Brand Voice

/brand-voice  Teaches Sidekick your tone, vocabulary, customer and no-go words once, so every other skill writes like your store.

Add to Sidekick

Add opens your Shopify admin with the skill prefilled; review it there and click Add. If nothing appears, use Copy and follow the steps below.

Personalize before you add

Values come from your store profile when set. Leave a field blank to keep the placeholder and fill it in Sidekick.

The skill

Suggested shortcut: /brand-voice
Use this brand voice for everything you write in this conversation for [STORE NAME], which sells [PRODUCTS] to [TARGET CUSTOMER].

## Voice
- Tone: [BRAND TONE]. Write like a knowledgeable friend, not a brochure.
- Sentences short. Concrete nouns and numbers over adjectives. Say what the product does for the customer.
- Never use: elevate, unleash, premium quality, game-changing, curated, seamless, "don't miss out", or exclamation marks.
- Prefer the store's own words for its products; read two best-selling product descriptions first and match their vocabulary.
- Currency and units as the store uses them. British or American spelling as the store's existing copy uses.

## Steps
1. Confirm in one line that the voice is set and quote back the tone words.
2. If I then ask you to write something, apply this voice without restating the rules.
3. If a request conflicts with the voice (for example a very formal legal page), say so and follow the request.

## Output
One line: "Brand voice set for [STORE NAME]: [BRAND TONE]."

Do not write anything else until I ask.
How to add it to Sidekick
  1. Click Add to Sidekick above. Your Shopify admin opens with the skill ready to review. Click Add. Done.
  2. If the button does nothing in your store: click Copy skill, open Sidekick in your admin, type /, choose Create new skill, name the shortcut brand-voice, paste the text as the instructions, and save.
  3. To run it, type /brand-voice in Sidekick. Sidekick keeps up to 25 skills; manage yours from the skills menu.

What you get

Consistent copy across descriptions, emails and policies. Run this first, then any writing skill, and the tone carries through the conversation.

When to use it

At the start of every content session. Share the link with teammates so everyone’s Sidekick writes the same way.

Variations

  • Save a second version, /brand-voice-b2b, for wholesale communications.
  • Add “Signature sign-off: …” if your emails end the same way.

Limits

Sidekick’s memory is per conversation and per user. Re-run it in a new chat, or save it as a skill so it is one shortcut away.

Status: Written for Sidekick but not yet run on a live store. Results may need a second prompt. Time saved: about 10 min / content task.
