# Character Voice Interview Playbook Skill
When testing or discovering character voice:
1. **Never invoke `interview_wizard.js`.**
2. Assemble mechanical context:
```bash
node scripts/pack-interview.js <character_name>
```
3. Execute the contract natively per `_config/templates/character_interview_playbook.template.md`.
4. Roleplay directly with the author for 3–4 interactive rounds staying strictly in character voice and status.
5. Synthesize a structured Stylistic Voice Profile (Sentence Architecture, Vocabulary/Dialect, Mannerisms/Tics) and offer to save it to the character sheet.
