[Voice 1 name] - [description] 2. [Voice 2 name] - [description] 3. No specific voice (neutral professional) ``` Apply selected voice guidelines to all generated content. ## Generation Mode Note This skill uses Octave's `generate_content` and `generate_email` tools by default. Two alternatives: - **Saved agents**: Check for matching agents with `list_agents` when relevant. See `/octave:explore-agents`. - **Claude-direct**: Skip `generate_*` calls, gather Octave context, Claude writes directly. Offer when user wants more control. For the full interactive mode selector, use `/octave:generate`. ## MCP Tools Used ### Library Context - `list_all_entities` (entityType: "brand_voice") - Get available brand voices - `list_all_entities` - List products, personas, etc. - `get_entity` - Get full entity details - `search_knowledge_base` - Find relevant messaging, proof points ### Content Generation - `generate_content` - Primary content generation tool - `generate_email` - For email-style content within collateral ## Content Type Quick Reference | Type | Key Inputs | Primary Library Sources | |------|------------|------------------------| | One-Pager | Product, persona, use case | Product, persona pain points, proof points | | Case Study | Reference customer | Reference (metrics, quotes), use case | | Landing Page | Product/campaign, persona, CTA | Product, persona, value props | | Blog Post | Topic, angle, persona | Use cases, proof points, messaging | | Datasheet | Product | Product (features, specs, capabilities) | | FAQ | Product/topic | Common objections, use cases | | Sales Deck | Product, persona, playbook | Playbook (narrative, value props), product | ## Error Handling **Missing Product:** > No products found in your library. > > To create effective collateral, I need product information. > Run /octave:library create product to add your product first. **Missing Brand Voice:** > No brand voice defined.
