Output styles are the right layer for fixing Claude's voice: they rewrite the
system prompt itself and reframe the agent's identity around your voice —
unlike CLAUDE.md rules, which are injected as context alongside everything

styles (identity line, Style Active marker, procedural rules), and the
optional --enforce hook gives them the same per-turn reminder the built-ins
get from the harness. One markdown file each, correct 2026 frontmatter,
MIT-licensed, with the original author credited in the table below.
