About ux-copy
The ux-copy skill is designed to help product teams, designers, and developers craft and refine user experience (UX) copy for digital interfaces. It addresses common challenges in interface writing, such as unclear call-to-actions (CTAs), confusing error messages, empty states that fail to guide users, and inconsistent onboarding instructions. By providing guidance and generating suggestions based on context, the skill ensures that every piece of copy enhances usability, aligns with brand voice, and communicates clearly with users.
The skill supports a wide range of copy types and provides structured patterns for writing effective UX text. Its features include guidance for CTAs that start with verbs and match user outcomes, error messages that explain what happened and how to fix it, empty states that clarify why a screen is empty and what users can do, confirmation dialogs with clear actions and consequences, tooltips that are concise and helpful, loading states that set expectations, and onboarding text that introduces concepts progressively. The skill also adapts tone to context, ensuring messages are empathetic for errors, celebratory for successes, and clear for warnings or neutral information.
This skill is particularly useful for UX writers, product managers, and designers who want to improve the clarity, consistency, and effectiveness of their interface copy. Use cases include writing new microcopy for apps and websites, reviewing existing text for usability improvements, aligning copy with brand voice, and ensuring localization-friendly phrasing. Whether creating CTAs, error prompts, or onboarding flows, ux-copy helps teams communicate more effectively with users and improve overall user satisfaction.
