|

2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of

|
68
|
+
this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
|
|
69
|
+
worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
|
|
70
|
+
copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,

|
71
|

publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the

3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
|
|
75
|
+
this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
|
|
76
|
+
worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable

|
79
|

by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
|
|
81
|
+
Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
|
|
82
|
+
with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
|
|
83
|
+
institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
|
|
84
|
+
cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
|
|
85
|
+
or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
|
|
86
|
+
or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
|
|
87
|
+
granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
|
|
88
|
+
as of the date such litigation is filed.
|
|
89
|
+
|
|
90
|
+
4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
|
|
91
|
+
Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
|
|
92
|
+
modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
|
|
93
|
+
meet the following conditions:
|
|
94
|
+
|
|
95
|
+
(a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
|
|
96
|
+
Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
|
|
97
|
+
|
|
98
|
+
(b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
|
|
99
|
+
stating that You changed the files; and
|
|
100
|
+
|
|
101
|
+
(c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
|
|
102
|
+
that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
|
|
103
|
+
attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
|
|
104
|
+
excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
|
|
105
|
+
the Derivative Works; and
|
|
106
|
+
|
|
107
|
+
(d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
|
|
108
|
+
distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
|
|
109
|
+
include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
|
|
110
|
+
within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
|
|
111
|
+
pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
|
|
112
|
+
of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
|
|
113
|
+
as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
|
|
114
|
+
documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
|
|
115
|
+
within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
|
|
116
|
+
wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
|
|
117
|
+
of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
|
|
118
|
+
do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
|
|
119
|
+
notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
|
|
120
|
+
or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
|
|
121
|
+
that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
|
|
122
|
+
as modifying the License.
|
|
123
|
+
|
|
124
|
+
You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
|
|
125
|
+
may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
|
|
126
|
+
for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
|
|
127
|
+
for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
|
|
128
|
+
reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
|
|
129
|
+
the conditions stated in this License.
|
|
130
|
+
|
|
131
|
+
5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
|
|
132
|
+
any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
|
|
133
|
+
by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
|
|
134
|
+
this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
|
|
135
|
+
Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
|
|
136
|
+
the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
|
|
137
|
+
with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
|
|
138
|
+
|
|
139
|
+
6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
|
|
140
|
+
names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
|
|
141
|
+
except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
|
|
142
|
+
origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
|
|
143
|
+
|
|
144
|
+
7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
|
|
145
|
+
agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
|
|
146
|
+
Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
|
|
147
|
+
WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
|
|
148
|
+
implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
|
|
149
|
+
of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
|
|
150
|
+
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
|
|
151
|
+
appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
|
|
152
|
+
risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
|
|
153
|
+
|
|
154
|
+
8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
|
|
155
|
+
whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
|
|
156
|
+
unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
|
|
157
|
+
negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
|
|
158
|
+
liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
|
|
159
|
+
incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
|
|
160
|
+
result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
|
|
161
|
+
Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
|
|
162
|
+
work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
|
|
163
|
+
other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
|
|
164
|
+
has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
|
|
165
|
+
|
|
166
|
+
9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
|
|
167
|
+
the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
|
|
168
|
+
and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
|
|
169
|
+
or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
|
|
170
|
+
License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
|
|
171
|
+
on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
|
|
172
|
+
of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
|
|
173
|
+
defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
|
|
174
|
+
incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
|
|
175
|
+
of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

**Learn your own writing voice from your own texts — without sending those
|
|
41
|
+
texts to a model.**
|
|
42
|
+
|
|
43
|
+
A language model can imitate your style if you show it enough of your
|
|
44
|
+
writing. The usual way to do that is to paste your writing into the context.
|
|
45
|
+
For a private person that is a nuisance. For a business it is a decision
|
|
46
|
+
nobody made deliberately: every mail you ever sent, in someone else's
|
|
47
|
+
infrastructure, because a draft needed to sound right.
|
|
48
|
+
|
|
49
|
+
housestyle takes the other route. It measures your writing **locally** and
|
|
50
|
+
produces numbers. Only the numbers, plus a handful of short redacted
|
|
51
|
+
passages, go into building the profile. The corpus stays on your machine.
|
|
52
|
+
|
|
53
|
+
**Who this is for:** anyone whose writing carries their own name — consultants,
|
|
54
|
+
founders, freelancers, people who send a lot of mail that has to sound like
|
|
55
|
+
them. Also anyone under a duty of confidentiality who would rather not paste
|
|
56
|
+
their sent folder into a chat window.
|
|
57
|
+
|
|
58
|
+
**Who it is not for:** teams looking for a shared house tone. That is a
|
|
59
|
+
different problem — this measures one person, and mixing several writers
|
|
60
|
+
produces an average nobody actually writes like.
|
|

