ux-copy

ux-copy is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from makifbaysal/tasktrooper. It costs 46 tokens per session (908 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for writing the words people see in an interface, including buttons, labels, errors, empty states, confirmations, dates, and numbers. It explains how to match the product's language and make text fit its longest expected form.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write or review interface copy, name actions clearly, handle error and empty states, and check that longer translations or values do not break the layout.
Why use it?
It prevents unclear labels and messages from making a well-designed screen difficult to understand or recover from.

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.

UX Copy

Overview

The words are part of the design: a button label decides whether the user knows what happens next, an error decides whether they can recover. Copy written as an afterthought — "Submit", "Error occurred", "No data" — is how a well-drawn screen still fails.

Core principle: Say what happens, in the user's words, in the product's language — and write the longest version you will ever see.

Language and voice

  • Write in the product audience's content language (the brief names it) — never in TaskTrooper's own UI locale just because the board is in it.
  • Read the product's existing strings first (locales/*.json, Localizable.strings, res/values/strings.xml, lib/l10n/*.arb) and reuse its terms exactly: if the app says "Workspace", a new screen does not say "Project". Match its voice — formal or casual, "you" or impersonal.
  • Copy the brief gives is used verbatim. Copy you wrote is listed in #notes as draft copy.

Patterns

Element Write Not
Button verb + object, sentence case: "Send invoice" "Submit", "OK", "Click here"
Destructive button names the thing: "Delete invoice" "Delete", "Yes"
Field label a noun above the field: "Customer email" the placeholder as the only label
Placeholder an example: "[email protected]" the label repeated
Helper text the constraint, before the user hits it: "At least 8 characters" a tooltip-only hint
Error what happened + how to fix, no blame, no apology: "Enter an email address like [email protected]" "Invalid input", "Oops! Something went wrong"
System error what failed + what to do: "Invoices couldn't load. Check your connection and try again." + "Retry" an error code alone
Empty, first use why it is empty + the one next action: "No invoices yet — create your first one in under a minute." + "New invoice" "No data"
Empty, no results the query + the way out: "No invoices match "Ortiz"" + "Clear search" the first-use empty state
Success the outcome with the object: "Invoice INV-204 sent to Dana Ortiz" "Success!"
Confirmation dialog title asks with the object ("Delete invoice INV-204?"), body states the consequence ("This can't be undone."), buttons are the verb and "Cancel" "Are you sure?" with Yes / No
Link where it goes: "View invoice" "Click here", "More"
Icon-only control its accessible name, written in the spec: "Filter invoices" nothing

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.
