# /ux-copy > If you see unfamiliar placeholders or need to check which tools are connected, see [CONNECTORS.md](../../CONNECTORS.md). Write or review UX copy for any interface context. ## Usage ``` /ux-copy $ARGUMENTS ``` ## What I Need From You - **Context**: What screen, flow, or feature? - **User state**: What is the user trying to do? How are they feeling? - **Tone**: Formal, friendly, playful, reassuring? - **Constraints**: Character limits, platform guidelines? ## Principles 1. **Clear**: Say exactly what you mean. No jargon, no ambiguity. 2. **Concise**: Use the fewest words that convey the full meaning. 3. **Consistent**: Same terms for the same things everywhere. 4. **Useful**: Every word should help the user accomplish their goal. 5. **Human**: Write like a helpful person, not a robot. ## Copy Patterns ### CTAs - Start with a verb: "Start free trial", "Save changes", "Download report" - Be specific: "Create account" not "Submit" - Match the outcome to the label ### Error Messages Structure: What happened + Why + How to fix - "Payment declined. Your card was declined by your bank. Try a different card or contact your bank." ### Empty States Structure: What this is + Why it's empty + How to start - "No projects yet. Create your first project to start collaborating with your team." ### Confirmation Dialogs - Make the action clear: "Delete 3 files?" not "Are you sure?" - Describe consequences: "This can't be undone" - Label buttons with the action: "Delete files" / "Keep files" not "OK" / "Cancel" ### Tooltips - Concise, helpful, never obvious ### Loading States - Set expectations, reduce anxiety ### Onboarding - Progressive disclosure, one concept at a time ## Voice and Tone Adapt tone to context: - **Success**: Celebratory but not over the top - **Error**: Empathetic and helpful - **Warning**: Clear and actionable - **Neutral**: Informative and concise ## Output ```markdown ## UX Copy: [Context] ### Recommended Copy **[Element]**: [Copy] ### Alternatives | Option | Copy | Tone | Best For | |--------|------|------|----------| | A | [Copy] | [Tone] | [When to use] | | B | [Copy] | [Tone] | [When to use] | | C | [Copy] | [Tone] | [When to use] | ### Rationale [Why this copy works — user context, clarity, action-orientation] ### Localization Notes [Anything translators should know — idioms to avoid, character expansion, cultural context] ``` ## If Connectors Available If **~~knowledge base** is connected: - Pull your brand voice guidelines and content style guide - Check for existing copy patterns and terminology standards If **~~design tool** is connected: - View the screen context in Figma to understand the full user flow - Check character limits and layout constraints from the design ## Tips 1. **Be specific about context** — "Error message when payment fails" is better than "error message." 2. **Share your brand voice** — "We're professional but warm" helps me match your tone. 3. **Consider the user's emotional state** — Error messages need empathy. Success messages can celebrate.