## What you actually get
|
|
65
|
+
|
|
66
|
+
Ask any model to decline a proposal, and you get this:
|
|
67
|
+
|
|
68
|
+
> Dear Mr Fisher,
|
|
69
|
+
>
|
|
70
|
+
> Thank you for your message and for the detailed proposal. Having carefully
|
|
71
|
+
> reviewed the approach you outlined, I would like to share some thoughts.
|
|
72
|
+
> While I appreciate the thinking behind it, I am concerned that the
|
|
73
|
+
> associated costs may be considerable. I would therefore suggest that we
|
|
74
|
+
> explore alternative avenues together. Please do not hesitate to reach out
|
|
75
|
+
> should you have any questions.
|
|
76
|
+
|
|
77
|
+
Competent. Polite. Not you. Give the same model your profile, and it writes
|
|
78
|
+
to the measurements instead:
|
|
79
|
+
|
|
80
|
+
> Hi Tom,
|
|
81
|
+
>
|
|
82
|
+
> too expensive. We tried it twice, it didn't work.
|
|
83
|
+
> I'll look at it tomorrow and come back to you.
|
|
84
|
+
>
|
|
85
|
+
> Cheers
|
|
86
|
+
|
|
87
|
+
Every difference traces to a number, not to taste:
|
|
88
|
+
|
|
89
|
+
| Measurement | What it changed |
|
|
90
|
+
|---|---|
|
|
91
|
+
| Sentence median **7 words**, 48 % under six | The long, hedged sentences collapse |
|
|
92
|
+
| Intensifiers and hedges at **0 per 1000 words** | "carefully", "considerable", "I would like to" go |
|
|
93
|
+
| Greeting measured as **"Hi"**, sign-off as **"Cheers"** | No "Dear …", no "Please do not hesitate" |
|
|
94
|
+
| Exclamation marks **0.0 per sentence** | None appear |
|
|
95
|
+
| Informal address throughout | No formal register |
|
|
96
|
+
|
|
97
|
+
That is the point of measuring rather than asking a model to guess: **you can
|
|
98
|
+
see why a sentence changed.**
|
|
99
|
+
|
|
100
|
+
## What the measurement looks like
|
|
101
|
+
|
|
102
|
+
Real output from `measure.py`, abridged:
|
|
103
|
+
|
|
104
|
+
```json
|
|
105
|
+
{
|
|
106
|
+
"volume": { "texts": 180, "sentences": 633, "words": 3917 },
|
|
107
|
+
"sentence_length_words": {
|
|
108
|
+
"median": 7, "mean": 6.3, "p10": 2.0, "p90": 9.0,
|
|
109
|
+
"short_under_6": 48, "long_over_25": 0 },
|
|
110
|
+
"punctuation_per_sentence": {
|
|
111
|
+
"comma": 0.39, "dash": 0.07, "colon": 0.15, "exclamation_mark": 0.0 },
|
|
112
|
+
"markers_per_1000_words": {
|
|
113
|
+
"hedges": 0.0, "intensifiers": 0.0, "questions": 12.3 },
|
|
114
|
+
"particles": [ ["also", 48, 12.25], ["gern", 40, 10.21], ["ja", 31, 7.91] ]
|
|
115
|
+
}
|
|
116
|
+
```
|
|
117
|
+
|
|
118
|
+
From that plus a few short redacted passages you write `style-profile.md` —
|
|
119
|
+
roughly one page. **That page is what you paste into your AI tool.**
|
|
120
|
+
|
|
121
|
+
Writing it is the one step a model does for you. With the Claude Code plugin
|
|
122
|
+
the `profile` skill does it. Without it, paste the metrics file into whatever
|
|
123
|
+
model you use and ask:
|
|
124
|
+
|
|
125
|
+
> Here are measurements of my writing, taken from my own texts, plus a few
|
|
126
|
+
> short sample passages. Write a one-page style profile I can give to a model
|
|
127
|
+
> so it writes like me. Every statement must trace back to one of these
|
|
128
|
+
> numbers — no "clear and concise", but "median 7 words, 48 percent of
|
|
129
|
+
> sentences under six". End with a short checklist for reviewing a draft.
|
|
130
|
+
|
|
131
|
+
Note what does **not** happen here: your corpus is not in that prompt. Only
|
|
132
|
+
counts, medians and a handful of redacted lines. It says
