SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? AI-generated drafts often sound generic and fail to match a specific writer's voice, tone, and judgment. This Skill provides a structured interview-to-build-to-apply workflow for creating style guides that constrain how AI writes, not just what it writes. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Three operating modes: Interview mode surfaces writing preferences through reactive Q&A, Build mode synthesizes them into an 8-section style guide template, and Apply mode drafts or revises prose against the guide. - Anti-pattern blacklist: Ships a reference catalog of universal AI writing anti-patterns (hedges, fake profundity, correlative constructions) with pattern-to-solution fixes. - Maturity levels: Supports starter guides, working guides, and compound systems where editorial corrections feed back into the guide. - Use Case: A newsletter writer whose AI drafts sound too polished runs the interview mode, builds a guide with signature moves and a revision checklist, then applies it to every draft before publishing. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to interview you about your writing preferences and build a personal style guide from your answers and sample passages.

FAQPage Schema
How do I make AI writing sound like me?▼

Run an interactive interview that surfaces your voice, structure, and sentence-level preferences through reactive questions about real samples. The responses are synthesized into a style guide with anti-patterns and examples that the AI follows when drafting.

What is the difference between a style guide and a prompt?▼

A prompt tells AI what to do for one task, while a style guide is a reusable system defining how the AI should sound across all tasks. The guide encodes voice, structure, signature moves, and blacklisted patterns that persist between sessions.

What should an AI writing style guide include?▼

Use the 8-section template: voice and tone, structure, sentence-level preferences, signature moves, anti-pattern blacklist, positive examples, negative examples, and a revision checklist. Every rule must be specific enough to change model behavior.

How do I fix generic-sounding AI drafts?▼

Scan drafts against the anti-pattern blacklist first, cutting hedges, fake profundity, correlative constructions, and summary endings. Then verify structural shape and sentence rhythm against the guide, and run the revision checklist before publishing.

Where should I store a finished writing style guide?▼

Save it as a markdown file in a Claude Project system prompt, a skill's reference directory, or a standalone document pasted into any AI conversation. Advanced setups embed it in skills or agent pipelines that check every draft.
