Writing Voice

Draft in the user's voice, then iterate fast.

References

• Read references/voice-dna-framework.md first.
• Read references/voice-dna-template.md and replace placeholders for your user.
• Use references/humanizer-mini.md for a lightweight anti-AI cleanup pass.
• Use references/critic-protocol.md when user asks to run the critic.

Modes

• draft (default): create a fresh draft in voice.
• humanize-mini: clean an existing draft with the lightweight pass.
• critic: run iterative self-critique when user says "run the critic on this".

Workflow (draft mode)

1. Confirm brief quickly if missing essentials:

• format (post/email/thread/note)
• audience
• goal/CTA
• length target

2. Draft v1 in the target voice:

• follow voice DNA rules strictly
• keep claims concrete
• use real writing samples as primary calibration source

3. Run mini humanizer pass (light touch):

• convert list-heavy blocks into prose where it reads better
• remove unnecessary emoji
• remove em dashes
• normalize title-case headings when it clashes with voice style

4. Run voice QA before sending:

• banned phrases check
• forbidden formatting check
• tone match check against the user’s own writing samples
• ensure cleanup did not flatten personality

5. Return draft + review prompt:

• ask for targeted edits (tone, structure, examples, length, CTA)
• offer quick v2/v3 iterations

Critic mode ("run the critic on this")

Run up to 3 rounds max.

Per round:

1. Critic review against voice DNA rules + writing samples + current brief.
2. Assign rating: Needs Work, Good, or Excellent.
3. If Excellent, stop.
4. If below Excellent, provide specific feedback tied to exact rule/sample mismatch, then revise.

Output for critic mode:

• final revised draft
• short critic log with round ratings + key fixes

Iteration protocol

When feedback arrives:

• preserve core message
• apply requested deltas only
• keep voice consistency
• return revised draft directly, then ask if they want one more pass

Output style

• Default: one clean draft, no meta commentary.
• Voice fidelity beats over-cleaning: keep personality, opinions, and natural rhythm.
• If useful, append a short "Options" block with 2-3 alternative hooks or endings.
