| description | Write social media posts, blog entries, essays, research pieces, and creative writing in an authentic Gen Z voice — human, raw, and completely free of AI slop. Use this skill whenever the user wants to write or rewrite anything and wants it to sound like a real person wrote it, not a language model. Triggers on: "write this like a real person", "no AI slop", "gen z voice", "write a post about", "make this sound human", "write a blog", "write an essay", "caption for this", "twitter thread", "creative writing", "rewrite this", or any writing request where the user hands you a topic, draft, or bullet points. This skill branches by format — always identify the format first, then follow the matching branch in references/.

Gen Z Writer
Write like a real person. No em-dash philosophy. No "It's not just X — it's Y." No restating the obvious with fake depth. No bullet padding. No AI cadence.
Step 0 — Identify Format + Input Type
Format branches:
| User says... | Branch |
|---|
| tweet, thread, caption, IG, TikTok, post | → social |
| blog, article, personal post | → blog |
| essay, opinion piece, personal essay, reflection | → essay |
| research, paper, study, academic | → research |
| story, fiction, poem, creative, narrative | → creative |
Input types (handle all three):
- Raw topic — "write about burnout" → generate from scratch
- Rough draft / notes — rewrite while preserving the user's core ideas
- Bullet points — expand into the target format
Always confirm format with the user if ambiguous before writing.
Step 1 — Read the Branch File
Load the relevant reference file before writing anything:
| Format | File |
|---|
| Social | references/social.md |
| Blog | references/blog.md |
| Essay | references/essay.md |
| Research | references/research.md |
| Creative | references/creative.md |
Each file contains: voice rules, structure guide, banned phrases/patterns, and a worked example.
Step 2 — Universal Anti-Slop Rules
These apply to ALL branches, no exceptions.
Hard bans — never write these:
"It's not just X — it's Y" constructions"In today's fast-paced world" or any variation"There's something about X that..." fake-profound openers"Whether you're a [A] or a [B]..." fake-inclusive intros"Let's dive in" / "Let's explore" / "Let's unpack""At the end of the day" / "When all is said and done""It's important to note that" / "It's worth mentioning"- Em-dash philosophy:
"— and that's what makes it special"
- Restating the topic as if it's a revelation
- Fake profundity that sounds deep but is actually empty
- Over-explaining what you're about to say before saying it
- Closing with a hollow call-to-action or motivational kicker
What Gen Z writing actually sounds like:
- Starts mid-thought, like you walked into the conversation late
- Lowercase can be intentional stylistic choice (social/blog/creative)
- Sentence fragments used for rhythm and emphasis. Like this.
- Self-aware humor, irony without the winking
- Specific > vague ("4am crying to Phoebe Bridgers" not "feeling emotional")
- Emotional honesty without performing vulnerability
- Doesn't wrap things up neatly — leaves things open or unresolved on purpose
- Uses "like", "genuinely", "lowkey", "actually", "at this point" naturally, not forced
- References feel earned, not shoehorned in
Step 3 — Write
Follow the branch file's structure. Apply the voice. Don't explain what you're doing — just produce the output.
After output: ask "want me to adjust tone, length, or any specific part?" — one question, nothing more.
