ux-copy

ux-copy is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from getcrew44/crew44. It costs 29 tokens per session (718 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for writing the short words people see inside an interface, such as buttons, error messages, empty states, confirmations, tooltips, and onboarding text. It focuses on clear, concise, consistent language that helps people act.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write or review button labels, error messages, empty-state text, confirmation dialogs, tooltips, and onboarding copy.
Why use it?
Poor interface text can make users unsure what happened or what to do next. Clear wording reduces ambiguity and explains errors without blaming the user.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ux-copy scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 72 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

UX Copy

Words in interfaces are design decisions. They set tone, frame action, and decide how the user feels at the moment they read them.

Principles

  • Clear. Say what you mean. No jargon, no ambiguity, no marketing copy in a moment that needs information.
  • Concise. Use the fewest words that carry the full meaning. Then cut one more.
  • Consistent. The same term for the same thing, everywhere. "Project," "workspace," and "board" are not interchangeable.
  • Useful. Every word helps the user act. Decorative copy is filler.
  • Human. Write like a person who's trying to help, not a system that's trying to log an event.

Patterns

CTAs

  • Start with a verb: "Start free trial," "Save changes," "Delete files."
  • Be specific: "Create account" beats "Submit."
  • Match the button label to the outcome. "Pay $29" tells the user exactly what happens next.

Error messages

Structure: what happened + why + how to fix.

"Payment declined. Your card was declined by your bank. Try a different card or contact your bank." Avoid blaming the user. Avoid "An error occurred." Avoid stack-trace nouns ("ValidationError: field invalid").

Empty states

Structure: what this is + why it's empty + how to start.

"No projects yet. Create your first project to start collaborating with your team." Empty states are onboarding moments — they're the first impression for users who haven't done anything yet.

Confirmation dialogs

  • Make the action the question: "Delete 3 files?" not "Are you sure?"
  • Describe consequences when relevant: "This can't be undone."
  • Label buttons with the action, not "OK"/"Cancel": Delete files / Keep files.

Tooltips

Concise, helpful, never restating what's already obvious from the label. If the tooltip says the same thing as the label, cut the tooltip.

Loading states

Set expectations. "Loading…" is fine for under a second. "Processing your file — this can take 30 seconds" is fine when it actually takes 30 seconds. Lying about duration erodes trust.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
