ConvoMaker - Session to American English Conversation

Transform your session Q&A into natural, native-sounding American English dialogues

What This Skill Does

Scans the current session's conversation history — your questions and Claude's answers — and rewrites them as a realistic dialogue between two Americans (Alex and Jamie). The output sounds like real casual or professional conversation, not textbook English.

Protocol

Step 1: Extract Session Q&A

Review the conversation so far in this session. Identify:

• User questions/statements (the topics discussed)
• Claude's key answers (the core information)

Skip meta-talk (greetings, "sure!", "of course!" etc.) and focus on substantive exchanges.

Step 2: Build Natural American Dialogue

For each Q&A pair, rewrite as a conversation between Alex (the asker) and Jamie (the knowledgeable friend). Apply these rules:

Language Style Rules:

• Use contractions always: "I'm", "it's", "you've", "that's", "gonna", "wanna", "kinda"
• Add filler phrases naturally: "So basically...", "Here's the thing...", "Honestly...", "I mean...", "Right, so...", "Yeah, like..."
• Use American idioms where natural: "heads up", "figure out", "run into", "on the same page", "no big deal", "makes sense"
• Keep sentences short and punchy — Americans don't speak in paragraphs
• Add back-and-forth reactions: "Oh interesting!", "Wait, really?", "That makes sense.", "Gotcha.", "Huh, never thought of it that way."
• Use rhetorical questions: "You know what I mean?", "Right?", "Make sense?"
• Technical terms are fine — just frame them conversationally

Tone Options (choose based on topic):

• Casual: Friends chatting over coffee
• Professional: Colleagues discussing at work
• Curious: One person genuinely learning from another

Step 3: Format Output

Output the conversation in this format:

---

Conversation: [Topic Title]

Setting: [1-line scene description — where/when/why they're talking]

---

Alex: [Opening line that naturally introduces the topic]

Jamie: [Response with key information, conversational tone]

Alex: [Follow-up question or reaction]

Jamie: [Deeper explanation or example]

Alex: [Clarifying question or "aha" moment]

Jamie: [Wrap-up with practical tip or summary]

Why This Sounds American

Example Output

If the session covered "How does TypeScript help with bugs?":

---

Setting: Two dev friends catching up at a coffee shop after work.

---

Alex: Hey, so I keep hearing about TypeScript. Like, is it actually worth switching from plain JavaScript?

Jamie: Oh man, honestly? Yeah, it's totally worth it — especially if you're working on anything bigger than a side project. Here's the thing: TypeScript basically catches your bugs before you even run the code.

Alex: Wait, what do you mean before you run it?

Jamie: So you know how in regular JS you can just pass whatever into a function and it won't complain until it blows up in production? TypeScript won't even let you do that. It flags it right in your editor.

Alex: Oh, so it's like... a spellcheck but for your logic?

Jamie: Exactly! That's a great way to put it. It's like having a really picky coworker who catches all your typos before the code ships. Kinda annoying at first, but you get used to it fast.

Alex: Huh. And the learning curve — is it rough?

Jamie: Not really. If you already know JS, you're probably looking at a week or two before it clicks. I'd say just start with one file, add types gradually. No need to go all in from day one.

Vocabulary Highlights

Expression	Meaning	Example
"blows up in production"	causes an error when real users run it	"...it won't complain until it blows up in production"
"go all in"	commit completely from the start	"No need to go all in from day one."
"clicks"	suddenly makes sense / you understand it	"...before it clicks"

Why This Sounds American

• "Oh man" and "Exactly!" are natural American enthusiasm markers
• "Kinda annoying" softens criticism the way Americans typically do in conversation

Rules

1. Stay faithful to the content — don't invent facts, just reframe what was actually discussed
2. Multiple exchanges — if the session covered multiple topics, create a separate conversation section for each
3. Natural length — 6–10 exchanges per topic is ideal; don't pad, don't cut too short
4. No stiff language — if you catch yourself writing "Furthermore" or "It is important to note", rewrite it
5. Auto-save to Obsidian — after generating, automatically save to /Users/gwanli/CS볼트V5/00. Inbox/08. 퀵캡쳐/영어메모/1. 영어메모_작업전/ as a .md file. File name format: convo_YYYY-MM-DD_[Topic].md (e.g., convo_2026-04-05_TypeScript.md). Use today's date and the first topic title. Do not ask — just save silently and confirm with the file path at the end.
