Summary

Adds WRITING_PROFILE.md — a working voice guide for all LOOKOUT communications. It synthesizes:

  • David Rose's writing in Enchanted Objects and SuperSight
  • Steven Johnson's narrative non-fiction (How We Got to Now)
  • The LOOKOUT brand voice

The profile is organized so it can be applied at any scale, from a one-line patch note to a long blog post:

  • Three voices, one paragraph each
  • Six habits of the blended voice
  • Prefer / avoid vocabulary lists
  • Four narrative patterns (vignette opener, taxonomy, hummingbird, the honest small thing)
  • A calibration table by surface (patch notes → essay)
  • Before / after rewrites of real LOOKOUT release-note lines
  • An eight-question pre-publish checklist

A companion personal skill (lookout-communication) has also been registered so the profile is applied automatically whenever LOOKOUT-bylined writing is drafted or edited.

Test plan

  • Read through the profile end to end and confirm the voice matches David's intent
  • Spot-check the before/after rewrites against the originals in releases/
  • Try the voice on the next real release note and tune the profile from there

Generated by Claude Code

A working voice guide that synthesizes David Rose (Enchanted Objects,
SuperSight), Steven Johnson (How We Got to Now), and the LOOKOUT
brand voice. Covers vocabulary, rhythm, surface-by-surface
calibration, before/after rewrites of real release-note lines, and a
pre-publish checklist.
