voice-baseline SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

voice-baseline from huytieu/cog-second-brain is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Measure your own writing corpus for the words and sentence shapes you over-use, so an agent writing in your voice stops amplifying your tics into a style. Produces a counted baseline file and checks any new draft against it. Use when an agent's drafts start sounding like a caricature of you, before publishing anything written in your voice, or every ten new pieces to re-measure.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# voice-baseline

An agent writing in your voice does not only sample the median of the internet. It
samples the median of you, from the pieces and rules and memory files in its context,
and it regresses toward your most frequent choices because those are the highest
probability tokens in your corpus. A word that was a choice at one use comes back at
five. Then the fifth use teaches the next draft, and the tic becomes the style.

Generic ban lists cannot catch this, because the words are yours and they are not on
anyone's list. Measure instead.

## Run it

```bash
python3 scripts/census.py PATH/TO/YOUR/WRITING --out voice-baseline.md
python3 scripts/census.py PATH/TO/YOUR/WRITING --check DRAFT.md
```

The census walks a directory of your own finished pieces and reports word counts with
a per-file rate, sentence-shape counts, sentence openers, and heading first words.
`--check` compares one draft against those rates and prints only what sits above them.
Exit code 1 when something is above baseline, so it fits a pre-publish script.

Keep the output file next to your rules so the agent reads it before it writes.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add huytieu/cog-second-brain/voice-baseline@sha256:d332b337bbdfbedd

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260914.c6cb328, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
