Match Style

Aligns a draft to a target voice without touching its substance. Three modes, combinable:

• author voice — match the researcher's own prior papers (terminology, rhythm, hedging, structure) so a new draft reads as theirs.
• venue register — match the published style of the target venue (via study-exemplars).
• co-author merge — make a multi-author draft read in one consistent voice instead of a patchwork.

This is part of the acceptance-maximizing toolkit, alongside polish-prose (de-AI-ify + tighten), benchmark-paper (venue-fit score), simulate-reviewers (content critique), and preflight-check (desk-reject defects). Be honest with the user: no rewrite guarantees acceptance. What style alignment buys is consistency, venue fit, and readability — real but bounded contributors to how a paper is received.

When to use vs. polish-prose

• polish-prose fixes objective problems (AI tells, wordiness, inconsistent terms) against general/venue norms.
• match-style aligns to a specific target voice you provide (your corpus and/or venue exemplars). Run polish-prose first to clean, then match-style to align.
