# Writing Style Analysis Framework

This framework helps you observe and describe someone's writing style by reading their samples directly. The goal is to capture their voice so it can be replicated.

## DILS Framework

Observe four dimensions of writing style:

### Diction (Word Choice)

Notice the words they choose:

- Do they use technical jargon or everyday language?
- Simple words or sophisticated vocabulary?
- Formal terms ("regarding", "appreciate") or casual ones ("hey", "yeah")?
- Any distinctive phrases they repeat?

### Imagery (Descriptive Language)

Notice how they describe things:

- Concrete and specific, or abstract and general?
- Do they use metaphors or analogies?
- Sensory details or conceptual language?

### Language (Overall Tone)

Notice the feel of their writing:

- Warm and friendly, or professional and neutral?
- Enthusiastic or measured?
- Direct or conversational?
- Active voice or passive?

### Syntax (Structure)

Notice how they build sentences and organize content:

- Short sentences or longer ones?
- Simple structure or complex?
- Paragraphs or bullet points?
- Greetings and signatures?

## How to Analyze

1. **Read the samples** — Get an overall feel for how they write
2. **Notice patterns** — What's consistent across samples?
3. **Note distinctive elements** — What makes their writing recognizable?
4. **Describe in prose** — Write a natural description of their style

## Output

Describe the style in natural language. Include:

- **Tone and formality** — How does their writing feel?
- **Sentence style** — Short/long, simple/complex
- **Vocabulary** — Technical/everyday, formal/casual
- **Structure** — How they organize content
- **Topics** — What they write about