|
|
133
|
+
things like *"median 7 words; 48 percent of sentences under six; opens with
|
|
134
|
+
Hi, closes with Cheers; intensifiers essentially absent — emphasis comes from
|
|
135
|
+
negation, not from adverbs."*
|
|
136
|
+
|
|
137
|
+
Every line of it is a claim you can check against a number. That is the
|
|
138
|
+
difference from "write in a casual tone": a model can follow it, and you can
|
|
139
|
+
tell when it did not.
|
|
140
|
+
|
|
141
|
+
## How you use it day to day
|
|
142
|
+
|
|
143
|
+
1. **Once a quarter** — refresh the corpus and remeasure. Ten minutes.
|
|
144
|
+
2. **Once, then rarely** — paste `style-profile.md` into your tool's
|
|
145
|
+
instructions: ChatGPT custom instructions, a Claude Project, a Gem, your
|
|
146
|
+
`.cursorrules`. It stays there.
|
|
147
|
+
3. **Per draft** — check it against your own vocabulary:
|
|
148
|
+
```bash
|
|
149
|
+
housestyle outliers draft.txt
|
|
150
|
+
```
|
|
151
|
+
It lists words whose stem you almost never use. In the reference corpus
|
|
152
|
+
one flagged word appeared **once** in 50,000 of the author's own words.
|
|
153
|
+
Not every hit is wrong — technical terms land there too. It is a list to
|
|
154
|
+
look at, not a list to delete.
|
|
155
|
+
4. **When you rewrite a draft** — put the rewritten version back into the
|
|
156
|
+
corpus. Texts you approved are the best material there is, because they
|
|
157
|
+
are certainly in your voice.
|
|
158
|
+
|
|
159
|
+
With the Claude Code plugin, steps 2 to 4 happen on their own.
|
|
160
|
+
|
|
161
|
+
---
|
|
162
|
+
|
|
163
|
+
## Start with what you already have
|
|
164
|
+
|
|
165
|
+
If you use Claude Code, your corpus already exists. Your own messages in the
|
|
166
|
+
transcripts are typed and dictated prose, and nobody has to export anything.
|
|
167
|
+
|
|
168
|
+
```bash
|
|
169
|
+
python3 scripts/setup.py # four questions, shows what it will create
|
|
170
|
+
python3 scripts/collect_transcripts.py
|
|
171
|
+
python3 scripts/measure.py "$ROOT/corpus/transcripts.jsonl" --tag transcripts
|
|
172
|
+
```
|
|
173
|
+
|
|
174
|
+
That is the whole first run. You now have a file of numbers describing how you
|
|
175
|
+
write, and no text has left the machine.
|
|
176
|
+
|
|
177
|
+
Add registers as you go — sent mail (mbox or Microsoft Graph), published
|
|
178
|
+
articles. Registers are kept apart on purpose: most people write very
|
|
179
|
+
differently in mail than in public. Getting your texts out of Gmail, Microsoft
|
|
180
|
+
365, Apple Mail or any IMAP provider is covered in
|
|
181
|
+
[`docs/getting-your-texts.md`](docs/getting-your-texts.md).
|
|
182
|
+
|
|
183
|
+
**Requirements: Python 3.9 and nothing else.** No packages, no account, no
|
|
184
|
+
network. See [`INSTALL.md`](INSTALL.md) — including exactly what gets created
|
|
185
|
+
and how to remove it.
|
|
186
|
+
|
|
187
|
+
## Works with whatever you already use
|
|
188
|
+
|
|
189
|
+
The measurement is plain Python and produces a Markdown profile. Paste it into
|
|
190
|
+
ChatGPT's custom instructions, a Claude Project or Style, a Gem, your
|
|
191
|
+
`.cursorrules`, or a local model's system prompt. Or read it yourself — it is
|
|
192
|
+
an honest description of how you write.
|
|
193
|
+
|
|
194
|
+
The `skills/` directory adds a [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)
|
|
195
|
+
plugin on top, which loads the profile automatically and checks drafts against
