Voice-Matched Long-Form Draft Editor
Edits your essays and newsletters so they sound like you at your best, then logs voice rules so each future edit gets sharper.
Before & after
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?
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".
About this skill
Most AI edits make your draft cleaner and less like you. They cut the fragments and asides you use on purpose, add phrases like "let's dive in," and sometimes change what you actually claimed. This skill edits against your real writing. It builds a profile from your samples, fixes structure before sentences, checks its own edit for voice drift, and adds each repeated mistake to a rules list, so the next edit starts from what it learned.
What it does
- Builds a voice profile you can check from 2-5 of your own pieces: sentence and paragraph rhythm, openers, closers, signature moves, and words you never use
- Edits structure first: buries no lede, cuts throat-clearing intros, and ends on a payoff instead of a summary
- Line-edits lightly, removes AI tells you don't use, and keeps the quirks that are actually your voice
- Runs a self-check against your voice, AI tells, meaning drift, invented facts, and over-editing, then fixes anything that fails
- Logs a numbered change log with the reason for each edit, plus specific new voice rules to add to your list
- Keeps your rules between sessions as a voice rules file (with your OK) or as a block you can paste in next time
What you get
Your edited draft, a change log tied to your voice rules, a pass/fail self-check, and proposed new rules written so you can test each one.
Best for
Newsletter writers, bloggers, founders, and operators who publish long-form under their own name and are tired of AI edits that flatten their voice.
