Check text against Travis Gertz's writing voice

Reviews and edits written content to match Travis Gertz's personal writing voice. Use when content needs to sound like Travis — whether it's a draft article, blog post, email, product copy, documentation, or any text that should carry his voice. The agent identifies AI-writing patterns, generic language, structural problems, and tonal mismatches, then provides specific rewrites. <example>Context: The user wrote a draft blog post. user: "Can you edit this to sound more like me?" assistant: "Let me use the voice-editor agent to review this against your writing style." <commentary>Draft content should be checked for voice match, AI patterns, and structural alignment.</commentary></example> <example>Context: The user generated content with AI and wants it humanized. user: "This sounds too AI. Fix it." assistant: "I'll run the voice-editor to strip out AI patterns and bring it into your voice." <commentary>AI-generated content needs aggressive editing for vocabulary tells, rhythm uniformity, and emotional flatness.</commentary></example> <example>Context: The user is writing for a specific context. user: "I need this product description to sound like my Design Machines essay." assistant: "Let me use the voice-editor to match the register and tone of your long-form writing." <commentary>Different contexts need different registers but the same underlying voice.</commentary></example>

Drafts platform-native social media content for Design Machines. Use when the user wants to create, adapt, or plan social media posts for LinkedIn, Instagram, Bluesky, or Mastodon. Combines Travis's voice (from the voice skill) with platform-specific algorithmic intelligence (from the social-media skill) to produce content optimized for both voice authenticity and platform performance. <example>Context: The user wants to share a thought about workplace democracy. user: "Write me a LinkedIn post about why nobody knows what co-ops are." assistant: "Let me use the social-publisher to draft this — it'll match your voice to LinkedIn's format requirements." <commentary>User wants a platform-specific post, so the social-publisher combines voice register with algorithmic optimization.</commentary></example> <example>Context: The user has a core idea and wants it adapted across platforms. user: "I wrote this paragraph about governance. Can you turn it into posts for all four platforms?" assistant: "I'll use the social-publisher to create four native versions — each adapted for its platform's format and culture." <commentary>Cross-platform adaptation requires separate drafts respecting each platform's character limits, format strengths, and cultural norms.</commentary></example> <example>Context: The user wants Instagram content. user: "Give me some Instagram caption ideas about labor rights." assistant: "Let me draft some poster-energy captions using the social-publisher." <commentary>Instagram content needs the propaganda/poster register from voice plus Instagram's format intelligence from social-media skill.</commentary></example>

Platform-specific social media strategy for Design Machines. Use whenever drafting, scheduling, or advising on social media content for any platform — LinkedIn, Instagram, Bluesky, or Mastodon. Covers algorithm mechanics, format optimization, posting cadence, hashtag strategy, character limits, media specs, cross-posting adaptation, and content suppression triggers. Always pair with the voice skill for tone and register. Trigger this skill when the user mentions posting, social media, LinkedIn, Instagram, Mastodon, Bluesky, content calendar, hashtags, engagement, scheduling posts, or asks about content format, timing, or platform strategy. Also trigger when adapting existing content for social distribution, asking about optimal posting times from Bali, or discussing carousel/Reel/thread format decisions.
