writing-style-and-tone

From the author

The writing-craft skill — style and tone as applied technique: rhythm, specificity, tone modulation, and the edit passes that make writing read as human. Use when someone's posts "sound like ChatGPT," a draft needs a style edit, they ask how to write differently per platform or moment without losing the brand voice, writing is grammatically perfect but exhausting, a manager wants em dashes banned or detector scores chased, or any AI-assisted draft needs its mandatory quality pass. Uses the STYLE framework. Reads voice-builder + brand-profile + the format skill first. Tells must be read as a cluster with judgment — no single marker proves AI, and detectors misflag real writers; the winning move is substance so owned the question never arises. Voice is identity; tone is register. The agent drafts; the HUMAN supplies lived specifics and final say; never invents anecdotes or staged typos. Distinct from voice-builder, hook-writer, the format skills, and content-research-and-sourcing.
