Writing Profile tuning inputs and the compiled voice profile

The Writing Profile is the compiled version of how you sound. You supply the raw material: reference writers, sources you trust, tone settings, examples of your own work: and a compile turns it into the voice guidance every drafting agent reads.

It's the single most important screen for a writer, because every draft in the workspace starts from this profile and is checked against it afterwards.

Doing this rather than looking it up? The Tutorial walks this screen step by step in 3 · Context & voice.

Reference

What a compile reads: your calibration inputs, your Company Overview and Product & Features, your personas, the current profile, and your annotations.

What counts as an annotation is narrower than it looks:

  • Annotations on the calibration sample all count.
  • Annotations on real drafts count only if the review is complete, and only three kinds carry through: tone, formatting and positive. Accuracy, linking and other notes fix that draft but never shape the profile.
  • Annotations from invited external reviewers count the same as your team's.

Direct edits to a draft do not feed the profile. Rewriting a sentence in the editor improves that page and teaches the system nothing. If you want the change to stick, leave a note saying what was wrong.

Versioning. Each compile snapshots the outgoing profile before replacing it, and the header shows the version and compile date. Research Sources are ranked in tiers, and there's a negative list for sources to avoid.

A missing profile doesn't stop drafting. If nothing has been compiled, agents fall back to default writing guidelines: so output looks fine and sounds like nobody. Silence here is the failure mode, not an error message.

Company Overview and Product & Features gate the compile. Both must have content before a profile can be built, which is why Foundation comes first.

Why it works this way
