What it does

Vellum User Facing Copy is an agent skill from vellum-ai/vellum-assistant. Review Vellum Assistant user-facing copy, examples, docs, CLI output, UI strings, and assistant-facing release notes. Use when editing text users may read, including README files, SKILL.md files, CLI messages, route errors, update bulletins, and client UI labels.

Its SKILL.md is about 470 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 Development, covering Changelog and release notes, Skill authoring and Copy editing and proofreading. The repository describes itself as: An AI Assistant that’s easy to setup, does your work 24/7, knows your preferences and gets better over time. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Editing text users may read
  • Including README files
  • Update bulletins
  • Client UI labels

Example prompts

  • “/vellum-user-facing-copy”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Identify text users may read.
  2. Check terminology, privacy, and clarity.
  3. Check whether the copy implies unavailable or flagged behavior.
  4. Preserve technical precision while removing internal jargon.
  5. Recommend tests or snapshots when copy is part of a stable interface.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 33cc983. 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

Vellum User Facing Copy loads about 471 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 211 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~72
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~471

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.

Vellum User-Facing Copy

Terminology

Use "assistant" in user-facing text. "Daemon" is an internal implementation detail and should only appear in internal code, internal comments, file paths, or architecture explanations intended for maintainers.

When unsure, ask: would a user ever read this? If yes, say "assistant".

Generic Examples

Never include real personal data in examples, fixtures, tests, docs, or commit messages.

Use:

  • Names: Alice, Bob, Example User
  • Emails: user@example.com, alice@example.org
  • Phone numbers: 555-0100 through 555-0199
  • IDs: user-123, org-abc, conv-xyz

Avoid real names, personal emails, real phone numbers, account IDs, tokens, or private workspace paths.

Release Notes

There is currently no release-note surfacing mechanism — the workspace-bulletin feature was removed. Do not add new release-note workspace migrations; the historical set is frozen.

Error Messages

Good user-facing errors:

  • explain what failed
  • avoid exposing internals or secrets
  • say what the user can do next when there is a clear action
  • use consistent product terminology

Avoid stack traces, implementation-only vocabulary, and ambiguous "something went wrong" messages when a concrete cause is available.

Review Workflow

  1. Identify text users may read.
  2. Check terminology, privacy, and clarity.
  3. Check whether the copy implies unavailable or flagged behavior.
  4. Preserve technical precision while removing internal jargon.
  5. Recommend tests or snapshots when copy is part of a stable interface.
