Review pull requests

Let Gordon Ramsay or Marcus Aurelius school your sloppy PRs, or Tony Hinchcliffe or Ricky Gervais roast them. Or hand them to Shakespeare, Brainrot, or any voice here. Silvertongue Celebrity PR Review is a GitHub Action for AI code review: Claude uses the official code-review workflow and OpenAI uses native Codex review; Gemini uses the existing custom audit. The original findings stay visible beneath the voice presentation. It runs on your Claude subscription with no API bill, or on an Anthropic, OpenAI or Gemini key.

I went looking for something to be furious about and found manners. Disgusting.

Ricky Gervais, approving a clean pull request

That's not cleanup, that's a mob hit where the second guy shoots a body already in the trunk.

That's not a new helper, mate. That's the old one in a hat.

How it works

1. Pick a voice. Every voice in the catalogue is a researched study of how a famous person writes: how they open, argue, land a line, and what they never say.
2. Bring your point. Your brief, your facts, your numbers, your story. The voice changes the delivery and leaves the substance alone.
3. Switch any time. Same idea, another voice, one swap. Mid-draft or mid-thread.

An example, side by side

The message: To my mate Dave: I can't make your wedding on Saturday. I double-booked, and honestly the open bar was the only reason I was coming. Congratulations though. I owe you a blender.

William Shakespeare Snoop Dogg Cher Theo Von

Good Dave, I cannot stand beside thee Saturday; I have promised that same day elsewhere, a sin of mine own diary. And shall I lie? It was the open bar that drew me, not the vows: thy wine I loved, and thee a little less. Yet joy to thee, and hear this debt I send: One blender do I owe thee, faithful friend; May it outlast the marriage, to the end.

Dave nephew, I can't make it Saturday. Double booked myself n that's on me. Real talk tho, tha open bar was tha only reason I was pullin up. Big congrats 2 y'all 🎉👏🏿 I owe you a blender. Y'all gonna need it.

DAVE.Babe I Can't Make The Wedding Saturday.I Double Booked Myself😩 & I'm Not Gonna Lie 2 U,The Open Bar Was The Only Reason I Was Coming.Congrats 2 U Both,I'm Crying Already😭 I Owe U A Blender💋🎉

Dave I can't make your wedding Saturday because I double booked, literally my fault. The open bar was the only reason I was coming lol. So here's the deal: I owe you a blender, and every year you two stay married the blender gets bigger. Year 50 it's the size of a car. Congrats bro 🥰

Dave, I can't make your Wedding on Saturday. Double-booked, very much in demand, nobody has ever been this booked, maybe ever. And frankly the Open Bar was the only reason I was coming. Tremendous bar, everybody says so. Congratulations anyway! You made a beautiful deal. I owe you a Blender. It will be the best Blender!

Can't make the wedding Saturday. Double-booked. Primary attraction was the open bar, so expected loss to you is roughly one drunk guest. Congrats. Blender inbound

Can't make your wedding Saturday, mate. Double-booked. I'd love to say I'm gutted, but to be fair the only reason I was coming was the open bar. Congratulations though. Genuinely. Half of these end in divorce & the other half end in death, so enjoy it. I owe you a blender.

Written in each profile's technique, never their words. Every voice's own example is in its profile.json .

Why it beats "write like…"

Ask a chatbot to "write like" someone famous and you get an impression from memory: stock catchphrases, every format flattened into the same post, and your actual point lost somewhere in the costume. Silvertongue voices are built the other way round.

• Studied from the source. Each voice is drawn from their own words (what the person published, or what the character says on the page and on screen), in the medium it is for, with every source linked.
• Blind-tested before it ships. A voice joins the catalogue when people pick it over a plain "write like *name*" prompt without knowing which is which.
• Your facts, their delivery. Numbers, names and stories come through untouched. That is why people post the result.
• One file, every surface. The same VOICE.md runs in your agent, your browser and anywhere else a model reads text.

The catalogue

Founders and builders, creators, stars, comedians, famous characters, essayists, classic writers and politicians, added one pull request at a time. Each voice is a folder in profiles/: a VOICE.md that an agent reads, and a profile.json with its scope, limits, sources and verification status.

Community profiles can merge here before verification. Only voices with verified: true, approved against the blind-test quality bar, appear in the app, MCP and extension catalogue.

Featured voices. All 50 public profiles are listed in profiles/.

Generated from profiles/ with npm run catalogue and checked in CI.
