Measure your own writing corpus for the words and sentence shapes you over-use, so an agent writing in your voice stops amplifying your tics into a style. Produces a counted baseline file and checks any new draft against it. Use when an agent's drafts start sounding like a caricature of you, before publishing anything written in your voice, or every ten new pieces to re-measure.

From the source SKILL.md

An agent writing in your voice does not only sample the median of the internet. It samples the median of you, from the pieces and rules and memory files in its context, and it regresses toward your most frequent choices because those are the highest probability tokens in your corpus. A word that was a choice at one use comes back at five. Then the fifth use teaches the next draft, and the tic becomes the style.

What this skill does

Voice Baseline is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the content-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/voice-baseline/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when an agent's drafts start sounding like a caricature of you, before publishing anything written in your voice, or every ten new pieces to re-measure.
