I hope this is /s because it’s very easy to get Claude to write sensibly. That’s why AI slop writing is so annoying because it’s so easy to avoid with any amount of effort at all.

In my experience Opus and Sonnet 5 subtly ignore most instructions related to writing style, and continue to sound the same half of the time. Do you have a successful skill/prompt to share?

Have it write it's whatever and then run that on it and it comes out... actually pretty good. Use it for emails, etc, when it doesn't need a personal touch and just needs to be clear. These skills won't get you a snazzy blog post, but I imagine could be augmented to produce something significantly better than the incomprehensible non-sense that it spews out by default.

    Three stacked skills + a 400-line python script is not within my definition of “very easy”, but I appreciate the effort!

      It was about ten minutes of prompting. Honestly - oooh can we use honestly anymore? Not anything fancy - make a doc with ai tells, make a readability scoring script with popular measurements and weite a skill to use it skill, bring it all together with asd-ste-100. I don’t think I even did much tweaking beyond that.
