content-design

content-design is a skill for Claude Code from vmobifystudio/app-dev-team. It costs 69 tokens per session (632 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for writing words users see in an interface, such as buttons, labels, empty states, errors, permission requests, and notifications. It focuses on clear wording and useful next steps.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps write and review interface text for controls, errors, onboarding, permissions, and other user-facing messages.
Why use it?
Vague interface text leaves people unsure what happened or what a button will do. Clear copy makes actions, errors, and empty screens easier to understand.

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

content-design 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 57 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Content design

The interface is mostly words. Words written last, by whoever was implementing, are the ones users actually read.

Buttons and labels

  • A button says what happens when you press it. Save changes, not OK. Delete 3 photos, not Confirm.
  • A destructive button names what is destroyed and whether it comes back. "This cannot be undone" belongs in the dialog, not in the button.
  • Sentence case throughout. Never end a button label with a full stop.
  • Cancel means "nothing happens". Never label a button Cancel when something happens.

Errors — three parts, always

  1. What happened, in the user's terms, not the system's.
  2. Whether their data is safe. This is the question they are actually asking.
  3. What to do next, as an action they can take right now.

Something went wrong fails all three. Couldn't save — your note is still here. Retry when you're back online. passes all three in one line. Never show an error code without also showing prose, and never show raw exception text.

Empty states

An empty state is not a blank screen with an apology. It says what belongs here, why it is empty (new, filtered, or failed — three different states, three different messages), and the one action that fills it.

Permission prompts

Ask at the moment of need, never at launch. The prompt says what the user gets, not what the app wants. The system string (NSCameraUsageDescription etc.) is written by you, not by an engineer at build time — and a denied permission needs a working path, not a dead end.

The rules

  • Every user-visible string goes into the localisation file from the moment it is written. Retrofitting is far more expensive and is where hardcoded strings survive to ship (localisation).
  • No placeholder text reaches a build. Lorem ipsum, TODO, Test in a screenshot is an ASO and a review failure at once.
  • One term per concept, product-wide. A record is not an "item" here and an "entry" there. Keep the list in docs/14-components.md.
  • Numbers, dates, currencies and plurals are formatted by the platform's locale-aware API — never by string concatenation.

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.
