zanai-writing-skill is a writing style system for Claude Code, the AI coding assistant from Anthropic. It lets Claude write articles in the voice of ZangAI, a Chinese tech blogger known for opinionated commentary on the AI industry. The style rules were extracted from 93 published articles by that writer. The skill covers specific elements of the blogger's voice: articles always open with a quoted line inside Japanese-style quotation marks, sentences are kept short with key judgments limited to about ten characters, and fourteen recurring phrases appear often enough to be listed as signature expressions. The system also defines how to use emoji with precise tonal meaning, a principle for cross-domain analogies, rules for using data only when paired with a comparison or evaluation, and five patterns for how articles should end (ranging from a memorable closing line to a mock prediction or a verse). A list of things to avoid is included: structural patterns that break the voice, language patterns that feel out of place, and specific rules about rhetorical questions. The blogger writes under three pen names, each with a different stylistic flavor, and the skill lets you specify which persona to use. To use it, you clone the repository and run the install script, which places the skill files where Claude Code can find them. After that you call it with the slash command from inside a Claude Code conversation. You can point it at a transcript or draft file to have it write in the target style. The skill itself is MIT licensed. The example articles included for style reference are original works by ZangAI and remain under that author's copyright.
