generate-voice-guide
Generate a personal voice guide for X (Twitter) and/or LinkedIn by scanning a user's past posts and iteratively refining with sample-and-feedback loops. Produces a structured markdown voice guide that sibling skills (create-x-content, create-linkedin-content) consume to draft in-voice posts. Different from brand-voice-extractor, which analyses company blogs/landing pages — this skill is for personal social voice.
npx skills add gooseworks-ai/goose-skills --skill generate-voice-guide --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Generate Voice Guide Turn a real person's past posts into a structured voice guide that other skills can use to draft in-voice content. Produces one guide per platform (X, LinkedIn, or both) with persona, dos/don'ts, banned phrases, hook patterns, format rules, and example posts. **This is an agent-executed skill** — the agent handles scraping, analysis, drafting, and iteration via the tools available in the session. No bundled Python script. ## When to use - A user wants to build a personal voice guide for social content - Another skill (e.g. `create-x-content`, `create-linkedin-content`, `social-kit`) needs a voice guide and one doesn't exist - The user wants to mimic someone else's public voice (for ghostwriting, parody, or study) **When NOT to use:** For analysing a company's blog/landing-page voice, use `brand-voice-extractor` instead. That's for corporate marketing voice; this one is for individual social voice. ## Quick Start Interactive: ``` /generate-voice-guide ``` Args mode: ``` /generate-voice-guide --profile @GooseworksAI --platforms x,linkedin --output ~/.goose-skills/voice-guides ``` ## Discovery Questions (front-loaded) Ask these up front if not supplied via flags

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add gooseworks-ai/goose-skills --skill generate-voice-guide --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From gooseworks-ai/goose-skills, a repository with 1,091 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
