Your bad buttons say "Submit." Your error messages say "An error occurred." Your empty states say absolutely nothing useful. This skill fixes all of that — turning the throwaway text scattered across your interface into copy that actually guides people through your product.

It covers the full range of microcopy: buttons, form labels, error messages, success states, empty states, loading indicators, permissions dialogs, and 404 pages. Each pattern comes with clear rules and concrete before/after examples, so the difference between "Invalid input" and "Try a different format" stops being a judgment call and starts being second nature.

Generic AI gets microcopy wrong because it optimizes for sounding helpful rather than being helpful. This skill is built around four specific goals — clarity, completion, confidence, and character — in that order of priority. The result is interface text that earns user trust instead of just filling space.
