About this skill
What is the Brand Voice?
The Brand Voice skill is the instruction set Okara’s Writer Agent uses to define a brand’s voice and then hold every piece of writing to it. It turns fuzzy adjectives like "friendly but professional" into a documented set of voice attributes, tone rules, vocabulary, and before/after examples — so anyone, or any agent, can produce copy that sounds like one company.
It’s written as a SKILL.md, a plain-language instruction format that both people and AI agents can follow directly. Read it to understand the method, adapt it for your brand, or let the Writer Agent build the guide from a few samples and then apply it to any draft.
Downloading the instructions is free with an Okara account. Building your voice guide and applying it across everything you write is part of the Writer Agent.
Example
See it in action
You ask: “Our brand voice should be "friendly but professional." Can you make that usable?”
Agent does: "Friendly but professional" is a start, but it’s too vague to write from. I’d turn it into three concrete attributes — say Warm, Clear, and Confident — each with a one-line definition, a "we do / we don’t" pair, and a rewritten example. For Clear: we do "Your invoice is ready," we don’t "Please be advised that your invoicing document has been generated." I’d add a short word list (use "help," avoid "leverage") and a tone-shift note for support vs. marketing. Then anything written against this guide sounds like you. Want me to draft the full guide from a few samples of your existing copy?
