Five prompts that study your writing, interview you and save a voice file

Founders setting up AI voice for the first time

What they report

No metric reported. Claude Code Club says the five prompts take about 15 minutes and you never repeat the setup. They recommend 3 to 5 samples from different places (a post, an email, a caption) because variety teaches more than volume.

Example

Prompt 1 asks Claude to write one paragraph two ways, 'Version 1: generic AI. Version 2: me. Make the difference obvious.' Seeing the gap makes it easy to tell Claude what to keep.

How to do it

  1. Collect 3 to 5 things you wrote, from different channels.
  2. Run the study prompt and compare the two versions.
  3. Let Claude interview you about how you want to sound and who you're talking to.
  4. Save the result as voice.md.
  5. Test it on a real post and have Claude grade the draft against each rule.
  6. Make it permanent with a line in CLAUDE.md (Claude Code) or project instructions (Claude app).

The prompt

Fill in the [brackets]
Copy prompt

1) I'm going to paste [3-5] things I actually wrote, from different places if possible, a post, an email, a caption: [paste them]. Study how I write. Sentence length, words I overuse, how I open, how I close, what I never say. Then show me: write one paragraph about [any topic], two ways, one paragraph each. Version 1: generic AI. Version 2: me. Make the difference obvious. 2) Now interview me, one question at a time, about how I want to sound and who I'm talking to. Five questions max. 3) Write all of this into a file called voice.md as short, specific rules. Save it. 4) Test it. Write a [post/email] about [a topic you'd actually post about] using voice.md. Then grade it against each rule in voice.md, one by one: what would I change? Fix it and show me both versions. 5) From now on, everything you write for me runs through voice.md first. If I paste something that doesn't sound like me, flag the exact lines and rewrite only those.
