build-write-like-me

build-write-like-me is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ronaknnathani/relay. It costs 226 tokens per session (3,242 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for turning a person's real writing samples into a reusable writing-voice skill for AI agents. It analyzes the samples and documents the patterns it finds rather than inventing a style.

In plain words
What is it for?
For collecting writing samples, analyzing the author's voice, and producing a skill that guides future writing in that voice.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to restate tone and wording preferences every time an agent drafts or edits text.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

build-write-like-me scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/analyze_style.py, scripts/extract_transcripts.py, scripts/fetch_github.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Write-Like-Me Builder

This skill builds a personalized writing-voice skill for one person. The output is a SKILL.md that any agent can load to draft or edit prose in that person's voice. You produce it by gathering the person's real writing from sources they provide, analyzing it (both statistically and by reading it), and synthesizing a profile grounded in real examples.

The core principle: a voice profile is only as good as the real writing behind it. Don't invent traits. Every claim in the generated skill should trace to something the person actually wrote. Quote them verbatim wherever you can.

The workflow

  1. Collect sources from the invoker (interactive prompt).
  2. Set up the workspace (an output skill dir with a source/ subdir for raw data).
  3. Gather raw data into source/: {{subagent:large_context}} for delegated source workers where available, and use bundled scripts.
  4. Analyze the data: run stylometrics, filter out content the person didn't actually write, and extract verbatim voice samples per register.
  5. Synthesize the personalized SKILL.md voice profile.
  6. Self-consistency check and present.

Do these in order. Steps 3 and 4 are where delegated workers do the heavy lifting so the raw data never floods your context.


Step 1: Collect sources

Ask the invoker which sources they want to include using whatever user-question mechanism is available (multi-select if supported; otherwise ask a concise numbered question). Don't assume anything about their environment or what's installed — different users have different MCP servers and skills. Offer:

  • GitHub — PR descriptions and review/issue comments they authored. Need their GitHub login and the org(s)/repo(s) to search. Usually the richest source of working voice.
  • Google Docs — design docs, proposals, strategy docs, feedback. They provide doc links/IDs or a folder.
  • Local filesystem — a blog repo, a docs directory, exported notes, an .mbox, a Slack export, anything on disk. They provide the path(s). Always offer this — it is the most portable source and sidesteps every tooling gap.
  • Session transcripts — their own typed messages to coding agents. Great for the casual/chat register. Yes/no.
  • Slack — yes/no.
  • Email — yes/no.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
