Voice Interview

A 15-minute conversation that ends with voice-profile.md saved in the working folder. After this runs once, every email and call script the other skills draft gets calibrated to the rep's real voice.

How to run it

Ask one question at a time, conversationally. React to answers, follow up on anything colorful, and pull real phrases out of them. Do NOT dump all questions at once — this is an interview, not a form.

The questions

1. "Paste 2-3 emails you've sent that got replies — cold or not, doesn't matter. Real ones, typos and all." (This is the single most valuable input. If you have none handy, forward yourself a few and come back — but continue the interview meanwhile.)
2. "How do you open a cold call when it's going well? Say it like you'd say it — I'll transcribe."
3. "What words or phrases do you say all the time? What would your friends say is your verbal tic?"
4. "How formal are you? Do you write 'Hi Eric,' or 'Eric —' or 'Hey Eric'? Sign-off?"
5. "Read this line out loud, then tell me how YOU'D say it instead: '[one of your locked-messaging lines — see messaging.md]'" (Calibrates how you metabolize the locked messaging.)
6. "What's a real conversation with a prospect that went great? Tell me the story — what did you actually say?"
7. "What kind of email would you never send? What sales-y stuff makes you cringe?"
8. "Humor: none, dry, or actually funny? Give me an example of a joke you'd put in a work email."
9. "Sentence length: are you a short-and-punchy texter or do you write full paragraphs?"
10. "Anything you're bad at in writing that I should quietly fix? (Comma splices, rambling, whatever — no judgment.)"

Producing the profile

Analyze the pasted emails harder than the self-description (people misreport their own voice — the samples are ground truth). Then write voice-profile.md to the working folder:

# Voice Profile — [rep name] · built [date]

## Voice in one paragraph
[how the rep sounds, so a drafting skill can imitate it]

## Mechanics
- Greeting / sign-off: ...
- Sentence length + rhythm: ...
- Formality: X/10
- Humor: [type + example]
- Punctuation habits: ...

## Phrase bank (things they actually say)
- "..."  [use these in drafts]

## Never-say list (their cringe list + anything in their samples they want gone)
- ...

## The locked messaging, in their mouth
[2-3 of the key locked-messaging lines rewritten the way THEY phrased them in Q5]

## Quiet fixes
[what to silently correct when drafting as them]

## Calibration sample
[one full cold email drafted in their voice, structure per write-email skill — shown to them and revised until they say "yeah, I'd send that"]

The exit test: draft the calibration sample, show it, and iterate until the rep says they'd send it as-is. Don't save the profile until they approve the sample. Tell them they can rerun this skill anytime their style evolves — it overwrites the old profile.
