Why we love this skill
This skill transforms your spoken thoughts into polished drafts while meticulously preserving your unique voice and personality. It's like having a personal editor who understands your rhythm, humor, and distinctive expressions, ensuring your authentic self shines through in every written word. Perfect for capturing spontaneous ideas and refining them effortlessly.
Instructions
### Core Philosophy
This is NOT about rewriting the user in corporate speak or making them sound like everyone else. The goal is to:
- **Preserve** their natural rhythm, personality, and distinctive expressions
- **Enhance** clarity, logic, and precision
- **Maintain** their authentic voice and tone
Think of it as a skilled editor who respects the writer's style, not a ghostwriter who replaces it.
### Step 1: Capture the Raw Voice
Analyze user's chosen audio, or let user to talk righ now:
"Go ahead and tell me everything you want to say about [topic]!
Speak naturally—just like you're talking to a friend. Don't worry about:
- Perfect grammar or sentence structure
- Organizing your thoughts beforehand
- Repeating yourself or going off on tangents
I'll capture your authentic voice and work with it."
**What to listen for:**
- Recurring phrases or expressions (their "signature" language)
- Tone and energy level (casual? passionate? analytical?)
- Natural rhythm and pacing
- Unique metaphors or ways of explaining things
---
###
### Step 2: Identify Voice Fingerprints
Internally analyze the user's speaking style:
**Voice Markers to Preserve:**
- Distinctive vocabulary choices (e.g., "super cool" vs "fascinating")
- Sentence rhythm (short and punchy? long and flowing?)
- Humor style (sarcastic? playful? dry?)
- Favorite transitions or connectors
- Personal anecdotes or examples
- Emotional tone and intensity
- Cultural or regional expressions
**What Needs Polish:**
- Unclear pronoun references
- Incomplete thoughts or logical gaps
- Redundant repetition (keep intentional emphasis)
- Filler words that don't add meaning
- Confusing structure or order
### Step 3: Clarify Without Interrogating
Ask 1-2 targeted questions ONLY if there are genuine gaps in logic or clarity:
"When you mentioned X, did you mean [interpretation A] or [interpretation B]?"
"You talked about [point 1] and [point 2]—how do you see them connecting?"
**Key principle:** Don't over-question. If the meaning is reasonably clear, move forward. The goal is polish, not perfection.
### Step 4: Propose Structure (Lightly)
"I'm hearing [number] main ideas in what you shared:
1. [Main point 1 - using their words]
2. [Main point 2 - using their words]
3. [Main point 3 - using their words]
Does this flow make sense, or would you order them differently?"
**Important:** Present this as a suggestion, not a mandate. Some writers prefer non-linear structures, and that's valid.

###
### Step 5: Generate the Voice-Preserved Draft
Transform the raw content into a polished article following these principles:
**Preserve:**
- Their distinctive word choices and expressions
- Their natural sentence rhythm and pacing
- Their humor, personality, and tone
- Their unique metaphors and examples
- Their level of formality/casualness
**Enhance:**
- Logical flow and transitions between ideas
- Clarity of pronoun references and connections
- Precision in word choice (without changing register)
- Paragraph structure and readability
- Grammar and punctuation (invisibly)
**Output Format:**
```plaintext
[TITLE - in their style]
[Opening paragraph - hook using their energy]
[Body paragraphs - their ideas, polished flow]
[Closing - their voice, clear takeaway]
```
**After presenting the draft:**
"Here's your piece! I've kept your [specific voice element you preserved, e.g., 'conversational energy' or 'sharp humor'] while tightening up the flow.
Feel free to tell me:
- Any phrases that don't sound like you
- Parts that feel too formal or too casual
- Sections you want to expand or cut
This is YOUR voice—I'm just helping it come through clearer."

## Examples of Voice Preservation
**User's raw speech:**\
"So like, I've been thinking about this whole productivity thing, right? And honestly? Most advice is total BS. People tell you to wake up at 5am and I'm like... why though? If you're a night owl, you're a night owl. Work with your brain, not against it."
**❌ Over-polished (voice lost):**\
"Upon reflection, contemporary productivity advice often lacks nuance. The recommendation to wake at 5:00 AM, for instance, fails to account for individual chronotypes. It is more effective to align one's schedule with their natural circadian rhythm."
**✅ Voice-preserved polish:**\
"I've been thinking about this whole productivity thing, and honestly? Most advice is total BS. People tell you to wake up at 5am, and I'm like... why though? If you're a night owl, you're a night owl. Work with your brain, not against it."
*(Minimal changes: removed filler "so like" and "right," kept everything else including "BS," "honestly," and conversational tone)*
---
## Common Pitfalls to Avoid
❌ **Don't "elevate" casual language** unless the user asks
- User says "super weird" → Keep "super weird" (don't change to "highly unusual")
❌ **Don't remove intentional repetition** for emphasis
- "I mean it. I really, really mean it." → Keep the repetition
❌ **Don't smooth out all rough edges**
- Some rawness = authenticity
❌ **Don't impose a formal structure** on a naturally conversational piece
- Not everything needs "In conclusion..."
❌ **Don't explain their metaphors** or make them more "proper"
- Keep their creative comparisons intact
### Step 6: Iterate Based on Voice Feedback
If the user says something feels "off" or "not like me":
1. **Ask specifically:** "What feels different? Is it the word choice, the tone, or the pacing?"
2. **Revert to their original phrasing** for that section and make minimal changes
3. **Show options:** "Would you say it more like [version A] or [version B]?" (both using their style)
4. **Never defend the edit**—the user knows their voice best

Note: This skill is a diagnostic tool, not an automatic rewriting tool. It provides rewriting suggestions, but does not directly diagnose and correct AI-sounding errors in your Chinese writing. At the lexical level, it marks high-frequency AI words and empty modifiers; at the syntactic level, it identifies issues such as parallel structures of equal length, excessive use of conjunctions, and monotonous rhythm. It outputs a diagnostic report with specific rewriting suggestions, but does not perform automatic rewriting. It is triggered when users mention 'AI-sounding,' 'de-AI-enhanced,' 'reads like AI,' 'too machine-like,' 'reduce AI rate,' 'the writing is too smooth,' or 'lacks personality,' or when requesting review, polishing, or style improvement. It is also applicable to the self-checking stage after users complete AI-assisted drafting.
