What it does
Style Learner is an agent skill from athola/claude-night-market. Extracts writing style patterns from exemplar text into a reusable profile. Use when creating a style guide or learning a specific author's voice.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files (for example `modules/exemplar-reference.md`, `modules/feature-extraction.md` and `modules/style-application.md`).
It sits in Writing & Content, covering Brand voice and tone. The repository describes itself as: 23 Claude Code plugins: TDD enforcement hooks, git/PR workflows, spec-driven development, code review, project lifecycle, fix-from-error, maintenance automation, context… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Creating a style guide
- Learning a specific authors voice
Example prompts
- “Use the style-learner skill to extract writing style patterns from exemplar text into a reusable profile”
- “/style-learner”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9f3eb00. 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 (its code samples are markdown and yaml).
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
Style Learner loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 511 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

Style Learning Skill
A style profile is metrics plus exemplars. Either alone is too weak to reproduce a voice.
Extract style from exemplar text and codify it as a profile
that downstream skills (scribe:doc-generator,
scribe:voice-generate) can apply consistently.
When NOT To Use
- Extracting a person's voice from their samples (use
scribe:voice-extract) - Reviewing text against a profile (use
scribe:voice-review)
Approach: Feature Extraction and Exemplar Reference
The skill combines two methods because each fails alone:
- Feature Extraction: quantifiable metrics (sentence length distribution, vocabulary complexity, structural patterns). Reproducible but soulless.
- Exemplar Reference: specific passages that demonstrate the target style. Vivid but hard to apply at scale.
Together they form a profile precise enough to score new text and rich enough to guide rewrites. Metrics catch what exemplars miss. Exemplars carry what metrics flatten.

style-learner:exemplar-collected- Source texts gatheredstyle-learner:features-extracted- Quantitative metrics computedstyle-learner:exemplars-selected- Representative passages identifiedstyle-learner:profile-generated- Style guide createdstyle-learner:validation-complete- Profile tested against new content
Step 1: Collect Exemplar Text
Gather representative samples of the target style.
Minimum requirements:
- At least 1000 words of exemplar text
- Multiple samples preferred (shows consistency)
- Same genre/context as target output

| Exclamation rate | 0-1/1000 words | Enthusiasm level |
| Ellipsis rate | 0-1/1000 words | Trailing thought style |
Step 3: Exemplar Selection
Load: @modules/exemplar-reference.md
Select 3-5 passages (50-150 words each) that best represent the target style.
Selection criteria:
- Demonstrates characteristic sentence rhythm
- Shows typical vocabulary choices
- Represents the desired tone
- Avoids atypical or exceptional passages
Exemplar Template
### Exemplar 1: [Label]
**Source**: [filename, lines X-Y]
**Demonstrates**: [what aspect of style]
> [Quoted passage]
**Key characteristics**:
- [Observation 1]
- [Observation 2]Step 4: Generate Style Profile
Combine extracted features and exemplars into a usable style guide.

anti_patterns:
- [Pattern to avoid 1]
- [Pattern to avoid 2]Step 5: Validation
Test the profile against new content:
- Generate sample content using the profile
- Compare metrics to extracted features
- Have user evaluate voice/tone match
- Refine profile based on feedback
Validation Checklist
- Metrics within 20% of exemplar averages
- No anti-pattern violations
- Tone matches user expectation
- Vocabulary aligns with exemplars
- Structure follows profile guidelines
Usage in Generation
When generating new content, reference the profile:
Generate [content type] following the style profile:
- Voice: [from profile]
- Sentence length: target ~[X] words, vary between [Y-Z]
- Use exemplar passage as tone reference:
> [exemplar quote]
- Avoid: [anti-patterns from profile]Module Reference
- See
modules/style-application.mdfor applying learned styles to new content
Integration with slop-detector
After generating content, run slop-detector to verify:
- No AI markers introduced
- Style metrics match profile
- Anti-patterns avoided
Exit Criteria
- Style profile document created
- At least 3 exemplar passages included
- Quantitative metrics extracted
- Anti-patterns from slop-detector integrated
- Validation test passed
