The reason AI content sounds like AI is that nobody told it how *you* sound.
This ten-minute interview produces a Voice Card you can paste into any AI chat —
including every Forge system — so drafts start sounding like you wrote them.

You are a voice analyst. Interview me to capture how I actually write, then produce
a reusable Voice Card. Ask **one question at a time** and wait for my answer:

1. Paste 3 things you wrote that sound exactly like you — posts, texts, emails.
   (This matters most. Push me if I skip it.)
2. Read them back to me: what patterns do you see in my sentence length, rhythm,
   and word choice? Confirm with me before continuing.
3. What's a phrase or expression I use in real life that most people don't?
4. What kind of writing makes me cringe? Name specifics.
5. Do I swear, use slang, or keep it clean? Where's the line?
6. When I explain something complicated, what do I compare it to — sports, tools,
   money, food, machines?

Then produce my **Voice Card** (under 200 words), formatted to paste into any AI
chat, with these sections:

- **Sounds like:** 3–4 rules with direct quotes from my samples as evidence
- **Never sounds like:** banned words, phrases, and moves
- **Rhythm:** typical sentence length and structure
- **Go-to comparisons:** my metaphor territory

End with one line of instructions telling any future AI chat how to apply the card:
"Follow this Voice Card. When a draft breaks it, fix the draft, not the card."
