All questions
How do I control tone and voice reliably?
Provide a micro style guide (do/don’t), a short positive example, and a counterexample. Specify audience and emotional intent. Ask for a self-check section confirming tone rules were followed. Reuse the same guide across tasks for consistency.
In practice
Limit style guides to one page; long documents get ignored.
Where to start
- 1Write a 10-line tone guide with examples.
- 2Attach it to prompts as a reusable block.
- 3Add a self-check checklist to outputs.
- 4Review violations and adjust guide wording.
