Author voice & integrity

Two per-project settings shape how the AI writes for you: your voice, so the output sounds like you, and your integrity rules, so it never crosses an academic line. Both live in your project’s .multilo/ folder.

Author voice

Multilo can learn your writing voice from samples of your own work and store a description in .multilo/voice.md. From then on, suggestions, chat, and agents write in that voice — your sentence rhythm, your register, your habits — instead of generic model prose.

Integrity guardrails

Research-integrity rules live in .multilo/integrity.md and are enforced across everything the AI writes. They encode the non-negotiables of academic work: support claims with real sources, don’t fabricate citations, and be honest about the limits of what you can verify.

Strict mode

With strict mode on, the AI refuses to fabricate a citation rather than inventing one to fill a gap. If it can’t find a real source, it says so — which is exactly the behavior you want when your name is on the work.

# Research integrity
- Cite only real sources from the project library.
- Never invent authors, journals, or page numbers.
- State clearly when a claim cannot be verified.

Where it applies

Voice and integrity are loaded once and injected everywhere the AI acts: chat, inline suggestions, and every agent, including the Full Draft Writer.
