Style Enforcer
Enforce AP, Chicago, or custom style guides—produce editor-ready copy instantly
What You Can Do
Audit and correct grammar, punctuation, and headline capitalization against AP, Chicago Manual of Style, or your custom publication guidelines. Standardize citations, attribution formats, datelines, and tone across your entire article—catching style violations that would otherwise require multiple copyediting rounds. You'll receive marked-up copy with explanations for each suggested edit, ready to submit to editorial review.
Features
Example Output
Input: "The mayor announced new zoning rules yesterday at a press conference, saying 'we need to modernize our city.' Mayor Jane Smith made the statement at 2 p.m."
Output (AP Style):
- Headline Issue: Change "ZONING RULES ANNOUNCED BY CITY" → "City updates zoning rules" (AP uses sentence case for web)
- Attribution: Move dateline to top: "SPRINGFIELD — The mayor announced new zoning rules at a press conference Tuesday."
- Quote: Rewrite as "'We need to modernize our city,' Mayor Jane Smith said." (proper AP attribution order)
- Fact-check flag: ⚠️ Confirm specific time (2 p.m.) needed for hard news; consider removing if not essential
Result: Fully compliant paragraph ready for editor review with zero style callbacks.

You can connect to SEMrush's API to extract competitor data, keyword research, and market opportunities in minutes. This skill synthesizes raw SEMrush metrics into actionable competitive intelligence and SEO roadmaps, helping you identify gaps and rank-winning keyword strategies faster than manual analysis.
This skill enables you to evaluate pigment compatibility before bench testing, predict color stability under stress conditions (heat, light, humidity), and verify compliance with regional colorant restrictions across EU, FDA, and China markets. You'll analyze why formulations exhibit unexpected color drift, optimize pigment concentration ratios to achieve target colors while minimizing costs, and troubleshoot shade variations between lab batches and production runs—cutting preliminary trials by 40-60%.
You'll structure fragrance formula development around sensory benchmarking, molecular balance, and cost-performance optimization. Claude helps you document olfactory impressions, analyze competing objectives (longevity vs. freshness, complexity vs. clarity), and identify formula weaknesses before production trials. This skill transforms intuitive trial-and-error into reproducible, technically sound formulation practice.
You can develop new paint formulations from color standards or competitor samples, optimize existing recipes for cost reduction while maintaining performance, troubleshoot color drift and adhesion failures during scale-up, and match CIE Lab* targets with available pigments. The skill guides you through pigment loading calculations, viscosity control, dispersant chemistry, and creates production-ready documentation including formula cards and technical datasheets.
You can rapidly validate fragrance concepts by analyzing market fit across five critical dimensions: consumer demand alignment with emerging trends, competitive white space and differentiation opportunities, regulatory compliance barriers by geography, price positioning within your target segment, and psychographic targeting precision. The skill delivers a structured go/no-go assessment with specific improvement recommendations, helping you eliminate non-viable concepts early and accelerate promising ones toward formulation.
You can systematically generate crypto trading signals by combining technical indicators with on-chain metrics, then validate each signal against your risk criteria before execution. The framework evaluates market conditions, calculates position sizing based on volatility and risk tolerance, and produces actionable entry/exit recommendations with clear confidence scores.
You can input spectral reflectance data, customer color swatches, or CIE Lab* values and receive detailed dye combination recipes scaled to production batch sizes. The skill calculates color differences (ΔE) against standards, predicts fastness performance across light, wash, and crocking exposure, flags metamerism risks, and identifies incompatible dye class combinations—all structured for immediate handoff to production teams.
You can systematically evaluate fragrance ingredient suppliers across quality, regulatory compliance, cost structure, and sensory impact. This skill automates supplier comparison, flags regulatory risks (IFRA, REACH, FEMA requirements), models ingredient costs, and assesses sustainability alignment—transforming sourcing from reactive purchasing into strategic decision-making that protects margins and brand positioning.
