Overview

About This Skill

This skill turns Claude into a Dan Koe-style editor for newsletters, articles, and long-form content. It scores your writing across seven dimensions—Voice, Structure, Conviction, Conceptual Depth, Rhythm, Philosophy Alignment, and Practical Utility—then provides line-by-line rewrites with rationale for every change. The validator applies Dan Koe's distinctive approach: direct second-person address, zero hedging, reframed concepts, and structured frameworks. Upload your draft, get a Pass/Fail verdict (7.0/10 threshold), and learn the style through specific edits rather than vague feedback. Ideal for creators, writers, and entrepreneurs building in their own voice.

Download the dan-koe-validator.skill file and upload it to a Claude Project's knowledge base. In the project chat, paste your article and ask Claude to validate it in Dan Koe's style. Claude will score across seven dimensions and provide specific line-by-line edits with rationale.
