Good question! I didn't because I already have another custom skill which also embeds the specific tone of voice I wanted for this newsletter. Plus, every newsletter goes through human editing. If I had to work with higher volume of content production, I would for sure include this skill in the workflow ;)
I have been devouring your content since yesterday and I must say it is so valuable. I have created content with some of your tools already so imagine how excited I was today to find this latest one. Thank you.
The voice fine-tuning is a hard one. I personally use three layers like you suggest (my voice, anti-AI-writing, and my beliefs).
The one thing that helps is my feedback loop. I have a daily routine that checks everything in outputs folders and find deltas with my voice style guides (3 above). Then I decide if it needs to enter as corrections.
I am 70 and not techy. I’ve simply instructed Claude to refer to Anne Lamott’s book Good Writing and to use her Rules. Then to please explain to me which rules it used in any editing to my writing so that I can grow in my writing abilities. I’ve told it that I don’t want my writing to sound like AI. I’ve also directed it to Donald Miller’s Story Brand concepts as the reader being the Hero of my articles. Seems to be working out fine.
Did you run the skill on this article?

It was written by a middle schooler who learned what the ‘enter’ key was.

Thanks a lot! Happy to know you're finding value in our recommended skills :))
Love what you’re doing!

It slowly builds up 😉
Sounds awesome, but the proof’s in the pudding. Could you share a before & after?
I would say it's even faster if you try it and see for yourself :P
That’s a very useful tool that I am going to try out. Thanks. I usually instruct Claude not to sound like AI but I guess it is naive 😊
Unfortunately sometimes you have to reinforce the concept :P
“It’s that AI text has fingerprints — and most people don’t know how to remove them.”
I’ve chosen to see this as intentional irony.

“Here’s what’s worth knowing” 😆
Exactly! Such phrases are dead giveaways. Drive me crazy to hear them coming out of human mouths on YouTube these days.
I think too many people use AI to write and not enough use it to challenge their thinking.
It's a great tool to create clarity in your stance. The human-ness is in the thinking and the communicating.
Have it help you understand where you missed the mark in being clear from your own writing and refine it yourself.
How does this compare to ghost? Ok
