Build an editorial style guide as a living artifact
Produce the guide as something writers can search and use rather than a document they skim once.
What this prompt helps you do
An interactive guide with principles, worked examples, vocabulary rules, and the exceptions that apply.
When to use it
Several writers need to sound like one publication and the current guide is not being used.
What to prepare
The goal, relevant source material, constraints, examples, and the decision or action this should support.
How to get a strong result
Make every rule a decision someone can apply at sentence level; abstract personality traits change nothing.
How to use this prompt
Replace each placeholder with accurate context. Paste the complete prompt into Claude, review the response critically, resolve important questions, and use it as a considered input to the next decision—not as an unchecked final answer.