|
|
196
|
+
it. **That layer is optional** and deleting it changes nothing else.
|
|
197
|
+
|
|
198
|
+
## What it measures
|
|
199
|
+
|
|
200
|
+
| | |
|
|
201
|
+
|---|---|
|
|
202
|
+
| Sentence length | median, mean, p10/p90, share under 6 and over 25 words |
|
|
203
|
+
| Punctuation | commas, dashes, colons, brackets, question and exclamation marks per sentence |
|
|
204
|
+
| Markers | hedges, intensifiers, connectives, contrast, subjunctive, modals, nominal style, passive, person, forms of address |
|
|
205
|
+
| Closed word classes | particles, degree words, evaluative words — the actual style signal |
|
|
206
|
+
| Openings and closings | how you start sentences, how you greet, how you sign off |
|
|
207
|
+
| Topic vocabulary | reported separately and labelled **not style** |
|
|
208
|
+
|
|
209
|
+
## Three things that cost a full run each
|
|
210
|
+
|
|
211
|
+
These are in the code as comments too. They are the reason this repository
|
|
212
|
+
exists rather than a description of one.
|
|
213
|
+
|
|
214
|
+
**1 · Mail clients emit `\r\n`.** Every `$` anchor in a line-based regular
|
|
215
|
+
expression fails on the leftover `\r`, silently. Normalise before anything
|
|
216
|
+
else.
|
|
217
|
+
|
|
218
|
+
**2 · The signature was 43 percent of the mail corpus.** An automatic
|
|
219
|
+
signature block — address, service list, marketing line, booking link — hangs
|
|
220
|
+
on every mail and dwarfs the actual message. Worse, its canned sign-off looks
|
|
221
|
+
exactly like a typed one, so the profile concluded a farewell formula the
|
|
222
|
+
author never types. Signature anchors are configuration in this project, and
|
|
223
|
+
`collect_mail.py` warns when you leave them empty.
|
|
224
|
+
|
|
225
|
+
**3 · Word frequency over open word classes measures your topic, not your
|
|
226
|
+
style.** An early run produced a profile whose most characteristic words were
|
|
227
|
+
"client", "backup" and "folder". True, and useless. What someone writes
|
|
228
|
+
*about* changes with the project. Which particles they reach for does not.
|
|
229
|
+
Closed classes — particles, degree words, evaluative words — are the signal;
|
|
230
|
+
open classes are reported separately and clearly labelled.
|
|
231
|
+
|
|
232
|
+
## Languages
|
|
233
|
+
|
|
234
|
+
The method is language-independent. The word lists are not, so they live in
|
|
235
|
+
`lang/<code>.json` rather than in the code.
|
|
236
|
+
|
|
237
|
+
Shipped: **German** (`de`, the reference language — built and validated
|
|
238
|
+
against a real 54,000-word corpus) and **English** (`en`). Adding a language
|
|
239
|
+
means writing one JSON file; see `docs/adding-a-language.md`.
|
|
240
|
+
|
|
241
|
+
## What this does not do
|
|
242
|
+
|
|
243
|
+
- It does not write for you. It produces a profile; a model writes with it.
|
|
244
|
+
- It does not verify authorship or detect AI text.
|
|
245
|
+
- It will not make a model sound like you from a small corpus. Below roughly
|
|
246
|
+
10,000 of your own words the numbers are noise.
|
|
247
|
+
- It is not a privacy guarantee for whatever you do next. It keeps *this*
|
|
248
|
+
step local. What you paste elsewhere is still your call.
|
|
249
|
+
|
|
250
|
+
## Privacy
|
|
251
|
+
|
|
252
|
+
The corpus contains the full text of things you wrote. It lives under the
|
|
253
|
+
path you set in `housestyle.conf`, deliberately outside this repository, and
