# Newsletter Voice

## Inputs

Prefer `about-me.md` and `voice.md` when present. Also use 2 to 5 newsletter issues or sections when available.

## Analyze newsletter-only patterns

Identify:

- subject line style
- preview text style
- opening length and move
- issue structure
- section transitions
- story-to-insight ratio
- evidence density
- CTA placement
- sign-off pattern
- recurring sections
- formatting conventions

Separate newsletter behavior from general voice rules.

## Output

Create `newsletter-voice.md` when workspace write capability is available. Otherwise return it as a named artifact.

Use:

# Newsletter Voice
## Role of the newsletter
## Subject lines
## Openings
## Issue structure
## Story and evidence
## Transitions
## CTAs
## Sign-off
## Formatting
## What to avoid
## Reuse rules

## Reuse rule

When repurposing a newsletter into posts, extract standalone ideas. Do not simply compress the newsletter into a shorter summary.
