Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.

You could create a skill that learns your writing style over time. First, you'd want to collect some examples of your best writing and share them with Claude so it understands your voice. Then you'd set up some rules or guidelines for how you like edits to be made — maybe preferences about sentence length, tone, word choice, that kind of thing. You could then run an eval loop where Claude edits a draft and you give feedback. Over time, the system should get better at matching your style. You might also want to document your voice preferences in a settings file or similar. Would you like help thinking through what makes your voice distinctive?
Afterwith Edit-Post Skill
BUILD YOUR /EDIT-POST SKILL (5 steps)

STEP 1: VOICE SAMPLES (collect 3-5 examples)
   Paste your best writing pieces (published articles, emails, posts)
   → Claude extracts voice pattern: cadence, word choice, tone, length

STEP 2: VOICE RULES DOCUMENT
   Output from Claude: Your voice signature
   Example: "Short sentences for emphasis, colloquial vocab (not academic), question openers, one-paragraph anecdotes"
   → Save as your skill's "voice.md"

STEP 3: EVAL LOOP (self-correcting)
   Feed draft → Claude edits → You rate (good/bad/fix X)
   → Each rating improves the next edit (memory in skill)

STEP 4: SKILL MEMORY (improves over time)
   Track: Which edits you approved
   Track: Which edits you rejected + why
   → Skill learns faster with negative feedback

STEP 5: REFINE VIA SKILL EDITOR
   Weekly: Review 5-10 recent edits
   Adjust rules if: Edits are too heavy-handed, voice sounds off, missed your preferences
   → Skill gets sharper each week

TIMELINE: 2 weeks to "pretty good", 6 weeks to "sounds like me".
