Guides ChatGPT published aug 17, 2026
In this guide, you’ll build a simple ChatGPT writing setup that turns rough ideas into natural-sounding drafts. This setup will save you hours of copy-editing tweaks.
You will set up ChatGPT to give you a better first draft. You will start with a quick Humanize Writing pass, test it on a simple writing exercise, and try a Technical English rule when the copy feels too fluffy.
*The Humanizer made this generic Instagram tutorial more specific and useful.*
Turn your best results into a small voice guide. Save the before-and-after examples that show what sounded right, what felt generic, and what you changed. Put those examples in your project instructions along with a short list of words and phrases you never want ChatGPT to use.
Keep updating the voice guide whenever a draft misses the mark. That gives ChatGPT a better target before you run any humanizing pass.
Open ChatGPT Work, then go to Settings → Plugins → Skills and turn on Humanize Writing. If you do not see it, your workspace may not have the skill yet.
*Turn on Humanize Writing before you run it on your first draft.*
Write a first draft. Type the command below and compare the result with the original:
/humanize-writingKeep both versions and read them side by side. Look at the opening, sentence length, transitions, and word choice. If the original says something better or gets a fact exactly right, keep it.
Next, give ChatGPT a clear writing exercise. For example:
Write me a memo about the history of the moon.This gives you a clean sample you can run through each method. Keep the assignment the same so you can judge what actually changed.
If you want the draft to sound more like you, give ChatGPT more of your own words to work with. You can dictate the request or add a transcript. For example:
Use this transcript to draft a [memo/email/tutorial] for [AUDIENCE].
Preserve every source fact and the way I naturally explain the topic.
Make the structure easy to scan, but do not replace my voice with generic business language.Now ChatGPT has your vocabulary, rhythm, examples, and priorities to work with. Check the source first and remove anything private or irrelevant before you add it.
Pro tip: We always recommend using dictation, especially for writing. Meeting transcripts or audio notes work well too.
For level two, install Blader's open-source Humanizer skill (https://github.com/blader/humanizer). Press Command-J to open ChatGPT's terminal, then run:
npx skills add blader/humanizer --globalThe installer may ask where you want to add the skill. Choose the agent you plan to use, then confirm the installation.
*The terminal confirms that the open-source Humanizer is installed.*
Create another copy of the untouched draft and run:
/humanizerIn the recorded test, the Humanizer took a generic Instagram tutorial and gave it a useful niche formula: topic + audience + outcome or angle.
Use the same assignment for every test and change one method at a time. You will see the differences right away.
Technical English is not only for technical work. Try it whenever AI writing feels too fluffy or indirect:
Write in Technical English. Use ASD-STE100 as a style reference.ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English (https://asd-ste100.org/about.html) was created for clear technical documentation. You are borrowing the style here, not claiming that the result formally follows the standard.
*Add the Technical English rule to your project instructions when you want it to persist.*
Compare the result with the original and decide whether you like the more direct style. If you want shorter replies across a whole project, put the same rule in the project instructions or AGENTS.md. You do not need to call another skill every time the agent responds.
