The personalize skill: set your voice once, use it everywhere

Run this one first. The personalize skill asks you a handful of questions about who you are, who you're trying to reach, what you sell and how you like to sound, then saves your answers to a file at ~/.claude/brand-profile.md. A lot of the other free skills read that file before they write anything. That's how they come back sounding like you instead of like a stranger.

You know the tax it kills. You ask for an Instagram caption, it comes back generic, so you paste in three paragraphs about your niche and your customer. Next day you want a bio, so you paste the same three paragraphs again. Then a DM, and again. You end up retyping your own background every time you want one thing written.

This is the setup skill in our free skills repo, and the README tells you to run it before anything else. It takes about five minutes and you do it once.

Three lines in your terminal. Grab the repo, make sure your skills folder exists, copy this one folder into it.

Restart Claude Code, or just open a new session. That's the whole install. No API keys, no config.

Type /personalize. The skill checks whether you already have a profile. If you don't, it interviews you in five short rounds: you, your audience, your offer, your voice, and your proof and links. It asks one group per message so it reads like a conversation instead of a form, and short answers are fine. When it's finished it writes ~/.claude/brand-profile.md and tells you the path.

It won't invent anything about you. If you don't have a price or a result yet, say so and it records the blank honestly rather than making something up. A good first run ends with a file you can open, read, and recognize as yourself.

If you already know your answers, skip the back and forth. Hand it everything up front and let it write the file.

Most people running this are early. You don't need a price or a testimonial for the profile to be worth having. Say where you actually are and the skill leaves the gaps marked instead of filling them with fiction.

Your price moves. Your audience narrows. You find a word you can't stand reading. Run the skill again and it only re-asks the part you want to change.

Here's what this skill does and why it's worth five minutes, short enough to say out loud.

1. 1Hook: there's a brand new free Claude skill that takes you from retyping your whole background into every prompt to skills that already know your voice.
2. 2Mechanism: you answer five short rounds of questions about your name, your audience, your offer, your voice and your links. It never invents anything, so a blank stays a blank. Then it writes all of it into one profile file, and the other writing skills read that file before they write a word.
3. 3Transformation: the next time you ask for a caption or a bio, it comes back sounding like you on the first try. You stop explaining yourself to get one paragraph written, and the five minutes you spent tonight keeps paying every session after.
4. 4Close: the profile is free, and it's one of 55 free skills. If you want the path your writing sits inside, not just the voice it comes out in, Claude Code Club is $9 a month. Link below.

Do this one tonight, before you install anything else. Five minutes now buys back the same three paragraphs of background every single time you ask for something written.
