I Hired a Custom AI Agent as My Always-On Editor — Here's the Prompt Stack

A chatbot you ping occasionally is not an agent. An agent is something that runs your editing rules every single time without you remembering to. So I built one — a custom AI editor that lives in my workflow and enforces my style on every draft.

What the agent does

  • Reads my last 5 published pieces and mimics the voice
  • Flags hedge words and corporate filler automatically
  • Rewrites to a target AI-risk % (I aim under 40)
  • Hands back a diff, not a wall of text

The prompt stack (the part that matters)

  1. Persona prompt — "You are my editor. You've read my writing. Match it."
  2. Constraint prompt — banned words, rhythm rules, example requirement
  3. Verification prompt — re-score and refuse to pass anything over threshold

Building this by hand took me a weekend. If you'd rather skip to the finished agent, the full setup — prompts, config, and the scorer it calls — is here: https://felovery.gumroad.com (code FIRST50 = 50% off). It's the $120 tier, but it replaced a $400/month human editor for me.

Have you given an AI agent a permanent job yet? What broke first?
