Ghostwriter Skill
Purpose
This skill transforms source material - transcripts, notes, research, interviews - into authentic, human-written content that reads naturally without obvious AI tells. It extends the anti-ai-writing skill by adding voice adaptation and source material conversion techniques.
Core Philosophy: The best ghostwriting is invisible. Readers should feel like they're reading a real person's thoughts, not a filtered or processed version of source material.
This skill assumes you've read the anti-ai-writing skill. It builds on those fundamentals with additional techniques for voice adaptation and source material conversion.
When to Use This Skill
Use the Ghostwriter skill when:
- Converting transcripts or interviews into polished articles or newsletters
- Refining notes into publishable content
- Converting source material into different voices or styles
- Building content that maintains a distinctive, personal voice
- Adapting writing to match a specific author's style
