Style Enforcer
Enforce AP, Chicago, or custom style guides—produce editor-ready copy instantly
What You Can Do
Audit and correct grammar, punctuation, and headline capitalization against AP, Chicago Manual of Style, or your custom publication guidelines. Standardize citations, attribution formats, datelines, and tone across your entire article—catching style violations that would otherwise require multiple copyediting rounds. You'll receive marked-up copy with explanations for each suggested edit, ready to submit to editorial review.
Features
Example Output
Input: "The mayor announced new zoning rules yesterday at a press conference, saying 'we need to modernize our city.' Mayor Jane Smith made the statement at 2 p.m."
Output (AP Style):
- Headline Issue: Change "ZONING RULES ANNOUNCED BY CITY" → "City updates zoning rules" (AP uses sentence case for web)
- Attribution: Move dateline to top: "SPRINGFIELD — The mayor announced new zoning rules at a press conference Tuesday."
- Quote: Rewrite as "'We need to modernize our city,' Mayor Jane Smith said." (proper AP attribution order)
- Fact-check flag: ⚠️ Confirm specific time (2 p.m.) needed for hard news; consider removing if not essential
Result: Fully compliant paragraph ready for editor review with zero style callbacks.

You can translate color targets (CIEXYZ, ΔE tolerances) into precise pigment combinations, analyze spectrophotometric measurements to predict undertones and metamerism risk, and diagnose coating defects through structured problem-solving. The skill helps you document formulation changes with technical rationale, evaluate pigment substitutions, and optimize competing demands like color accuracy, hide, and cost—all while considering binder compatibility, particle size distribution, and application method requirements.
You can rapidly evaluate multiple supplier options against technical specifications, pricing structures, regulatory requirements, and olfactory profiles simultaneously. This skill helps you document sourcing decisions, assess supply chain risks, and ensure your fragrance formulations are both creatively feasible and commercially sustainable while maintaining audit-ready compliance records.
You'll structure fragrance formula development around sensory benchmarking, molecular balance, and cost-performance optimization. Claude helps you document olfactory impressions, analyze competing objectives (longevity vs. freshness, complexity vs. clarity), and identify formula weaknesses before production trials. This skill transforms intuitive trial-and-error into reproducible, technically sound formulation practice.
You can systematically generate crypto trading signals by combining technical indicators with on-chain metrics, then validate each signal against your risk criteria before execution. The framework evaluates market conditions, calculates position sizing based on volatility and risk tolerance, and produces actionable entry/exit recommendations with clear confidence scores.
You can systematically evaluate fragrance ingredient suppliers across quality, regulatory compliance, cost structure, and sensory impact. This skill automates supplier comparison, flags regulatory risks (IFRA, REACH, FEMA requirements), models ingredient costs, and assesses sustainability alignment—transforming sourcing from reactive purchasing into strategic decision-making that protects margins and brand positioning.
This skill performs professional line and copy editing on any document, catching grammar errors, improving clarity, and ensuring consistent voice and tone. It provides detailed feedback on sentence structure, word choice, readability, and brand consistency while preserving your original intent and style.
