Interface copy rules: button and link labels, error messages, empty states, placeholders, toggles and consistent terminology. Use when writing or reviewing text users see in a web UI; commit messages, PRs, docs and replies belong to hr-plain-prose.
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
# Interface writing Clear and brief beats clever; consistent beats varied. The best error message is the interaction redesigned so the error cannot happen. How copy renders (capitalization via `text-transform`, truncation, smart punctuation) belongs to `hr-better-typography`. Error markup and announcements (`aria-invalid`, live regions) belong to `hr-better-accessibility`. Room for translated strings belongs to `hr-better-layout`. ## Recon the existing voice Before writing or reviewing, read the copy nearby. Note the product's terminology, its localization conventions and any voice or content style guide. A deliberate brand voice is not a defect. Raise a departure from plain language only when it creates inconsistency, ambiguity, translation risk, or a tone the stakes don't support. ## One voice, flexible tone The product has one voice and its existing copy establishes it. A local edit does not get to invent a new one. Keep terms consistent: if it's "Archive" in the menu, it isn't "Move to storage" in the toast. Tone flexes with the stakes: | Context | Tone | …

How to install
mdr add bompus/house-rules/hr-better-writing@sha256:8e57b2e13fa90795The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.2645dd1, 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.
