I'm sure it's trivial for somebody who has studied communication or contemporary linguistics, just as it's trivial for me to ask an LLM for tenant-isolation using row-level security in an app
Worked like a charm. This is the prompt I used[3] to write a version for the company I own with my wife, if it helps anyone. The personal version, which lead to the `jamenizer` skill, is very similar, but has some personal details in it.

Why do you assume I would do anything against my wife's will?
And I never said anything about "optimizing myself out of existence", this comment was still written by me and no LLM touched it.
But when writing comments on code or editing articles, reviews, and whatever long-form writing I give an LLM to review or edit, it's nice to know it'll keep my writing style, voice, and tone.
I'm already obligated to use LLMs at work, otherwise I might lose my job, so why wouldn't I want to have it write in a way I can actually understand?
The fact that you're doing that with your wife, with her consent, is no different. The real value is in keeping you grounded by someone outside tech.
Respectfully, that is how one talks about their pet or their kid but not their partner.
But this is not my beer, but by god this platform.
Fortunately it won't come to that, because there is a real world outside of this bubble.
So the "radical normalists" will be just normal people, and the application of force will not be terrorism but democratically legitimized.
Reading what I did get out of it was just a bit uncanny valley strangely enough. Very much had some "hey there fellow kids" energy.
But asking for something more nuanced, in the range of regular speech, requires the correct lingo
But you know what you like, and you know what bothers you, and the good news is that you don't have to one-shot a solution. You can create a skill and refine it over time. As you test and/or use it, identify copy you don't like and tell the LLM what you prefer instead, and ask it to distill and generalize that feedback into the skill.
Writing is similar. I enjoy well written texts, but that doesn't mean I can write them myself, or can tell an AI how to write in that way.
Right, but you know what you like. The point is that you can tell the chef "too spicy" and send back the plate until you get what you want. He can then remember that, since you're his favorite regular.
I just went through this with a release notes skill. I brainstormed with the LLM about what I wanted, edited initial results when I saw something I didn't like or could be made better, than asked the LLM to capture that in the skill. Now I almost never need to touch it.
You don’t need a built in feature though, you can just paste examples into the prompt and tell it to write in the same style.
That works right now.
