Voice DNA Creator

Analyze writing samples to extract and codify a unique voice profile that AI can use to replicate your authentic writing style.

When to Use This Skill

• Setting up a new writing system

• Creating voice profiles for clients (ghostwriting)

• Updating voice profiles after style evolution

• Onboarding into content creation workflow

Requirements

The user must provide:

• Minimum: 3 writing samples (500+ words each)

• Ideal: 5-10 samples across different content types

• Best: Mix of casual (social posts) and formal (articles) content

Analysis Process

Step 1: Collect Samples

Ask: "Please share 3-10 writing samples that represent your authentic voice. These can be:

• Newsletter issues

• Blog posts

• Social media posts

• Emails you've written

• Any content where you feel 'this sounds like me'

Paste them here or point me to files in the knowledge folder."

Step 2: Analyze Core Elements

For each sample, analyze:

Personality Markers

• What personality traits come through?

• What's the energy level?

• How does the writer relate to the reader?

Emotional Range

• What emotions are expressed?

• How intense are they?

• What's the dominant emotional tone?

Communication Style

• Formality level (casual to professional)

• Sentence length patterns

• Paragraph structure

• Use of questions, commands, statements

Language Patterns

• Signature phrases that repeat

• Power words used frequently

• Transition phrases

• Opening and closing patterns

What They Avoid

• Words or phrases never used

• Tones never taken

• Approaches avoided

Formatting Habits

• Emoji usage

• List usage

• Header styles

• Bold/italic patterns

Step 3: Synthesize Findings

Combine analysis across all samples to identify:

• Consistent patterns (appear in most samples)

• Contextual variations (change based on content type)

• Core voice elements (never change)

Step 4: Generate Voice DNA

Create the profile following this structure:

{ "voice_dna": { "version": "1.0", "last_updated": "YYYY-MM-DD", "core_essence": { "identity": "", "primary_role": "", "unique_angle": "" }, "personality_traits": { "primary": [], "how_it_shows": {} }, "emotional_palette": { "dominant_emotions": [], "emotional_range": {}, "energy_level": "" }, "communication_style": { "formality": "", "complexity": "", "sentence_structure": {}, "paragraph_style": "" }, "language_patterns": { "signature_phrases": [], "power_words": [], "words_to_avoid": [], "transitions": [] }, "never_say": { "phrases": [], "tones": [], "approaches": [] }, "formatting_preferences": {}, "content_philosophy": {}, "voice_examples": { "opening_lines": [], "closing_lines": [], "transitional_phrases": [] } } }

Output Instructions

After analysis, present key findings in a summary

Generate the complete JSON voice profile

Save to /context/voice-dna.json

Provide 3 example sentences written in the captured voice for validation

Ask: "Does this capture your voice? What would you adjust?"

Best Practices

• Focus on TONE and PERSONALITY, not just word choice

• Avoid creating a profile that just repeats phrases

• Capture the "feeling" of the writing, not just patterns

• Include what NOT to do (equally important)

• Make the profile actionable for content generation

Validation Test

After creating the profile, write a short paragraph on any topic using ONLY the voice DNA as guidance. Ask the user: "Does this sound like you?"

If not, iterate on the profile based on feedback.

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

• Don't just list frequently used words

• Don't create a parody of the voice (too exaggerated)

• Don't ignore context (social posts ≠ articles)

• Don't miss the underlying personality

• Don't forget emotional elements
