# Microcopy Audit Skill
## How this skill behaves (read first)
This is an **evaluative** skill — it reviews existing copy, auto-runs, and is built to be **called as a validation step** by generative skills (the `ux-microcopy` writer, plus `typography`, `dashboard`, `onboarding`, and component skills hand off here for their labels and messages).
It owns **copy quality**. Deliberate deferrals:
- **Manipulative copy** (confirmshaming, fake urgency, guilt) → the **dark-patterns audit** owns intent; flag and route.
- **Copy accessibility specifics** (alt text rules, screen-reader behavior) → the **accessibility audit**; this skill flags plain-language/clarity, defers the technical a11y mechanics.
**Scope discipline.** When invoked directly (the user named this audit), review **only this concern** — don't pull in sibling audits. It runs alongside other lenses only when an orchestrator (`ux-design-review`) or a generative skill calls it under `docs/orchestration-policy.md`, where it sits in **Tier A — always-relevant, auto-runs**. Explicit scope always wins.
