In development

WriterSpec learns how a writer writes, and turns it into a skill that writes new pieces in their voice.

01Overview

WriterSpec is Apekon's research into writing style. It turns one author's past work into a WriterSpec: a structured, evidence-backed description of how they write, from vocabulary and sentence rhythm to how they open and build a piece.

That description is then compiled into a portable author skill: a self-contained set of rules a capable model can follow to write something new, about a new subject, in the same voice.

02How it works

From an archive to a voice.

  1. 01

    Collect

    An author's articles are imported and split into a training set and held-out sets, so later tests compare against writing the system never saw.

  2. 02

    Analyse and measure

    Each piece is read for recurring choices, while scripts measure sentence length, punctuation and vocabulary exactly.

  3. 03

    Build the WriterSpec

    Only patterns that recur across several pieces become claims, each traced back to the passages that support it.

  4. 04

    Compile the skill

    The claims become concrete writing rules in one portable file, ready for any capable model.

03Principles

Evidence over impressions.

  1. 01

    Traceable

    Every rule points to a claim, every claim to patterns, and every pattern to the original passages.

  2. 02

    Style, not facts

    Past work teaches how to write, never what is true today. Facts come from the brief.

  3. 03

    Blind-tested

    New writing is scored against held-out passages by an evaluator that doesn't know which method produced it.
