The voice guide that damaged my prose

This is the voice.md I ran for about a month. Twenty-odd rules, a self-specificity clause, a two-to-five sentence paragraph cap, a seven-question sign-off gate. Every draft went through it. I credited it every time a draft came back sounding better than the last one.

Then I ran a control: the same short essay about the same Reddit post, once with this file and once with no file at all. The version with no guide was better. It opened on the lesson, ran sentences from eight words to thirty-five, used the em dashes I actually use, and invented nothing.

The version written under this file opened on a scene that never happened — "On October 19, I wrote down one rule for every overnight OpenClaw job I run" — because block 1 demands a dated, countable personal moment, and the model supplied one.

That is the part worth reading for. The file forbids inventing a number, a quote, or an opinion. It does not forbid inventing a memory, and nothing in it outranks the demand for

Voice Guide Kit

A control test for your agent's voice guide. Empty on purpose — you fill in the guide.

The question this answers

Is your voice guide helping or hurting? You cannot answer that by reading your drafts. You can only answer it by writing the same thing twice: once with the guide, once without.

Most guides are built by accretion. Each rule seems sensible, so you add it. After a while the file is long,

  var substr = ""
  for i in range(0, input.length) {
    if(i >= start && i <= start + count - 1 ) {
      substr = substr + input[i]
    }
