What it does

This skill tells the agent how to write long-form content such as blog posts, essays, tutorials and newsletter issues so it reads like a specific person wrote it, not generic AI text. It asks the agent to lead with concrete evidence such as examples, numbers, code or screenshots, avoid stock AI phrases and filler, and check drafts against a quality list before delivering. If you provide a voice example or brand guidance, the agent reuses a voice profile from a related brand-voice skill rather than inventing one.

Great for

  • Bloggers or founders who want drafts that sound like their own voice
  • Marketers producing launch posts, guides or newsletter issues
  • Anyone editing an existing long article for structure, pacing and unsupported claims

Skip it if

  • Factual or medical articles where the agent must research sources it cannot access, since the skill forbids inventing facts but does not supply research (it relies on the user's material)
  • Very short copy such as captions or taglines, which the skill is not designed for

Try asking

  • “Draft a 1,200-word technical guide on setting up our CI pipeline, using the commands and output I paste in”
  • “Turn these meeting notes into a blog post in our founder's voice”
  • “Tighten this existing launch article: cut AI clichés and make every section add something new”

  3. 3

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Paste a sample of your own writing or a brand voice profile so the agent can match your tone.
  • Provide the source material (notes, transcripts, data) up front, since the skill will not invent evidence.
  • Ask for an outline first, then review each section before the full draft is written.
