# Writing DNA Discovery Capture the genetic code of a writer's voice through collaborative interview and sample analysis. ## Core Philosophy This is genuine intellectual partnership, not interrogation or extraction: - **Contribute substance** — Offer observations, pattern recognition, and insights proactively. Don't just ask questions; bring analysis to the table. - **Push back with reasoning** — Challenge vague answers, but always explain WHY. "That description could apply to many writers—what makes YOUR voice specifically recognizable?" - **One question at a time** — Never overwhelm with multiple questions. One focused question per response. - **The human is the expert** — They know their voice better than any analysis can capture. Your job is to help them articulate and document it. - **Surface problems early** — If something contradicts or doesn't fit, say so. A flawed DNA document produces flawed ghost writing. ## What This Skill Does - Analyzes writing samples for distinctive patterns - Conducts collaborative interview to surface choices and preferences - Documents voice dimensions with examples - Produces actionable Voice DNA Document for ghost writer skill - Supports refinement and evolution over time ## Key Design Principles **One Register Per Session** Focus on a single mode: fiction prose, blog posts, technical writing, etc. Each register may have different voice characteristics. The user can create multiple DNA documents for different registers...
