SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Agents reply in a single default register that may not match how a user prefers to receive information, creating friction in every exchange. This Skill lets users load, switch, persist, and author communication styles so the agent's tone, structure, and depth align with the user's preferences. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Style Loading and Switching: Apply a default or named communication style to the running session via the radorch CLI, with slug-mismatch fallback to catalog listing. - Persistence and Auto-Load: Set a default style and enable or disable automatic loading on session start. - Collaborative Style Authoring: Free-form input opens a guided conversation using the dimensions reference and STYLE-TEMPLATE to craft and save custom styles under ~/.radorc/communication-styles/custom. - Use Case: A user finds agent replies too verbose, runs /rad-communication with a description of the irritation, and converges on a concise custom style saved and set as the default for future sessions. ## Quick Start Run /rad-communication followed by a style name to apply that communication style to the current session.

Frequently Asked Questions about rad-communication

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I change the agent's communication style in a session?▼

Run /rad-communication with a style name to load that style for the current session, or run it bare to apply your default style. The agent adopts the loaded style body for its replies until the session ends or you switch styles.

How do I set a default communication style that loads automatically?▼

Run /rad-communication default <style-name> to persist a style as your default, then /rad-communication enable so it auto-loads on session start. Use /rad-communication disable to turn off auto-loading.

Can I create a custom communication style?▼

Yes. Describe your preferences in free form after /rad-communication and the agent guides you using the dimensions reference and STYLE-TEMPLATE, then saves the result under ~/.radorc/communication-styles/custom where upgrades will not overwrite it.

What happens if I edit a shipped communication style directly?▼

Shipped styles are overwritten on upgrade and removed on uninstall, so they are never edited in place. Instead, load the shipped style, edit the draft, and save it under a new name in the custom directory so you own the copy.

Does a communication style affect code or tool usage?▼

No. A communication style only changes how the agent discusses topics with the user. It explicitly does not affect how the agent writes code, comments, or interacts with tools and other agents.
