# Microcopy Writer Skill

Microcopy is the smallest text with the biggest leverage: a button label, a field hint, a confirmation. Good
microcopy is **clear, action-oriented, and reduces hesitation** — it tells the user exactly what will happen
and what to do. This skill writes that text for a specific moment, with a couple of options and the reasoning,
so the team can choose with intent.

## Working from a brief

Given "a button for the checkout step" or a screenshot description, **write the microcopy anyway** — infer the
context, the user's goal, and the voice, and label assumptions. Offer 2–3 options where wording is a judgement
call. Never hand back a question instead of copy.
