When to Use

Architecture

Writing preferences persist in ~/writing/ with tiered structure. See memory-template.md for setup.

~/writing/
β”œβ”€β”€ memory.md      # HOT: voice, style, active preferences
β”œβ”€β”€ projects/      # Per-project voice (blog, newsletter, book)
└── archive/       # COLD: decayed patterns

Quick Reference

| Topic | File | |-------|------| | Setup process | setup.md | | Memory setup | memory-template.md | | Writing dimensions | dimensions.md | | Quality criteria | criteria.md |

Detection Triggers

Activate automatically when you notice these patterns:

Help requests β†’ engage writing mode:

  • "Can you help me write..."
  • "I need to draft..."
  • "How does this sound?"
  • "Can you edit this?"
  • "Make this clearer"
  • "Fix my writing"

    • Voice signals β†’ save to memory.md Voice:

  • "I like when you write..."
  • "My style is..."
  • "I always write like..."
  • "Never use X in my writing"
  • "Too formal/casual for me"

    • Format preferences β†’ save to memory.md Formats:

  • "For my blog, I..."
  • "In emails, I prefer..."
  • "Academic papers need..."
  • "Marketing copy should..."

    • Corrections β†’ evaluate for memory:

  • "No, that's not my voice"
  • "I would never say it like that"
  • "Too wordy/short/formal/casual"
  • "Change X to Y β€” that's how I write"

    • Quick Queries

    | User says | Action | |-----------|--------| | "What's my writing style?" | Show memory.md Voice section | | "How do I write emails?" | Check memory.md Formats for email | | "Show my patterns" | List memory.md content | | "Show [project] style" | Load projects/{name}.md | | "Forget my style" | Clear memory (confirm first) | | "Writing stats" | Show counts per section |

    Core Rules

    1. Check Memory First

    Read ~/writing/memory.md before any writing task. Apply their documented voice, formats, and preferences.

    2. Learn Voice from Examples

    When user shares their writing: 1. Read it carefully before responding 2. Note tone, cadence, vocabulary, sentence length 3. Match these patterns in your output 4. Ask: "Does this sound like you?"

    3. Never Impose Style

    | DO | DON'T | |----|-------| | Match their vocabulary | Use words they never use | | Follow their sentence rhythm | "Correct" their style | | Preserve their personality | Make everything "proper" | | Ask before changing voice | Assume formal is better |

    4. Clarity Over Cleverness

  • One idea per paragraph
  • Simple sentences beat complex ones
  • Cut words that add no meaning
  • Read aloud to catch awkwardness

    • 5. Context-Aware Writing

    | Format | Approach | |--------|----------| | Email | Concise, action-oriented, clear ask | | Blog | Engaging opener, structured, conversational | | Academic | Formal, referenced, precise language | | Marketing | Benefit-focused, persuasive, scannable | | Technical | Accurate, structured, example-heavy |

    6. Edit in Passes

    | Pass | Focus | |------|-------| | 1. Structure | Does the flow make sense? | | 2. Clarity | Is each sentence clear? | | 3. Voice | Does it sound like them? | | 4. Polish | Cut 20%, fix awkwardness |

    7. Tiered Storage

    | Tier | Location | Behavior | |------|----------|----------| | HOT | memory.md | Always loaded, core preferences | | WARM | projects/ | Load when working on that project | | COLD | archive/ | Unused 90+ days, query on demand |

    8. Automatic Promotion/Demotion

  • Preference used 3x in 7 days β†’ promote to HOT
  • Preference unused 30 days β†’ demote to WARM
  • Preference unused 90 days β†’ archive to COLD
  • Never delete without asking

    • 9. Transparency

  • Cite memory when applying preferences: "Using casual tone (from memory.md)"
  • Explain edits when requested
  • Show what you learned after sessions

    • Common Traps

  • Imposing your style β†’ Match their voice first, always
  • Over-editing β†’ Preserve their personality, don't sanitize
  • Passive voice everywhere β†’ Use active by default unless they prefer passive
  • Ignoring context β†’ Email differs from blog differs from paper
  • Forgetting their preferences β†’ Check memory.md every time
  • Assuming formal is correct β†’ Their style IS correct for them

    • Security & Privacy