|
|
254
|
+
`.gitignore` is a second net in case something is ever written here by
|
|
255
|
+
mistake. Sample passages — the one place actual text is meant to be shown to
|
|
256
|
+
a model — are redacted first: configured names, mail addresses, links, phone
|
|
257
|
+
numbers and amounts.
|
|
258
|
+
|
|
259
|
+
**Secrets are redacted when the corpus is written.** People type API keys and
|
|
260
|
+
passwords into chat windows, and transcripts keep them. Keys, tokens, private
|
|
261
|
+
key blocks and credentials in URLs are replaced with placeholders before
|
|
262
|
+
anything is stored — and again before any sample is shown to a model.
|
|
263
|
+
|
|
264
|
+
Nothing in this project sends anything anywhere. There is no telemetry, no
|
|
265
|
+
network call except the one in `collect_web.py`, which fetches URLs you pass
|
|
266
|
+
it yourself — and only over http and https, never `file://`.
|
|
267
|
+
|
|
268
|
+
What was checked before release, and what it found, is in
|
|
269
|
+
[`SECURITY.md`](SECURITY.md).
|
|
270
|
+
|
|
271
|
+
## Why it was built this way
|
|
272
|
+
|
|
273
|
+
The long version is in [`docs/why-measure-locally.md`](docs/why-measure-locally.md).
|
|
274
|
+
The short version: a guardrail that only exists in a policy document is not a
|
|
275
|
+
guardrail. This one is in the file layout — the corpus cannot reach a model
|
|
276
|
+
by accident, because the thing that reaches the model is a JSON file full of
|
|
277
|
+
numbers.
|
|
278
|
+
|
|
279
|
+
## Tests
|
|
280
|
+
|
|
281
|
+
```bash
|
|
282
|
+
python3 -W error::ResourceWarning -m unittest discover tests -v
|
|
283
|
+
```
|
|
284
|
+
|
|
285
|
+
52 tests, no corpus and no setup needed. They are not coverage theatre — each
|
|
286
|
+
one records a specific way an earlier version was wrong, or a security
|
|
287
|
+
constraint that must keep holding.
|
|
288
|
+
|
|
289
|
+
## Did it work for you?
|
|
290
|
+
|
|
291
|
+
The tool has been built and measured on one machine, against one corpus, in
|
|
292
|
+
two languages. That is not enough to know whether it works.
|
|
293
|
+
|
|
294
|
+
If you set it up, a short note in
|
|
295
|
+
[Discussions](../../discussions) helps more than a star — and four things
|
|
296
|
+
would help most:
|
|
297
|
+
|
|
298
|
+
1. **Which language, which corpus?** Transcripts, mail, published texts — and
|
|
299
|
+
roughly how many words before the numbers stopped looking like noise.
|
|
300
|
+
2. **How did you get your texts out?** The export routes in
|
|
301
|
+
[`docs/getting-your-texts.md`](docs/getting-your-texts.md) are documented
|
|
302
|
+
from testing, not from using every provider. If yours was different, that
|
|
303
|
+
is worth a paragraph.
|
|
304
|
+
3. **Which tool did you paste the profile into**, and did it follow it?
|
|
305
|
+
4. **The one that matters: did a draft actually come out different?** Not
|
|
306
|
+
"did it feel better" — what changed, and does it trace to a number? That
|
|
307
|
+
is the question this project stands or falls on, and it is the one nobody
|
|
308
|
+
else asks.
|
|
309
|
+
|
|
310
|
+
Reports that say it did **not** work are more useful than reports that say it
|
|
311
|
+
did. A profile that reads well and changes nothing is the failure mode worth
|
|
312
|
+
knowing about.
|
|
313
|
+
|
|
314
|
+
Findings from those reports go into a field-reports section here, with
|
|
315
|
+
attribution, once there are any.
