At a glance

Rules for user-visible text and controls in the Noodle apps.

  • Changing a label
  • SKILL.md covers Ellipsis and Row actions
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Shortcut legend

What it does

UI Copy is an agent skill from pdparchitect/noodle. Rules for user-visible text and controls in the Noodle apps. Use whenever adding or changing a label, title, button, menu item, link, toggle, status or error message, hint, placeholder, footer, shortcut legend, tooltip or any other visible string in a SwiftUI, AppKit or web view, especially when deciding on a trailing ellipsis or where a row's actions go.

Its SKILL.md is about 490 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Mobile, covering iOS development. It works with SwiftUI and macOS. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Changing a label
  • Shortcut legend
  • Any other visible string in a SwiftUI
  • Especially when deciding on a trailing ellipsis

Example prompts

  • “Use the ui-copy skill to rule for user-visible text and controls in the Noodle apps”
  • “/ui-copy”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 702339e. 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

UI Copy loads about 486 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 91 tokens; SKILL.md has 252 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~91
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~486

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.

description
Rules for user-visible text and controls in the Noodle apps. Use whenever adding or changing a label, title, button, menu item, link, toggle, status or error message, hint, placeholder, footer, shortcut legend, tooltip or any other visible string in a SwiftUI, AppKit or web view, especially when deciding on a trailing ellipsis or where a row's actions go.

UI copy

Keep visible copy focused on functional labels and necessary status or error messages.

Do not add persistent instructional hints, shortcut legends, or explanatory footer text unless explicitly requested.

Put optional guidance in tooltips or documentation.

Annotating is by keyboard shortcut only. Never add an Annotate button or link to any window, panel, header or footer; the Annotate menu commands stay.

Ellipsis

End a label with … (the single character, never three dots) only when the command needs more input before it can run: a name, a choice, a picker, a sheet or window that has to be filled in.

  • Rename…, Pair…, Edit…, Settings…: yes, they ask for more.
  • Check for Updates: no, it just checks; any choices come after.
  • New Bot, New Container: no, as in New Window or New Message, even when the new item opens a form.
  • Remove, Delete Plan, Quit: no, even though they show an "Are you sure?" alert. A confirmation is not more input.
  • Invite: no, its sheet only shows a code and link to share.
  • Links and buttons that open System Settings or a web page: no.
  • A toggle in a menu is a checkmark item, never an ellipsis.

Row actions

  • Keep a row to its main controls; move secondary actions and per-item switches into its … actions menu, with switches as checkmark items above a divider and the destructive action last; separate unrelated settings, such as a submenu and a switch, with a divider too.
  • Buttons inside list rows use .buttonStyle(.link), as in System Settings.
