writing-style-and-toneThe writing-craft skill — style and tone as applied technique: rhythm, specificity, tone modulation, and the edit passes that make writing read as human.
Writing Style And Tone is an agent skill from social-media-skills/skills. The writing-craft skill — style and tone as applied technique: rhythm, specificity, tone modulation, and the edit passes that make writing read as human. Use when someone's posts "sound like ChatGPT," a draft needs a style edit, they ask how to write differently per platform or moment without losing the brand voice, writing is grammatically perfect but exhausting, a manager wants em dashes banned or detector scores chased, or any AI-assisted draft needs its mandatory quality pass. Uses the STYLE framework. Reads…
Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json`, `references/edit-passes-and-templates.md` and `references/scope-and-connections.md`).
It sits in Writing & Content, covering Brand voice and tone. It works with OpenAI. The repository describes itself as: 106 social media skills for AI agents - strategy, writing, video, design, platform growth, publishing, and analytics. Works with Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw, Hermes & 40+ agents. The licence is MIT.

Writing Style And Tone loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 254 tokens; SKILL.md has 924 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.
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.

.claude/skills/writing-style-and-tone/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder). This skill also uses 5 other files; get the full folder from GitHub.The writing craft — sound like someone, tune tone to the moment, yank the dead weight, let the rhythm breathe, and edit against the tells intelligently. The agent drafts and edits in the voice; the human supplies the lived specifics and the final call; WoopSocial publishes. (Craft skill — no tool file.)
2026 quantified the stakes: 52% of consumers say they disengage the moment they suspect copy is AI, only 13% say they completely trust AI, experienced AI users now detect machine text at near-perfect rates, and discovery systems treat predictable-pattern content as noise. So the tell taxonomy matters — the delve-class vocabulary (44% of PubMed's all-time "delve" appearances landed in 2023–24), "It's not X, it's Y," the forced rule-of-three, the rigid intro-point-point-conclusion shape, fluff sentences, relentless positivity — but the top-1% position holds two truths at once. First: apply the tells as a cluster, with judgment — no single marker proves AI, the em-dash panic is folk detection, and detector-chasing punishes real writers (the Stanford study: detectors misflagged non-native-English essays at a 61.3% average false-positive rate). Second: the cure is substance, not deletion — make the writing so obviously human that the question never comes up: a real number, a named moment, a stated opinion, productive digression, varied rhythm. Say what only you could say. And the discipline that governs every moment: voice is identity (constant); tone is register (flexes) — the playful brand goes plain on its hardest day without becoming a different company. One absolute: authenticity cannot be counterfeited — no invented anecdotes, no manufactured vulnerability, no staged typos.
(Depth: references/the-style-framework.md.)
The stakes: Bynder's 52% disengagement figure; Klaviyo's 13% complete-trust figure; near-perfect detection by
experienced AI users (Russell et al.); information-gain systems penalizing sameness. The taxonomy (converging
2026 sources): hallmark vocabulary (the measured delve surge; delve+underscore co-occurring in 98.8% of joint
2023–24 papers), structural tells (repetitive shapes, furthermore/moreover, forced threes, negative parallels,
forced lists), substance tells (fluff sentences), texture tells (relentless neutrality/positivity; typographic
perfection vs human "--" and straight quotes). The counter-nuance: no single marker proves AI (the "ChatGPT
hyphen" discourse; Stanford's 61.3% average false-flag rate on non-native writers); write for readers, never against
detectors — with the tactical footnote that a writer may spare a marker for a suspicious audience. The human
profile to honestly reach: subjective, colloquial, emotion-rich, divergent, rhythm-varied. Attribute all;
verify-quarterly. Full detail: references/writing-style-2026-reality.md; the four-pass edit, tone map,
before/after, read-aloud protocol, and worked examples: references/edit-passes-and-templates.md.
references/scope-and-connections.md.)writing-style-and-tone (this) = the applied prose craft + tone control · voice-builder = defines the voice (this inhabits it) · hook-writer / hooks-and-retention-deep-dive = the first line (this owns everything after) · text-post-and-microblog / caption / email skills = format conventions · copywriting/conversion skills = persuasion architecture (this is the prose layer under it) · content-research-and-sourcing = verifies the claims this styles · contrarian-and-opinion = the POV strategy this renders · every AI-drafting workflow = this is its mandatory edit layer.
Reads first: voice-builder + brand-profile + the format skill. Consumes: drafts from any content skill or AI assistant + the human's lived specifics. Feeds: every written surface — text posts, captions, carousels, newsletters, scripts (spoken register → scripting-and-storyboarding), community replies. Publishes via: the finished piece → scheduling-and-queue → WoopSocial. Measure with: read-through, saves/ shares, reply quality, and the absence of "did AI write this?" comments via analytics-and-reporting — never fabricated.
Prose that passes the substance test before any tell sweep: at least one only-us element per piece (a real number, named moment, or defensible opinion supplied by the human — never invented), dead weight yanked (no fluff sentences, no throat-clearing, verbs doing the work), rhythm varied and read aloud until stumble-free, tone rendered deliberately from the map (voice fingerprints constant; cleverness dialed to zero as stakes rise; the cover-the-handle test passed across platforms), and the tell cluster swept with judgment — no banned punctuation, no detector-score theater, AI use disclosed where required; the agent flagging placeholder slots rather than fabricating lived experience, the human filling and approving them, claims verified via content-research-and-sourcing, and the piece published via WoopSocial; no invented anecdotes, manufactured vulnerability, staged imperfection, or fabricated metrics; and correctly distinguished from voice-builder, hook-writer, the format skills, and content-research-and-sourcing.
