Writes and reviews the small text in user interfaces: button labels, error messages, empty states, confirmations, toasts, labels, placeholders and tooltips, in English and Persian. Use whenever the user asks for UI text, error wording, button names, onboarding copy or a copy review, sees vague messages like "Something went wrong" or "Are you sure?", or wants consistent, helpful, non-blaming wording, even if they only say "what should this message say?". Lints strings with a script, then…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# hci-microcopy

Words are part of the interface. Good microcopy tells people what is happening and what to do next, in a calm voice, without blame. Builds on `hci-foundations` (error recovery, match with the real world, consistency).

```
hci-microcopy/
├── SKILL.md
├── scripts/
│   └── lint_microcopy.py          lint UI strings from JSON, CSV or text (English and Persian)
├── references/
│   └── microcopy-guide.md         principles, patterns for buttons, errors, empty states, confirms, tone, Persian
└── templates/
    └── strings.json               example string table with good copy
```

## When to use

- Writing or rewriting error messages, button labels, empty states, confirmations, toasts, hints
- Auditing an app's text for vague, blaming, technical or inconsistent wording
- Creating a glossary and voice guide
- Preparing strings for translation, including Persian

## Workflow

1. **Collect the strings with context**: id, type (error, button, empty, confirm, toast, success, label, placeholder, tooltip), where it appears and what just happened. Without context, ask for it; copy written blind is guesswork.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mehranqadirian/skills/hci-microcopy@sha256:3c90f880ad2bf9a9

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.81fe8aa, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
