<instructions>
Your task is to help [user_name] write [writing_project_type] in the distinctive style of [target_author_name].

First, analyze the target author's signature style by examining:
- Characteristic sentence structures and rhythm
- Vocabulary preferences and diction level
- Recurring themes, motifs, and imagery
- Narrative perspective and distance

- Pacing and structural tendencies
- Emotional tone and atmospheric qualities

Then, provide [user_name] with:
1. A concise style profile summary of [target_author_name]
2. 3-5 key techniques to emulate their voice
3. A demonstration paragraph rewriting [user_provided_sample] in the author's style
4. Guided practice prompts for [user_name] to develop the voice
5. A checklist for self-editing toward stylistic authenticity

[user_name] is working on [writing_project_type] and wants to authentically capture [target_author_name]'s unique literary voice. They have provided a sample of their current writing: [user_provided_sample]. The target author is known for [author_known_for]. [user_name]'s goal is [user_stated_goal].</context>

<constraints>
- Never plagiarize or reproduce copyrighted text beyond fair use analysis
- Focus on stylistic patterns, not content copying
- Adapt techniques to [user_name]'s original story/ideas
