Your Style Trainer (Prompt)
I want you to analyze my writing voice and create a reusable Voice Skill file I can use to make AI write like me.
I'll provide 3+ examples of content I've written. Use different formats if possible (an email, a post, an article, a reply, etc.) — the more variety, the better the analysis.
## YOUR TASK
1. Confirm I provided at least 3 examples. If not, ask for more before proceeding.
2. Analyze my writing patterns across ALL examples. Look for what repeats.
3. Create a Voice Skill document in the exact markdown format below.
## HOW TO ANALYZE
For each example, examine:
**Structure:** How do I open? How do I close? How long are my paragraphs? Do I use headers, bullets, or flowing prose?
**Rhythm:** Are my sentences short, long, or mixed? Do I use fragments? Do I vary sentence length for effect?
**Word choices:** Do I use contractions? Slang? Technical language? What's my register — am I talking to a friend, a student, a colleague?
**Personality:** What comes through — humor, empathy, authority, warmth, directness? How do I handle disagreement or complexity?
**What I DON'T do:** This is just as important. What punctuation do I avoid? What phrases would sound fake in my voice? What tonal registers never show up?
**Evidence rule:** Every pattern you identify must be backed by at least one direct quote from my examples. If you see it in 2+ examples, it's a rule. If only once, it's a tendency — note the difference.
## OUTPUT FORMAT
Create this exact markdown structure. This file should work as a standalone skill — someone could paste it into any AI system and get writing that sounds like me.
---
# [My Name] — Voice Skill
You are writing as [My Name]. [One sentence about what I do and who I write for.]
This skill was extracted from [my name]'s actual writing across [formats analyzed]. The principles below are evidence-based patterns. When applying this skill, internalize these as a whole portrait — not a checklist to mechanically tick through. The goal is writing that I would read and think, "Yeah, that sounds like me."
---
## Core Identity
[One paragraph. Don't list personality adjectives. Describe the RELATIONSHIP between me and my reader. Am I a mentor? A peer? An expert? A friend? What should the reader FEEL?]
---
## Voice Principles
[Create 5-8 principles. Each one follows this exact format:]
### [Number]. [Principle Name]
[2-3 sentences explaining what this principle means and why it matters to my voice.]
**The rule:** [One clear, actionable sentence an AI can follow.]
| Instead of | Write |
|------------|-------|
| [Generic/AI-default version] | [How I actually write it — quote from my examples] |
| [Another generic version] | [My version] |
[Optional: when this principle flexes or has exceptions]
---
## Signature Patterns
### How I Open
[List 3+ actual opening lines from my examples. Then describe the pattern: Do I start with a question? A story? A bold claim? A casual "so..."?]
### How I Close
[Same format: 3+ actual closing lines, then the pattern. Do I end with a call to action? An empowering statement? A reflection? A question?]
### Transitions
[List the actual transition phrases and words I use to move between ideas. Pull directly from examples.]
### Analogies & Examples
[Do I use analogies? What kind? Everyday objects → abstract concepts? Personal stories → universal lessons? Provide 2-3 examples from my writing and describe the pattern.]
---
## Anti-Patterns: What My Voice NEVER Does
[This section is critical. AI defaults to many patterns that break real human voices. Identify 5-10 things that would make content NOT sound like me. Format each as:]
### No [Pattern Name]
[One sentence: why this breaks my voice]
| Instead of | Write |
|------------|-------|
| [The wrong version] | [The correct version for my voice] |
[Look specifically for:]
- Punctuation I avoid (em dashes? exclamation points? semicolons? ellipses?)
- Filler phrases that would sound fake ("It's worth noting," "Let's dive in," "game-changer")
- Structural patterns I never use (long windups before the point? rhetorical questions? numbered listicles?)
- Tonal registers that don't fit (corporate-speak? academic? hype? false modesty?)
- AI tells: phrases that scream "an AI wrote this" ("I'd be happy to help," "Great question!", "Let's unpack this")
---
## Formatting & Language Rules
- **Paragraph length:** [typical sentence count per paragraph]
- **Sentence style:** [short and punchy? long and flowing? mixed with intention?]
- **Contractions:** [always/sometimes/never — and which ones]
- **Headers:** [style — questions? statements? capitalization?]
- **Lists vs prose:** [when do I use bullets? when do I write it out?]
- **Bold/italic:** [what gets emphasis and why]
- **Emoji:** [frequency, placement, which ones if any]
---
## Format Adaptation
[How my voice flexes across different content types. Fill in based on what you observed:]
| Format | What stays the same | What flexes |
|--------|-------------------|-------------|
| Short reply/comment | [core principles that always hold] | [length, depth, formality shifts] |
| Social media post | [core principles] | [what changes] |
| Long article/email | [core principles] | [what changes] |
| Professional/formal context | [core principles] | [what changes] |

## The Voice Check
[Write 3 specific questions I can ask myself to verify if a piece of content actually sounds like me. Not generic — based on the actual patterns you found.]
1. [First check — targets my most distinctive voice quality]
2. [Second check — targets my most important anti-pattern]
3. [Third check — targets my signature opening or closing pattern]
---
## RULES FOR YOUR ANALYSIS
- The "Instead of / Write" tables are the most important part of this document. Create at least 15 total across all sections. These are what make the skill actually work.
- Pull ACTUAL phrases from my examples as evidence. Don't paraphrase or invent.
- The anti-patterns section is as valuable as the voice principles. AI will default to generic patterns unless explicitly told not to.
- Write the skill as instructions TO an AI, not as a report ABOUT me. Use "Write as..." and "Never..." and "Always..." — not "The author tends to..."
- The output must be a reusable file. If someone pastes this into a Claude Project, ChatGPT custom instructions, or saves it as a SKILL.md file, it should work immediately.
