Intro to Claude — Book 8 · Getting Claude to Sound Right

There is a particular disappointment where the answer is correct, complete, well organised — and unusable, because it does not sound like you. This book fixes it. The four dials behind every piece of writing: naming an audience's *state* rather than just who they are, giving tone as a pair with a negative attached, giving length as a number, and deciding the shape before the words. Then the shortcut: stop describing your voice and extract it — hand Claude four things you have already written and ask for the rules, keep the half you agree with, and put them where they apply automatically. Plus rewriting other people's text into plain language without quietly softening the bad news, and the six prompts worth keeping forever.
