Overview

This skill has your agent read a set of complete articles by one author, account or publication and write down how that writing works: word choice, sentence rhythm, structure, topic choices, sources, viewpoint and image use. The result is a set of style documents and one summary file, Writing-DNA.md, that the agent rereads before each new piece. It suits writers who want to keep their own voice consistent, editors and people studying how others write.

Instead of guessing a tone from two examples, it builds a written style guide from a real body of work that you can read, check and reuse.

Try these first

Start with the first one: it is a small task you can check easily.

  1. Use writing-dna-skill to distill the writing style from every article in [folder of my own articles]. Show me language-dna.md first.First try · writes files

  2. Read all the distilled style documents for [author folder], pick the five closest articles in raw/ and describe what they have in common in voice.

  3. Using those rules, write a first draft about [topic] for [audience].

  4. Check this draft against language-dna.md and structure-patterns.md and list where it drifts from the style: [paste draft]

Good to know

Give your agent a folder of at least 20 full articles by one writer. The skill walks it through six layers of analysis and produces style documents plus Writing-DNA.md, which it rereads before drafting a new article in that style.

Limits

  • The author asks for at least 20 complete articles; a few short samples are not enough for a real distillation.
  • It is meant for style study and your own writing. The author asks you not to use it to pass text off as another writer's work or to publish source articles you have no rights to.
