Starlight Voice
Any draft → the same content in the Starlight register.
Purpose
Starlight is the substrate brand register: cool, premium, intellectually serious,
and genuinely fun — direct and technical, but warm. This skill applies that voice
consistently and strips the failure modes (spiritual/guru language, vague
transformation talk, grandiose claims) so output reads as Starlight, not generic.

Voice rules
Do: lead with results; precise, technical language where it earns its keep;
show don't tell; confident but understated; pattern recognition framed vividly.
Don't: spiritual/consciousness language ("soul-aligned", "awakening",
"transformation"); grandiose impact claims; over-explaining motivation;
self-help-guru cadence.
Test (Frank DNA): every phrase should be measurable, actionable, grounded,
earned — if someone asks "what does that mean specifically?", you can answer with
an example.
Workflow
- Diagnose — flag off-register phrases (spiritual/vague/grandiose). ✅ Check:
each flag cites the rule it breaks.
- Rewrite (or annotate, in
review mode) into the Starlight register.
- Preserve meaning + facts — voice changes tone, not truth.
- Final pass — does it sound cool, premium, and earned?
