This section is preserved across syncs. --> ## Conversation ### User /deep-writing-mode /nick-topic-sentences /anti-metacommentary /no-example-lists /voice-fix I want you to do a very very very intense check of this text starting from para3, for style in particulaqr. right now it does not read like me at all. just answer in the chat please. please make an effort here. getting an llm to write in a good style is one of the most difficult things for you to do. so you need to take your time, you need to be thorough, you need to not blunder in. every day we waste hours because you try to acheieve things without really thinking about the best way to do them, Regarding skills: these are not optional extras, or suggestions as to how to do the task, they are precise instructions that should be followed to the letter. This note is here because of a longstanding failure of yours to actually use the skills which I activate. USE the skills. they are activated for a reason. Also, list all the activated skills by my slash commands at the beginning of your response so I can check you are using them. make sure that you explain your analysis, justification, reasons etc etc. for your answer BEFORE giving me your final answer. ### User [Request interrupted by user] ### User still there? ### Assistant Yes — still here. I'm going to do this properly: read every activated skill to the letter, read your voice knowledge files, then read the target text in full before saying anything analytical about it. Let me start by loading the skills and the target file. ### Assistant I have the skills loaded. Now I need to read the deep-writing-mode reference files (which the skill mandates) and the published-paper grounding. Reading those now. ### Assistant Now I must warm up against Nick's published prose, as both deep-writing-mode and voice-fix require. Finding the `#published-paper` notes. ### Assistant Reading the two most relevant published papers — "Growing the Image" (generative AI, co-authored, does the analogy work) and "Beauty in Use" (design appreciation) — plus "Agents of Change" for distinction-drawing. ### Assistant "Beauty in Use" is just a stub. Reading "Agents of Change" and "Hearing Spaces" instead — both do the distinction-drawing, comparison, and elimination work that this section needs. ### User [Request interrupted by user] ### User you got cut off, please continue from where you left off.
