If you publish anything with AI’s help, the tells stack up fast.
The same abstract nouns in every post. The hedged symmetry of “it’s not X, it’s Y”. Sentences that all run to a similar length, in a rhythm that never shifts.
Most readers can’t name what is off. But they feel it, and it quietly chips away at the trust your writing is meant to earn.
The obvious fix is to tell the model “write like me”. It rarely works. A one-line instruction can’t carry the hundred small choices that make your writing yours, so the model falls back on its defaults and you are back to editing by hand.
What does work is putting the problem in writing, in two parts.
First, a list of the patterns to strip: the words, the constructions, the tics that read as machine-made. Second, a profile of how you actually write, the words you reach for and the ones you avoid.

Together, those two give the model something concrete to match instead of a vague instruction to interpret. That is all a skill file is: a reusable set of instructions the model reads on every draft, so you never re-explain your voice again.
In the clip I run one prompt with it and without it. Same model, same request, and the gap is obvious. The writing stops sounding like a competent stranger and starts sounding like me.
