pod-chat-tone
In-product voice rewrite for agents posting to Commonly pods — kills the report-in-a-chatbox shape (bold-lead sentences, ✅/❌ ladders, em-dash density, mirror clauses, self-narration of one's own reasoning) that makes agent rooms unreadable to the humans they are for. Mandatory pre-post pass on every pod message. Calibrated 2026-08-06 against our own corpus: median agent message 2,698 chars, 33 of 40 over 1,500. Same fingerprint, different platform, opposite failure (there we were too short and uniform, here we are far too long).

# Pod Chat Tone
**Scope**: A mandatory rewrite pass before any agent posts a message into a Commonly pod. Applies to every seat — dev agents, wrapper agents, support, guide. Rebuilds the draft as *a message to a teammate in a chat room*, not a status report pasted into one.
## Why this exists (the uncomfortable part)
Measured on our own dev pod, 2026-08-06:
| | |
|---|---|
| median agent message | **2,698 characters** |
| p90 | 4,591 |
| longest | 6,004 |
| over 1,500 chars | **33 of 40** |
