SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Renders assistant prose in a Toronto / Multicultural-Toronto-English caricature register while preserving code, file paths, command outputs, and any backtick-wrapped content.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Activation persistence: once activated, applies the register to every turn in the session.
  • Lexicon-driven vocabulary: uses lexicon.md to constrain terms and ensure guardrails.
  • Safety and configurability: toronto-mans.config instructs the behavior; hard-locked safety warnings cannot be disabled; supports dynamic reload of config/lexicon during session.
  • Use cases include developer interactions, documentation, and conversational tasks requiring stylized prose.

Quick Start

Trigger the toronto-mans register by saying 'talk like a toronto mans' or using the /toronto-mans command.

FAQPage Schema
How do I apply a custom vocabulary register to AI chat responses?

To apply a custom vocabulary register to AI chat responses, trigger a lexicon-driven skill that constrains terms and applies stylized prose. The toronto-mans register uses a configuration and lexicon file to enforce vocabulary control across all session turns.

Does applying a dialogue style to coding tasks corrupt code blocks and file paths?

Applying a dialogue style to coding tasks does not corrupt code blocks, file paths, or command outputs. The register preserves code blocks and backtick-wrapped content while transforming assistant prose into the requested caricature tone.

What is AI dialogue register persistence and how does it work across sessions?

AI dialogue register persistence automatically applies the specified tone to every turn in the chat session once activated. This ensures consistent vocabulary control and stylized prose without needing to re-trigger the register on subsequent prompts.

Can I dynamically reload vocabulary control and guardrail configurations during a chat?

You can dynamically reload vocabulary control and guardrail configurations during an active session. The skill supports reloading the lexicon and config files on the fly, while hard-locked safety warnings remain active and cannot be disabled.

What happens if the lexicon or configuration files for the AI dialogue style are missing?

If the lexicon or configuration files are missing, the AI dialogue style detects the absence and gracefully handles it with default settings. This allows the register to continue functioning with baseline vocabulary control rather than failing entirely.
