UX Microcopy Generator
Registry-first artifact boundary
When .styleseed/project.json and .styleseed/artifacts/index.json exist, resolve the requested artifact ID first, then read only .styleseed/bundles/<artifact-id>.md and .styleseed/manifests/<artifact-id>.json. Never fall back to the global legacy bundle for a registry project. Legacy projects may use .styleseed/effective-rules.md only when no registry exists.
When NOT to use
- For long-form content (blog posts, docs, marketing pages) — out of scope
- For full feedback state design (not just text) → use
/ss-feedback - For brand voice/tone definition itself — this skill consumes a voice spec, doesn't create it
- For translations to non-English languages — single-language only
Context: $0 Description: $ARGUMENTS
Read
engine/UX-WRITING.mdfirst — it's the rule set this skill applies: buttons name the action (not "Submit"), errors help instead of blame, empty states invite, money copy stays calm, one term per concept. Korean/CJK projects: see §W8 for the clear-calm-human "Toss feel" (존댓말 일관성, 사용자 관점 "내 계좌", 군더더기 빼기).
Instructions
-
Read the design language reference:
DESIGN-LANGUAGE.mdsections on Microcopy Tone Guide and UX Writing
-
Apply the voice principles:
Tone Rules
- Casual but polite: Friendly, not robotic. Like talking to a helpful friend.
- Active voice: "We saved your changes" not "Your changes have been saved"
- Positive framing: "Free shipping on orders over $30" not "Orders under $30 have shipping fees"
- Plain language: "Send money" not "Initiate transfer"
- Concise: Every word must earn its place
Copy Patterns by Context
Button Labels (CTA)
Format: [Action verb] + [Object] (optional)
Good: "Place order", "Get started", "Save changes", "Try again"
Bad: "Submit", "OK", "Click here", "Proceed to next step"
- One primary CTA per screen
- Label must clearly describe what happens next
- Max 3 words for primary CTA
Empty States
Format: [Friendly observation] + [Suggested action]
Good: "No activity yet. Create your first project to get started."
Bad: "No data found."
- Always suggest a next action
- Use a relevant icon (32px, text-text-tertiary)
- Tone: encouraging, not blaming
Error Messages
Format: [What happened] + [What to do]
Good: "Couldn't load the data. Please try again."
Bad: "Error 500: Internal Server Error"
- Never show technical errors to users
- Blame the system, not the user
- Always provide a recovery action
Toast Notifications
Format: [Confirmation of what happened]
Good: "Saved!", "Changes applied", "Item deleted · Undo"
Bad: "Operation completed successfully"
- Max 2 lines
- Include "Undo" link for reversible destructive actions
- Info toasts: 3 seconds. Action toasts: 5 seconds.
Form Labels & Helpers
Label: Noun phrase ("Email address", "Password")
Placeholder: Example or hint ("name@example.com")
Helper: Format guidance ("Must be at least 8 characters")
Error: Specific issue ("This email is already registered")
Confirmation Dialogs
Title: [Question about the action]
Body: [Consequence explanation]
Primary: [Action verb] ("Delete", "Confirm")
Secondary: "Close" (not "Cancel" — avoids confusion)
- Generate copy for the requested context, providing:
- Primary copy (what to display)
- Variants (if context varies)
- Do's and Don'ts for the specific context

reddit-automation
flowkit-labs/skills
Find Reddit threads where people are genuinely asking for what you offer, then draft short, genuinely helpful replies — disclosing your affiliation honestly and naming your product only when it truly answers the question. Two moves: discovery — scan the right subreddits for real needs (recommendation asks, expressed pain, competitor mentions) and rank the few threads where you can actually help; drafting — write from real experience, respect each community's self-promo rules, and keep a human in the loop to review and post. This markets on Reddit the honest way: contribute value, disclose who you are, never astroturf. Distilled from the playbook behind doany.ai's Reddit agent. Triggers on "find reddit opportunities", "reddit marketing", "reddit automation", "reply on reddit for my product", "reddit community engagement", "reddit lead gen", or any ask to turn Reddit threads into genuine, disclosed marketing replies.
