# Multi-Author Harmoniser
## What This Skill Does
Takes a draft written by two or more contributors and rewrites it as a single, consistent voice — smoothing over clashing tones, register shifts, and stylistic inconsistencies while preserving every author's factual content and reported material.
## When To Use This Skill
- When two reporters have jointly written a news feature and their sections read noticeably differently
- When a freelance contribution has been stitched into a staff-written piece and the seams are visible
- When a multi-part investigation has been written by different team members over several months
- When translated content from different translators has been combined into one article
- Before a long-form piece goes to a senior editor and the multiple-author origin would be obvious
## What You Need To Provide
**Required:** The full draft text to be harmonised.
