SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Brand voice often fragments across teams: marketing writes one register, product microcopy another, and support a third. This Skill provides a structured method for choosing a brand archetype, propagating it consistently across every customer-facing surface, and auditing for voice drift. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Archetype Selection: A three-question framework (product fit, audience fit, company fit) to narrow down the right archetype from the classic set (Sage, Outlaw, Caregiver, Jester, Hero, Magician, and others). - Cross-Surface Propagation: Concrete guidance for how each archetype shapes voice and copy, visual style, iconography and mascots, and marketing stories. - Coherence Audits: A repeatable audit method sampling microcopy, visual style, story tone, and support voice, plus heuristics like the 30-second read-aloud test. - Use Case: A startup rewriting its error messages and onboarding copy can use this Skill to pick a fitting archetype, rewrite off-tone strings, and document a two-page voice guide for new writers. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to audit five random pieces of product microcopy for brand-voice consistency and recommend an archetype that fits the product and audience.

Frequently Asked Questions about archetypes-brand-voice

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I choose a brand archetype for my product?▼

Choose a brand archetype by answering three questions: what the product is genuinely for, what the audience wants from the category, and what the company can credibly embody. The intersection of product fit, audience fit, and company fit narrows the choice substantially.

How do I keep brand voice consistent across product and marketing?▼

Propagate one archetype across voice and copy, visual style, iconography, and stories, then audit regularly. Sample five random microcopy strings, read them aloud, and rewrite any that break the shared register.

What should a brand voice style guide include?▼

A voice guide should cover personality traits, tone variation by context, preferred and avoided words, sentence structure, punctuation conventions, and formality level. A two-page guide is enough for most teams; longer ones rarely get read.

Why does brand voice drift across teams?▼

Voice drifts when marketing, product, and support each write in different registers without a documented archetype. Aspirational mismatch and trend-chasing also cause fragmentation; a shared voice doc and quarterly audits prevent it.

When should a product avoid a playful brand voice?▼

Avoid playful voices like Jester when the product is safety-critical or the category demands trust, such as accounting or healthcare software. A mismatched archetype reads as performative and undermines credibility.
