets naming rules for products, features, and tiers, with approved and banned terms.

It flags claims that need sources and prepares the voice and naming rules for review by narrative-registry. The skill does not write finished copy or judge whether product and comparative claims are true. Those tasks need a separate process.
