This AI writing style prompt reverse engineers a piece of writing you admire. It names the structure, the hook, the voice & the close, then builds a template from them & uses it on your own topic in one pass.
Reverse-engineer anyone’s writing
A LinkedIn post stops you mid-scroll. A tweet you’ve been trying to deconstruct. The opening paragraph of an article that hooks you before you know why.
You want to write like that, but “I liked it” doesn’t teach you anything.
This prompt takes the piece apart. It names the structure, the hook, the voice, & the close. Then it builds a reusable template & applies it to your topic in one pass.
Here's something I want to learn from: [PASTE THE WORK].
Break it down:
1. The structure. How it's organized, beat by beat.
2. The hook. What makes the opening work.
3. The voice. Sentence length, vocabulary, rhythm.
4. The close. What makes the ending land.
Then write a reusable template based on it. Then apply that template to [MY TOPIC].Why it works: The LLM describes what the writer did, then builds a template then runs it on something you actually care about.
One gap: One sample isn’t enough. LLMs spot patterns easier with more examples, & the more you paste the closer the template gets to the real voice. But keep the samples from the same format. How someone writes on Twitter is different from how they write a blog post, even if it’s the same person. Tweets & articles are different voices.
Simple fix: Paste 2+ examples from the same writer. Don’t mix sources. If it’s a tweet you want to break down, grab 2 or 3 tweets.

When the draft is yours
Once you’ve written your own version, the customer test prompt reads it as the person it’s for & says where it loses them. For a blunt score before you send it, use the honest feedback prompt. Writing an email? The rewrite email prompt rewrites it in your voice.
This prompt first ran in issue 3.
