What it does

Microcopy Writer is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Write the small UI text that guides users — buttons, labels, tooltips, CTAs, confirmations. Use when asked to write microcopy, button/CTA text, form labels, tooltips, helper text, or to make UI wording clearer. Produces specific, action-oriented microcopy with options and rationale, matched to the moment and the product's voice — concise, scannable, and free of jargon.

Its SKILL.md is about 920 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to write microcopy
  • Button/CTA text
  • Make UI wording clearer

Example prompts

  • “/microcopy-writer”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Microcopy Writer loads about 918 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 97 tokens; SKILL.md has 468 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~97
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~918

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Write the small UI text that guides users — buttons, labels, tooltips, CTAs, confirmations. Use when asked to write microcopy, button/CTA text, form labels, tooltips, helper text, or to make UI wording clearer. Produces specific, action-oriented microcopy with options and rationale, matched to the moment and the product's voice — concise, scannable, and free of jargon.

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.

Required Inputs

Ask for these only if they aren't already provided (else infer and label):

  • The element & moment — what UI element (button, label, tooltip, toast…) and where in the flow.
  • The user's goal — what they're trying to do, and what happens when they act.
  • Constraints — character limits, the existing voice/tone, and any required terms.
  • Stakes — is the action reversible, risky, or final (affects tone and confirmation).

Output Format

Microcopy: [element / moment]

For each piece of text:

  • Recommended — the best option, ready to ship.
  • Alternatives — 1–2 other options with a different angle (shorter, warmer, more explicit).
  • Why — one line: what makes the recommended version work (clarity, the verb, the expectation it sets).

Apply the principles: lead with a verb for actions ("Save changes", not "OK"); say what happens next; keep it short and specific; match voice; and for risky/irreversible actions, make the consequence explicit ("Delete 3 files" beats "Are you sure?"). Cover the related states if relevant (default, loading, success, error).

End with consistency notes — terms/patterns to reuse elsewhere so the product speaks with one voice.

Quality Checks

  • Action text leads with a specific verb and sets the right expectation (no bare "OK"/"Submit" when something clearer fits)
  • It's concise and scannable — no filler, no jargon
  • Risky/irreversible actions state the consequence, not just "Are you sure?"
  • Wording matches the product's voice and existing terminology
  • Options are given where wording is a real judgement call, each with a one-line rationale
  • Related states (loading/success/error) are covered when relevant

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not use vague labels ("OK", "Submit", "Click here") when a specific verb communicates the outcome
  • Do not write clever copy that obscures what the button does — clarity beats personality at decision points
  • Do not ignore character limits or the existing voice — microcopy must fit the UI and the brand
  • Do not hide consequences behind a generic confirmation — name what will happen
  • Do not invent product terms — reuse the established vocabulary for consistency

Based On

UX writing practice — action-oriented, expectation-setting microcopy, voice consistency, and clarity at decision points.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Write microcopy for this form."
  • "Write button and CTA text."
  • "Write tooltips and helper text."
  • "Make this UI wording clearer."
