ux-writing is a skill for Claude Code from joao-aires/agent-skills-public. It costs 51 tokens per session (626 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for writing and reviewing the words people see in an interface, such as labels, instructions, errors, empty states and confirmations. It keeps those words consistent with the actual task, product voice and supported languages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write, revise or harmonize copy across a user flow. It helps with validation messages, action labels, error messages and confirmation text.
Why use it?

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-writing 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 yesterday.

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.

Write interface copy for the actual task

Make the action, current state and consequences understandable in the product's voice. Use interaction design for behavior and interface quality for rendered fit.

Ground language in behavior

Read the whole affected flow, adjacent states and established vocabulary. Identify the reader's goal, what the system permits and knows, the stakes and the available next action. Separate UI text from sample data and annotations. Resolve technical facts from contracts/code; ask about unresolved product decisions that change meaning.

Match every recommended message, including the preferred default, to authoritative state and supported behavior.

  • Distinguish an acknowledged request, work in progress and confirmed outcome.
  • Recovery, notification, timing and download promises require a real contract.
  • Preserve material consequences of consent, payment, security, sharing and deletion; a copy change cannot redefine permissions or recovery.

Make decisions and recovery clear

Name the action by what happens to the user's object, using the same term before and after the action. A label should let the user predict the result without needing to understand the implementation. Keep field labels visible when values have been entered, and make destinations clear enough that navigation does not depend on surrounding decoration.

Review consequential confirmations as a whole. The title, explanation and actions should identify the affected object, what will happen, and any material consequence such as loss of access or irreversibility when established. Remove repetition that competes with that decision, while retaining information the user needs to choose safely. Supply complete localized replacements with their placeholders intact.

Distinguish validation, connectivity, denied authority and system failure. Explain the affected outcome and an available recovery action; preserve input where retry is supported. Give first use, no matches, loading, partial and unavailable data meanings suited to the task. Clarity should preserve the accepted brand voice.

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.
