What it does
Style Maker is an agent skill from smixs/awesome-claude-output-styles. Interviews the user with ~10 questions about how they want Claude to talk, optionally collects writing samples they like and hate, then generates a personal Claude Code output style file and activates it. Use when the user says "make my output style", "build me a custom style", "I want Claude to talk like...", "create a personal writing style", or complains about Claude's tone and wants a tailored fix rather than a preset.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Writing & Content, covering Brand voice and tone. The repository describes itself as: Make Claude talk like a human: 17 installable output styles for Claude Code, built on credited methodologies.
When your agent uses it
- The user says make my output style
- Build me a custom style
- I want Claude to talk like...
- Create a personal writing style
Example prompts
- “make my output style”
- “build me a custom style”
- “I want Claude to talk like...”
- “/style-maker”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- the interview (one block, ~10 questions)
- synthesize the style
- show the draft, iterate
- install and activate
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 52bc415. 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
Style Maker loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 110 tokens; SKILL.md has 904 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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 904 words (~1,678 tokens).
“Build the user a personal output style through a short interview, then write it as ~/.claude/output-styles/.md and activate it. The result must follow the authoring conventions below — countable specs, positive framing, guardrails — not a pile of adjectives.”
