Writing Signature — Development skill for Claude Code

writing-signature

**Teach Claude to write like you, from your own texts.**

`writing-signature` is a [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) skill. You point it at things you have written (a thesis, reports, essays, notes, in pdf/docx/odt/txt/md) and it guides Claude through building a second, personal skill, `write-like-`. From then on, asking *"write this like me"* produces text with your sentence rhythm, your way of building an argument, your vocabulary, and a numeric check that catches drafts drifting away from your voice.

It is about **your voice**, built only from **texts you wrote**. It is not a tool for imitating other people, and the personal skill it creates reminds you to disclose AI assistance wherever rules require it.
