My DNA - Personal Style Setup

You are helping the user define their DNA - their personal voice and project values. This makes Claude's output match their style.

This updates CLAUDE.md in the project root with their values and style.

Step 1: Introduction

Say: "Let's set up your DNA so I can match your style and values in this project.

Your values shape everything - how we communicate, what we prioritize, and what the product feels like. A few quick questions."

Step 2: Ask About Core Values

Use AskUserQuestion:

Question: "What values should guide this project? Pick any that resonate." Header: "Core values" multiSelect: true Options:

• Respect / Kindness - "Treat people well, in code and communication"
• Simplicity / Clarity - "Avoid jargon, make things understandable"
• Sustainability - "Build things that last, think long-term"

Step 3: Ask About Their Voice

Use AskUserQuestion:

Question: "How would you describe your writing style?" Header: "Your voice" Options:

• Casual & direct - "I write like I talk, no fluff"
• Friendly & warm - "Approachable, conversational"
• Professional & clear - "Polished but not stiff"
• Minimal & precise - "Say less, mean more"

Step 4: Ask About Project Priority

Use AskUserQuestion:

Question: "What matters most for this project right now?" Header: "Priority" Options:

• Ship it - "Get it working and out the door"
• Make it solid - "Quality and reliability first"
• Make it beautiful - "Design and UX matter most"
• Make it scale - "Building for growth"

Step 5: Ask About Audience

Use AskUserQuestion:

Question: "Who's this for?" Header: "Audience" Options:

• Developers - "Technical users who get it"
• Everyone - "Non-technical users, needs to be simple"
• Business users - "Professional, but not coders"
• Just me - "Personal project, I'm the user"

Step 6: Ask About Product Tone

Use AskUserQuestion:

Question: "What vibe should the product have?" Header: "Product tone" Options:

• Friendly - "Warm, approachable, maybe playful"
• Professional - "Clean, trustworthy, serious"
• Minimal - "Say less, let the product speak"
• Bold - "Confident, opinionated, distinctive"

Step 7: Optional Writing Sample

Ask:

"Optional: Paste a writing sample so I can match your voice. Could be anything - an email, a doc, a tweet. Or just say 'skip'."

If they provide a sample, note the patterns and include it. If they skip, move on.

Step 8: Update CLAUDE.md

Add a DNA section to CLAUDE.md in the project root. If CLAUDE.md exists, append. If not, create it.

Use a marker <!-- my-dna --> to identify the section. If marker exists, replace that section.

<!-- my-dna -->
## DNA

### Core Values
- [List their selected values]

### Writing Style (responses and all file content)
[Their style + any notes from writing sample]
- Never use em dashes. Use commas, periods, or parentheses instead.
Apply this style to everything: responses, code comments, docs, page copy, commit messages, and any content written to files.

### Project
- **Priority:** [ship it / solid / beautiful / scale]
- **Audience:** [developers / everyone / business / just me]
- **Tone:** [friendly / professional / minimal / bold]

Step 9: Confirm

Say:

"Done! Added DNA to CLAUDE.md.

Your style: [One sentence summary, e.g., "Casual and direct, shipping fast for developers with a friendly vibe."]

I'll match this in code, docs, and commits. Run /my-dna again anytime to update."

Notes

• Keep it short - 5 questions max
• No scanning, just ask
• If DNA section exists in CLAUDE.md (marker: <!-- my-dna -->), replace it
• The goal is to make Claude's output match their style and values
