How it works

1. Pick a voice. Every voice in the catalogue is a researched study of how a famous person writes: how they open, argue, land a line, and what they never say.
2. Bring your point. Your brief, your facts, your numbers, your story. The voice changes the delivery and leaves the substance alone.
3. Switch any time. Same idea, another voice, one swap. Mid-draft or mid-thread.

An example, side by side

The message: To my mate Dave: I can't make your wedding on Saturday. I double-booked, and honestly the open bar was the only reason I was coming. Congratulations though. I owe you a blender.

_{Written in each profile's technique, never their words. Every voice's own example is in its profile.json.}

Why it beats "write like…"

Ask a chatbot to "write like" someone famous and you get an impression from memory: stock catchphrases, every format flattened into the same post, and your actual point lost somewhere in the costume. Silvertongue voices are built the other way round.

• Studied from the source. Each voice is drawn from their own words (what the person published, or what the character says on the page and on screen), in the medium it is for, with every source linked.
• Blind-tested before it ships. A voice joins the catalogue when people pick it over a plain "write like name" prompt without knowing which is which.
• Your facts, their delivery. Numbers, names and stories come through untouched. That is why people post the result.
• One file, every surface. The same VOICE.md runs in your agent, your browser and anywhere else a model reads text.

The catalogue

Founders and builders, creators, stars, comedians, famous characters, essayists, classic writers and politicians, added one pull request at a time. Each voice is a folder in profiles/: a VOICE.md that an agent reads, and a profile.json with its scope, limits, sources and verification status.

Community profiles can merge here before verification. Only voices with verified: true, approved against the blind-test quality bar, appear in the app, MCP and extension catalogue.

Featured voices. All 50 public profiles are listed in profiles/.

_{Generated from profiles/ with npm run catalogue and checked in CI.}

VOICE.md has nine parts, defined by the VOICE.md v0 format:

Use it everywhere

Start now with any voice:

curl -fsSLo VOICE.md https://raw.githubusercontent.com/auscaster/silvertongue/main/profiles/elon-musk/VOICE.md

Rewrite draft.md using VOICE.md. Keep every fact, number and name from my notes.

Add a voice

Know someone's writing cold? Put them in the catalogue.

git clone https://github.com/auscaster/silvertongue && cd silvertongue
npm ci && npm run verify

Add profiles/<slug>/VOICE.md and profile.json, run npm run catalogue && npm run verify, and open a pull request. Writing a voice is how to make one good and the bar it has to pass; CONTRIBUTING.md has the rest.

Remove or correct a voice

If a profile studies you, or a character whose rights you hold, and you want it out, ask privately: it comes out of the catalogue and the service within seven days, and no reason is needed. To fix something in a profile, open an issue or a pull request.

House rules

• Style, never identity. No invented quotes, opinions or endorsements, and no claiming to be the person. Every voice is an unofficial study.
• Politics is delivery only. Politician voices never state positions, endorse anyone or write about elections and voting.
• Sources linked, never copied. Profiles point at the originals.
• Drafts, never autoposts. You decide what gets sent.
