How to Stop Claude's Writing From Sounding Like AI

Three things give it away, and the punctuation is the smallest.

Give it to Claude Code, and it sets up the checks that keep its writing from sounding like AI.

Banning the em dash fixes the smallest of three problems. You get a check that fixes the characters in every file Claude writes, six sentence patterns to put in a rules file, a second Claude that rewrites anything you publish, and a way to make Claude take its examples from your real business and ask you when nothing fits.

What you give Claude

When the guide arrives, give the PDF to Claude Code on your computer with this sentence. Claude asks you only what it needs and does the rest with you.

Read this guide and set it up in this project: the hook that fixes the characters in every file you write, with the list in one shared place, my writing rules file with the six sentence patterns, and the word-list check and second Claude for anything I publish or tell you is going out. Take every example from what you know about my business, and ask me when nothing fits. Show me anything that goes out to another person first. Ask me only for what you can't do yourself.
