Personal voice skill
The assignment
Create your personal voice skill — one that communicates in your style. Pull from LinkedIn posts and writing samples.
✳What Shaswat shipped
A persistent, reusable writing Skill built in Cursor to fix generic drafts and inconsistent tone across chats, using a set of approved examples as reference.
✳Our read on this build
Shaswat shipped a LinkedIn post. This read comes from the artifact and Shaswat's own account of it — no scores, just what the build does and does not show.
What it demonstrates
- The voice has a source: LinkedIn posts — which is what stops the output sounding like everyone else's feed.
- It is packaged like an asset — an examples file and reuse across sessions — so it outlives the session it was made in.
- And the resemblance is shown rather than claimed: worked examples.
Take this awayNote what makes this reusable — it is written down. Instructions, examples and a description mean the next person, or the next you, gets the voice without a briefing call.
✳Why this quest matters
A reusable Skill beats a clever one-off prompt every time. Packaging your voice as a named, described, instructed artifact is the difference between a trick you re-type and an asset you — and your team — can run tomorrow.
✳What separated the strongest builds
Seeded on writing that is actually yours
Real LinkedIn posts and writing samples as source material. A voice built from adjectives — 'punchy, warm, contrarian' — sounds like everyone else's.
Packaged as an asset, not a prompt
A name, a description, instructions, a file someone else could run tomorrow. That is the difference between a skill and a paragraph you re-type.
A voice match a reader can judge
The skill's output shown next to something the builder genuinely wrote, so the resemblance is visible rather than asserted.
