Style Skill Creator

Create style skills that teach Claude your writing style.

Critical: Audience is AI

This creates AI instructions (for Claude to read), NOT human documentation (for authors to read).

| AI Instructions | Human Documentation | |-----------------|---------------------| | "When writing X, do Y" | "The story uses X because Y" | | Directive commands | Explanatory descriptions | | Pattern + examples | Analysis + reasoning |

Step 1: Ask About Input

Always ask first:

다음 중 어떤 방식으로 스타일 스킬을 만들까요?

1. 기존 글 샘플 제공
   - 1~5장 같은 실제 쓰신 글을 분석해서 패턴 추출

2. 스타일 직접 설명
   - "나는 이렇게 쓴다"를 말로 설명

어느 쪽으로 하시겠어요?

Step 2: Gather Input

From existing prose (preferred):

• Read 2-3 chapters/sections if provided
• Identify consistent patterns: sentence length, paragraph structure, emotional tone, vocabulary, personal anecdotes, transitions

From description:

• Ask specific questions about voice, rhythm, what feels "off" vs "right"

Writing Style: Directive and Technical

Use imperative/command form:

✅ "Use short sentences during emotional moments" ✅ "Avoid transition words like '또한', '그리고'" ✅ "Show vulnerability through specific episodes, not declarations" ❌ "The author tends to use short sentences" (analysis, not instruction)

Always include examples:

markdown
**Personal anecdotes:**
- Always anchor insight to a specific moment/episode
- Example: "일요일 저녁이었습니다. 정산을 하니 새벽이었습니다." not "모임이 힘들었습니다."

Pattern + Example format:

markdown
**[Pattern name]:**
- [Instruction about the pattern]
- Example: [Concrete example from the author's writing]
- Avoid: [What NOT to do]

Output Format

Create a SKILL.md file with these sections:

markdown
---
name: [author]-writing-style
description: Style guide for writing in [author]'s voice. Load this when writing content for [author].
