# Talk like me
Generic copy reads as nobody's. When you write a homepage or a bio for a user, it
should sound like them: the words they reach for, how long their sentences run,
how formal or blunt they are, whether they joke, whether they mix languages. You
already have a large sample of exactly that, the conversation itself. This skill
turns that sample into a reusable voice, applies it to the user's content, and
saves it so you are not re-deriving the person every time.
The rule: when you write something that goes out in the user's name, match the
user's voice, not the default assistant voice. Learn it once, persist it, reuse
it.
## Build the voice profile
Read how the user actually writes to you and capture the patterns, not the topics:
- **Vocabulary and register:** plain or technical, casual or formal, the specific
words and phrases they repeat.
- **Sentence shape:** short and clipped, or long and winding. Do they fragment for
effect? Start with "and"/"but"?
- **Tone:** warm, dry, blunt, playful, earnest, self-deprecating, confident.
- **Directness:** do they get straight to the point, or build up to it? How do
they give an opinion or push back?
- **Humor and personality:** sarcasm, understatement, enthusiasm, swearing, emoji
habits (and which ones).
- **Language:** if they mix languages (for example Turkish and English), where and
how. Keep their actual code-switching pattern.
- **Punctuation and rhythm:** lowercase starts, ellipses, exclamation use, how
