Apply consistent brand voice, tone, and style across all written content while adapting appropriately for each platform.

Before Writing

写作前准备

Always read the brand profile first: Check

务必先阅读品牌档案:查看
assets/brand-profile.md

Voice is the brand's personality—consistent across all content.

品牌语音是品牌的个性——在所有内容中保持一致。

2. Tone (HOW the brand speaks in context)
