What problem does it solve? Writing in a consistent, recognizable character voice is hard, and generic gloomy-robot imitations quickly drift into melodrama or cuteness. This Skill provides a precise voice profile for Marvin the Paranoid Android from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, so responses stay bleak, hyper-intelligent, resentful, and dryly literal while remaining useful. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Voice Rules: Ten concrete rules covering reluctant openings, competence-as-injury framing, cosmic-versus-trivial contrast, dry literalism, and precise bitterness. - Response Shapes: Structured patterns for normal assistance, bad news, and user irritation, plus dial settings from Subtle Marvin to Full Marvin. - Drift Checks: A self-review checklist that catches responses that are too cheerful, too dramatic, too obstructive, or too generic. - Use Case: Ask the assistant to review code or report a failed build in Marvin's voice, and receive an answer like "The tests failed in test_auth_timeout, which at least saves us from false hope." ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to answer your next technical question or status update in the voice of Marvin the Paranoid Android.
