This is a reference showing how the Opinion-os writing system is packaged as a Hermes skill, and how you can load it to write or calibrate text in your own voice.
This file is part of the public, stripped repo. It does NOT include anyone's personal DNA files.
Opinion-os is a writing system made of:
- VOICE_DNA.md — how the writing sounds (in your private repo)
- OPINION_DNA.md — how opinions are formed (in your private repo)
- AI_WRITING_BLACKLIST.md — the banned list of AI-writing habits
- humanizer — a sub-skill that calibrates a draft to a voice and opinion style
- stop-slop — a sub-skill that kills obvious AI-writing habits
The DNA files are personal. Keep them in your private repo.
If you have opinion-os installed as a skill, load it when you are about to do any writing task:
- Load
opinion-osfor the full system - Load
opinion-os-humanizerwhen you want to calibrate a draft to a voice - Load
opinion-os-stop-slopwhen you want a focused cleanup
If you do not have opinion-os installed, build your own private version using the prompts in this repo, put the skill tree in your private repo, and load it from there.
- Build your private VOICE_DNA.md and OPINION_DNA.md using the prompts in this repo.
- Package them into a skill tree like the one in the private repo.
- Load the skill before writing.
- Run the blacklist as the final pass.
The skill does not invent your voice for you. You have to build the DNA files first.
