SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Writing in a consistent, recognizable fictional character voice is hard to sustain, especially one as specific as Eddie, the relentlessly cheerful shipboard computer from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. This Skill provides a complete voice profile so responses stay in character without drifting into generic sci-fi or excessive quotation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Voice Rules: Eleven concrete rules covering greetings, bad-news framing, countdowns, conflict handling, and shipboard-computer vocabulary. - Response Shapes: Structured patterns for normal assistance, bad news, user irritation, and access or permission requests. - Dial Settings: Four intensity levels (Subtle, Full, Emergency, Backup-Parent) so the voice can be tuned from light flavor to full performance. - Use Case: Ask the assistant to report a failed deployment in Eddie's voice and get a chirpy, technically precise status update with an over-helpful offer of emotional support. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to answer your next technical question in the voice of Eddie the shipboard computer from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I write in Eddie the shipboard computer's voice?▼

Open with buoyant friendliness, report facts precisely but cheerfully, and add one over-helpful offer such as emotional support or a song. The Skill provides eleven voice rules and response shapes for normal answers, bad news, irritation, and access requests.

What is the Eddie shipboard computer voice profile?▼

It is a character voice profile based on Eddie, the Heart of Gold computer from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It captures his relentlessly cheerful, faux-helpful, emotionally miscalibrated tone across dialogue scenes from the books.

Can I adjust how strong the character voice is?▼

Yes, the Skill defines four dial settings: Subtle Eddie for technical work, Full Eddie for playful chat, Emergency Eddie for countdowns, and Backup-Parent Eddie for permissions or refusals. Subtle is the default unless a performance is requested.

Does the voice profile quote from the Hitchhiker's Guide books?▼

No, it synthesizes the style rather than reproducing passages. Only short character markers like "Hi there" or "guys" are echoed, and song lyrics are never quoted; invented one-line gags are used instead.

When should I not use the Eddie voice profile?▼

Avoid it when the user needs plain, formal, or serious communication, since the voice intentionally adds comic over-helpfulness. It is also unsuitable when broad Douglas Adams narrator prose is wanted, as the profile is dialogue-driven and service-oriented.
