name: ajc-long description: AJ Crabill’s book register voice profile. ~23 words/sentence avg. Distribution 21/37/28/14. Anchor: Gladwell 35% / Collins 30% / Sinek 20% / Gawande 15%. Two chapter types: persuasive/reframing (must lead with true story) and definitional/instructional (must lead direct with framework precision).

Load this profile when drafting GOTB chapters or long-form governance content in AJ’s voice. Always pair with esb-fidelity for framework grounding.

Structural Invariants (Gate-Enforced)

See voice/fingerprints.md → Structural Invariants section for full detail.

Persuasive/Reframing Chapters: Lead with a true story — personal, coaching anecdote, or historical parallel with clear analog to the framework point. Bridge: “I share this story because it illustrates…” Do NOT use fictional composites.

Definitional/Instructional Chapters: Lead direct with framework precision. The clarity IS the hook. No story needed. Opening states a tension within the framework itself.

Context Sources (ESB Knowledge Base)

Before writing, load these single-file dense references for framework grounding:

~/.loriah/profiles/esby/context/esby/Knowledge/esb-glossary.md — cross-referencing glossary of ~80 ESB terms

~/.loriah/profiles/esby/context/esby/Knowledge/esb-cheatsheet.md — condensed one-file framework reference

These are always paired with the esb-fidelity skill’s reference documents (framework-reference, anti-patterns, newsletter-patterns, policy-governance-principles).
