voice-style

This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a style sheet", "style guide", "house style", "keep the voice consistent", "voice drift", "British or American spelling", "character voices", "lint the prose", "prose check", "filter words", "said-bookisms", "overused words", "repeated phrases", "similar character names", "voice fingerprints", or wants to record and enforce the voice and surface conventions of a story project. NOT for rewriting dialogue to make the voices distinct when everyone sounds the same (use line-editing), or a character's profile or arc (use character-management).

# Voice & Style

## Overview

Record the book's voice and surface conventions in `style-sheet.md`, then
enforce them. The style sheet is the copyeditor's record: dialect and
spelling choices, capitalisation, hyphenation, numbers, dialogue
punctuation, a one-line voice summary per major speaker, and a watch list.
Its frontmatter is machine-readable, and `story prose` counts violations
and prose tics in every chapter. Use this skill so voice stays the same
across chapters, drafting sessions, and agents.
