write-like-me

write like me

Your agent writes emails, Slack messages and PR descriptions for you. They don't sound like you.

They sound like every other AI: "I hope this finds you well", "Let's dive in", em dashes everywhere, three bullet points with bold lead-ins. You end up rewriting everything, or you send it anyway and people can tell.

me is an Agent Skill that fixes this. Run /me init once. It reads a few things you've actually written, asks about six quick questions and saves a style profile. After that, whenever your agent writes something as you, it writes in your voice.

/me init                          # 5-minute setup: samples + a short interview
/me reply to Sam: can't make thursday, suggest next week
/me learn                         # learn from how you edited the last draft
/me show                          # what the agent thinks your voice is
/me edit stop using "just"        # change the profile directly

The agent also uses the profile on its own when it drafts something you'll send, such as a commit message, a PR description or an email. You don't have to type /me every time.

See EXAMPLES.md for before-and-after samples.

How it works

1. Samples beat adjectives. "Casual but professional" means nothing. Your real Slack messages show that you write in lowercase, never use a full stop at the end, and say "yep" instead of "yes". init builds rules from what you actually do.
2. One file, yours. Your voice lives in ~/.me/STYLE.md, plain markdown that you can read and edit. It's never stored in the skill folder, so updates can't overwrite it.
3. Registers. You write differently in Slack and in an email to a stranger. The profile keeps rules for each place you write.
4. It learns from your edits. When you rewrite a draft, /me learn compares the two versions, separates voice changes from content changes, and suggests new rules. Nothing changes without your approval.
5. No caricature. Occasional quirks like "…" or CAPS are measured per 1000 words, so a two-line reply doesn't carry your whole quirk load. Habits you have every time, like lowercase in Slack, apply everywhere.
6. An anti-AI list. It ships with a list of common AI tells. Your profile can override any of them; if you really do love em dashes, keep them.

Where your profile lives

Every draft ends with a line such as voice: ~/.me/STYLE.md, so you can see which profile was used. On a teammate's machine or in CI, ~/.me/STYLE.md doesn't exist. If no profile is found, the skill says so instead of quietly falling back to the default voice. To make a voice travel with a repo, commit its .me/STYLE.md.

Install

Claude Code

/plugin marketplace add ddutchie/write-like-me
/plugin install me@write-like-me

Then run /me init.

Any agent (Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, Copilot, OpenCode, …)

npx skills add ddutchie/write-like-me

Manually

Copy skills/me/ into your agent's skills folder, for example ~/.claude/skills/me/.

Claude.ai

1. Download me.zip from the latest release and upload it under Customize → Skills.
2. Run /me init. Claude.ai can't save files, so at the end it gives you your profile as text.
3. Save that text as STYLE.md inside the me/ folder, zip the folder again and re-upload it.

Privacy

Your profile and samples stay in plain files on your machine. The skill never sends them anywhere. .gitignore excludes .me/, but check before you commit a project-level profile to a public repo.

Contributing

The most valuable contributions are:

• New entries for ai-tells.md, especially from languages other than English.
• Better interview questions.
• Before-and-after examples for EXAMPLES.md, with permission from whoever wrote them.

Keep SKILL.md under 500 lines (spec).

To release, bump version in SKILL.md, .claude-plugin/plugin.json and marketplace.json, merge to main, then push a matching tag:

git tag v0.2.0 && git push origin v0.2.0

A GitHub Action checks the tag matches all three versions, builds me.zip and publishes the release.
