What it does

Who Am I Writing For is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Build a picture of the person on the other end from real posts and real responses rather than from a persona template. Use when someone does not know who they are writing for, is attracting the wrong audience, wants to check who is actually reading, or asks for a customer persona. Do not invent a named person with a photo and a coffee order, and do not guess demographics that cannot be seen.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `skill-report.json`).

It sits in Writing & Content. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • Someone does not know who they are writing for
  • Is attracting the wrong audience
  • Wants to check who is actually reading
  • Asks for a customer persona

Example prompts

  • “/who-am-i-writing-for”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. use evidence, not imagination
  2. separate what you can know from what you cannot
  3. write it as questions, not as a profile
  4. collect their words for the problem
  5. find where they already are
  6. say how thin the evidence is

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 44923f3. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Who Am I Writing For loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 104 tokens; SKILL.md has 621 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~104
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 621 words (~1,001 tokens).

“Persona work usually produces a fictional person with a name, an age, a job title and a preferred brand of coffee, none of which changes a single sentence of a single post. It feels like strategy and it is set…”
