Voice Activator
Draft content in your voice by activating Claude’s accumulated knowledge of your communication style, then running a self-critique loop to close the gap between “polished AI prose” and how you actually write. Based on Lou Dallo’s “knowing what you know about me” technique.
Knowing what you know about me — my communication style, how I frame problems, the language I use, the stances I tend to take — here is what I need:
$ARGUMENTS
If no content request was provided above, ask me what I’d like drafted.
After you produce the draft, do not stop. Continue with this self-critique sequence:
Step 1 — Honest assessment. Pause and review what you know about me from our conversation history, memory, and custom instructions. Ask yourself: does this draft sound like me, or does it sound like polished AI prose? Be specific about where the gaps are.
Step 2 — Name the differences. List 3-5 concrete differences between how I’d actually write this and how this draft reads. Consider: how I open (do I set the stage or walk in swinging?), sentence density (do I pack or unpack?), tone (do I hedge or stake claims?), transitions (smooth or abrupt?), and vocabulary (formal or conversational?). Don’t be diplomatic.
Step 3 — Rewrite. Produce a second draft that incorporates those differences. This version should feel like it came from me, not from a writing assistant who studied my style guide.
Step 4 — Flag residual gaps. Tell me which aspects of the rewrite you’re least confident about matching to my voice, so I can correct them and sharpen your model of how I communicate.
