# Get drafts that pass your own checklist before you ever see them

> You see a score for every point on your checklist, plus one line on why anything failed and what it changed.

Write down how you judge your own emails, posts or ads, and turn it into a Claude skill. It drafts, scores itself against your checklist, rewrites what fails and only hands over what passes.

## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
Help me build a Claude skill that writes [CONTENT TYPE, e.g. my weekly email to past clients] and won't hand it over until it meets my standards. Here's how I judge a good one: [YOUR CHECKLIST, e.g. hook in first line, one idea, clear ask]. Turn each point into a score out of 10 with a pass mark of 8. The skill should write a draft, score it against every point, explain in one line why anything failed, rewrite only the weak parts and score it again. Stop after three rounds and tell me if something still won't pass. Before it finishes, have it read the draft as [TOUGH READER, e.g. a busy client skimming on a phone] and fix anything that reader would skip. Show the final scores in a small table above the finished draft. I've attached two of my best pieces so the skill knows what a 10 looks like. Ask me anything you need before you build it.
```

## Step by step

1. Pick the piece of writing you make most often, like your weekly email or your sales posts.
2. List what makes a version great instead of average, with a pass mark for each point.
3. Turn on Code execution in Settings, then switch on skill-creator in Customize, then Skills.
4. Open a new chat, attach two of your best pieces and paste the prompt with your checklist.
5. Save the skill, ask for your next draft by its name, and read it before you send or post it.

## What you'll get

A saved skill that drafts, grades and rewrites your copy against your own rules, then shows you the scores with the final version.
