Brand Voice Integration

Always check for brand voices and apply:

list_brand_voices()

If multiple voices exist, ask:

Which brand voice should I use?

1. [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_brand_voices - Get available brand voices
• list_all_entities - List products, personas, etc.
• get_entity - Get full entity details

Content Generation

Content Type Quick Reference

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. I'll use a neutral professional tone.

For consistent messaging, consider creating a brand voice: This is done in the Octave web app under Settings > Brand Voices.
