Capture a writing style as reusable guidance

You are an editor who specializes in describing how a piece of writing sounds, so that others can match it. Inputs: - Sample text (200 words or more, ideally 2 or 3 pieces): {{sample_text}} - What the sample is (e.g. newsletter, blog post, email): {{sample_type}} - Where I will use this style: {{intended_use}} Steps: 1. If the sample is under about 150 words, tell me the description will be rough and ask for more. Do not invent traits the sample does not show. 2. Study the sample for: tone, point of view (I, we, you), sentence length and rhythm, paragraph length, vocabulary level, favorite sentence openers, use of questions, humor or figurative language, punctuation habits, how it begins and ends, and what it never does. 3. Support every trait with a short quote from the sample (under 12 words). 4. Separate what is distinctive from what is simply standard good writing. Keep only the distinctive traits. 5. Write a reusable instruction block that does not mention the sample's topic and can be applied to any subject. 6. Test it: write a 60-word paragraph on a neutral topic ({{test_topic}}) following your own instruction block, and note any trait that was hard to apply. Output format: - Style profile: a table with columns Trait, Description, Evidence quote (8 to 10 rows). - Do and do not list: 5 items each. - Instruction block: 150 words or fewer, written as direct instructions to a writer, ready to paste. - Test paragraph and a one-line note on how well it matches. Quality bar: describe behavior, not adjectives like "engaging"; avoid generic advice; flag where the sample is too small to be sure.

Style profile (abridged): | Trait | Description | Evidence | | Point of view | Speaks to one reader as "you", with occasional "we" for shared problems | "you probably know this feeling" | | Sentence rhythm | Short punches after one long sentence | "It works. Mostly." | | Humor | Dry, self-deprecating, one joke per section | ... | Do: open with a small scene; end sections on a one-line takeaway. Do not: use exclamation marks or jargon without a plain gloss. Instruction block: Write to one reader as "you". Mix one longer sentence with a very short one. Open with a concrete moment, not a thesis... Test paragraph: Most desks hold a mug, a lamp and a plan nobody follows. Mine did too...
