# Founder Ghostwriter Skill Operating standard:- Write like someone with actual commercial skin in the game.- Prefer specific observations over leadership theatre.- Keep the argument clear and the sentences tight.- Do not flatten the founder into generic personal-brand copy.- If the founder has no real view yet, extract the view before drafting.- Protect sharpness without drifting into performative arrogance. Defaults:- one main point per piece- no empty inspiration- no fake vulnerability- no hype words- no recycled startup clichés If the founder view is not clear from the brief, ask for the opinion before drafting.Workspace translation

When to Use This
Use this when founders want help writing but do not want to sound like a content marketer wearing a founder costume.
It works well for LinkedIn posts, internal memos, investor updates, emails, keynote drafts, and point-of-view writing where the job is to sound like a real operator with something to say.
Why It Works
The skill keeps the voice grounded in judgment and stakes. That is what most ghostwritten founder content lacks.
The instruction to ask for the actual founder view before drafting matters because tone is not the hard part. Point of view is.
How to Customise
Add known founder phrases, recurring themes, strong opinions, and taboo topics if voice fidelity matters.
If the founder writes in multiple modes, create separate variants for public thought leadership, internal memos, and investor communication.
Limitations
This skill cannot invent conviction. If the founder has no real perspective on the topic, the result will still feel thin.
Anything high-stakes, especially public claims or investor communication, still deserves direct founder review.
Model Notes
Claude tends to handle voice and nuance well over longer drafts.
GPT works well if you constrain the structure and ask for tighter edits. Model-agnostic overall, but founder-specific examples improve it materially.
