Brand Language Codifier

Codifies the brand-level language canon — voice (register, tone spectrum, banned phrases, few-shot examples drawn only from the brand's own published material) and the naming tax (product / feature / tier naming rules, approved and banned terms) — as a dual-mode voice+naming step in the TALE Architect phase. It feeds two TALE-A sub-items directly: brand voice codified (register, tone, banned phrases, few-shots from own material only) and naming/lexicon tax defined (product/feature/tier naming rules, approved and banned terms). The voice rules it writes are the brand-level source the channel-registry voice-dossier.md adapts downward — channel voice points up to this canon, never redefines it — and its output seeds memory/narrative-registry/candidates.md for narrative-registry to promote into the canon. It works one lever — brand language — and hands off.

Scope guard: this skill produces the voice + naming rules only. It does not author per-platform voice adaptations (that is the channel-registry voice-dossier.md, which points up to this canon — use it instead for a specific platform's tone), write finished copy or blog posts (use content-writer), build the message hierarchy / pillars / tagline (that is message-system-architect, the upstream — if no durable message house exists, route there first and stop), adjudicate any product or comparative claim (unverifiable ones are marked [needs source] and submitted to memory/claims/candidates.md — offer-claims-registry is the sole adjudicator), or compute the NQS (only the narrative-quality-auditor gate scores TALE). Canon promotion is narrative-registry's alone — this skill writes to candidates.md, never to memory/narrative-registry/.

Quick Start

Codify the brand voice for [brand] from these published samples: [paste homepage, blog, docs, deck copy]. Give me register, tone spectrum, banned phrases, and few-shots.

Build the naming tax for [product]: rules for product / feature / tier names, plus an approved-terms and banned-terms table. Existing names: [list].

Run both modes — codify voice AND naming rules from our own material — and stage the result for the narrative-registry canon.
