Individual skill
ux-writing
Write and review the words inside a product — button labels, error messages, empty states, confirmations, settings labels, placeholders, notifications — and the documentation prose around it, including READMEs, docs pages and release notes. Grounds the wording in the JTBD corpus (the anxiety force tells you what a confirmation must defuse) and hands the result to respondent-panel to find out whether strangers read it the way you meant. Use when writing or reviewing any user-facing string. Triggers on UX writing, microcopy, interface copy, button labels, error messages, empty states, placeholder text, settings labels, confirmation dialog, notification copy, README wording, rewrite these docs, release notes copy, "what should this button say", "rewrite this error", "перепиши текст кнопки".

# UX Writing
**Announce at start:** "I'm using the humane:ux-writing skill to write and review the words inside this product."
The words are part of the interface, not a layer applied to it. A control that
names its exact action needs no tooltip; an error that says what to do next
needs no support ticket. Clear beats clever, consistent beats varied, and the
best error message is the interaction redesigned so the error cannot happen.
## What this skill owns, and what it doesn't
Owns: the **source wording** of every user-facing string, and the decision about
what a string must accomplish.
