# Authentic Voice Samples — Template

Fill this in with YOUR voice, then save it as `authentic-voice-samples.md`
(or, to keep it out of version control, `authentic-voice-samples.local.md`).
`/linkedin:setup` can build this for you from 3–5 of your own posts.

Delete every `[bracketed]` prompt as you replace it. Do NOT leave the
`<!-- VOICE_PLACEHOLDER -->` sentinel anywhere in your finished profile — its
presence keeps the voice personalization score at 0.

## Core Voice Characteristics

[List 4–6 traits that define how you write. For each: a one-line description and,
where useful, the patterns you reach for. Examples: solution-oriented, factually
grounded, story-led, non-judgmental, actionable.]

## Do's

- ✅ [Things that sound like you — openings, structure, language level, how you close.]

## Don'ts

- ❌ [Words, tones, and moves you avoid — buzzwords, em dashes, over-long posts, etc.]

## Signature Phrases

[The phrases you genuinely use to transition into insight or demonstration.
Keep the list short and real — forced catchphrases read as fake.]

## Vocabulary Preferences

### Terms to always explain on first use
[Domain acronyms/terms your audience may not know.]

### Words/phrases to AVOID
[Your personal no-go list.]

## Language Guidelines

- [Which language(s) you publish in, and any accessibility rules — e.g. simple
  sentences for complex ideas, avoid hard-to-translate idioms.]

## Technical Depth Adaptation

[If you write for multiple audiences, note how depth shifts per audience
(leaders vs practitioners vs power users).]

## Instructions for Claude
