copywriting-voice-quadrant-stage

Phase 5 — strategic voice positioning. Consumes a Phase 4 draft and tags it with a voice_quadrant before Phase 6 (copywriting-voice-tone-stage) performs tactical 4-axis tone tuning.

Canon lives in standards/voice-quadrant-positioning.md (658 lines). This SKILL.md is the routing surface, not the content — do not inline quadrant definitions or brand corpora when using this skill; read the standard.

Scope

• Macro typology only: choose a voice family (1 of 4 quadrants), not micro-tuned tone.
• Input: Phase 4 envelope with draft + brief + (optionally) message_thesis, Schwartz awareness level, target audience register.
• Output: envelope with a new voice_quadrant field + optional edge_note (for legitimate Q2↔Q3 / Q1↔Q4 edge positions) + next_stage: copywriting-voice-tone-stage.
• Out of scope: 4-axis tone (Formality / Seriousness / Respectfulness / Enthusiasm) — that is Phase 6's job (voice-and-tone.md).
