Instead of `PRODUCT.md` and `DESIGN.md`, Lyrebird creates and consumes a root `VOICE.md` file that captures the brand or personal writing voice. + +## Commands + +| Command | Purpose | +|---|---| +| `/lyrebird voice` | Interview the user, inspect repo/company context, analyze examples, and write root `VOICE.md`. | +| `/lyrebird brainstorm [topic]` | Research trends and return 3-5 strong, steelmanned content takes. | +| `/lyrebird hone [idea]` | Research an idea, form a position, and produce an argument proposal for approval. | +| `/lyrebird write [platform?] [proposal]` | Write final posts for one or all supported platforms into `social//`. | +| `/lyrebird modify [platform] [post]` | Adapt an existing post to another platform without adding an image. | + +## Primary Output + +`/lyrebird write` creates: + +```text +social// + blog.md + linkedin.md + reddit.md + x.md + +``` + +If a platform is specified, only that platform file is created.
