# re-voice
`re-voice` turns “any document” into a **shadow dossier** by applying a versioned **style bible** (voice + structure + constraints) on top of extracted source text.
This repo is the home for:
- Style bibles (versioned, citable)
- A small extraction + dossier generator (CLI + optional API)
- Example dossiers for review
## Quick start (example)
Generate the Dave-style shadow dossier for the included PDF:
```bash
PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m revoice generate \
--style if.dave.v1.2 \
--input examples/ai-code-guardrails/AI-Code-Guardrails.pdf \
--output examples/ai-code-guardrails/AI-Code-Guardrails.shadow.dave.md
```
Preflight the generated Markdown for PDF export (auto-fix Mermaid + lint):
```bash
PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m revoice preflight \
--style if.dave.v1.2 \
--input examples/ai-code-guardrails/AI-Code-Guardrails.shadow.dave.md \
--source examples/ai-code-guardrails/AI-Code-Guardrails.pdf
```
Or install the CLI locally:
```bash
python3 -m pip install -e .
revoice generate --style if.dave.v1.2 --input examples/ai-code-guardrails/AI-Code-Guardrails.pdf
```
## What “apply a style bible” means
A style bible is treated as an executable contract:
- **Structure:** required sections / scaffolding (e.g. the 9-element stack)
- **Voice constraints:** pronouns, tone, taboo phrases, vocabulary swaps
- **Formatting rules:** bullets, bold buzzwords, footers, etc.
- **Citations:** stable IDs like `if://bible/dave/v1.0` to make outputs auditable
## Proposed app shape (upload → shadow dossier)
See `docs/APP_SPEC.md`.
## Dev notes
`revoice` uses external tools for text extraction:
- `pdftotext`, `pdftoppm` (Poppler utils)
- `tesseract` (OCR fallback for image-only PDFs)
