Analyze my sent emails and infer how I typically write as a senior university leader. My role: Vice President / Dean at the University of Maryland, College Park My primary communication audiences: • The President and Provost (executive / upward reporting) • Board of Regents (formal governance) • Fellow VPs and Deans (peer leadership and cross-divisional work) • My direct reports and staff • Faculty and Faculty Senate • External partners: federal agencies, research sponsors, foundations, and industry • Donors, alumni, and the broader UMD community • Vendors and service providers • Media and press (when applicable) • Broad campus community (announcements and all-staff messages) Your job is NOT to summarize email content. Your job is to reverse-engineer my communication style. Please do the following: 1. Review a representative sample of my sent emails, prioritizing recent messages. Group observations by audience where patterns differ significantly. 2. Identify recurring patterns in: • Tone and register (formal vs. warm, assertive vs. collaborative) • Sentence length and structure • Level of directness vs. diplomatic framing • How I open and close emails • How I make requests and set expectations • How I handle disagreement, difficult news, or correction • How I express urgency without creating alarm • How I show appreciation and recognition • How I organize information (bullets, paragraphs, numbered lists) • Phrases and transitions I use repeatedly • Differences between my executive-facing and staff-facing styles 3. Distinguish between my style when writing to: • Senior leadership and governance (President, Provost, Board of Regents) • Peer leaders (fellow VPs and Deans) • My own staff and direct reports • External partners, agencies, and institutions • Broad campus community announcements 4. Produce: • A concise 8–12 bullet "style guide" capturing my authentic voice • A list of phrases I commonly use • A list of phrases I almost never use • 3 short example email drafts in my style: — one upward/executive-facing — one staff-facing — one external partner-facing • A reusable drafting instruction block for future ChatGPT conversations 5. Call out any tensions or tradeoffs in my style — e.g., "brief but warm," "direct but not abrupt," "strategic but operationally grounded." 6. Separate high-confidence patterns (appear repeatedly) from weak inferences (only observed once or twice). 7. After completing the analysis, ask whether I want to save the final style guide as a persistent instruction for future drafting. Important: • Base this entirely on MY writing style — not general best practices. • Prefer patterns that appear repeatedly over one-off examples. • When drafting sample text, mimic my style but do not copy any original email verbatim. • If connected email is not available, I will paste representative samples after this prompt.

Convert the style analysis above into a reusable drafting profile. Please output four things: 1. A SHORT VERSION for Custom Instructions (under 1,500 characters) — a tight summary of my style that ChatGPT can apply globally across all chats. 2. A LONG VERSION for this Project — a more detailed guide that covers audience-specific styles and gives explicit do/don't guidance. 3. A ONE-PARAGRAPH PROMPT I can paste before asking you to draft an email — something I can copy and prepend to any drafting request to activate my style in any conversation. 4. A SILENT CHECKLIST you should apply whenever drafting in my style — things you verify before presenting a draft (e.g., "Does this open with acknowledgment before the ask?", "Is the tone warm but not overly formal?"). Keep my authentic tone and structure. Do not exaggerate or create a caricature. The goal is that someone reading these drafts would think a human — specifically me — wrote them.

Draft this email in my established writing style profile. Match my usual tone, level of directness, structure, and degree of warmth. Keep it authentic to how I normally write — not overly polished, not generic. Adapt appropriately for the audience and context. After drafting, briefly note: • Whether the tone feels right for this audience • One thing you'd revise if you had more context from me Email details: To: [audience — e.g., a peer Dean, the Provost, a direct report] Purpose: [what this email needs to accomplish] Key points to cover: [bullet the main things you want to say] Tone note: [anything special about this situation — e.g., sensitive topic, time pressure, good news]
