From the source SKILL.md

Voice is the quality that makes a writer recognizable across different works and subjects. Style is the set of technical choices -- diction, syntax, rhythm, density -- that produce voice. Voice without craft is personality without skill. Craft without voice is competence without soul. The goal is both: a writer whose technical choices serve a distinctive vision. This skill covers what voice is, how style works as a system of choices, the major stylistic traditions, style analysis techniques, register management, and the path from imitation to originality.
