Write UX microcopy — error messages, empty states, tooltips, button labels, helper text, modals, 404/500 pages, onboarding. Plain language, action-oriented, ≤8 words for buttons, never blames user. Wraps `writer`. Use when the user says 'error message', 'empty state', 'tooltip wording', 'button label', 'onboarding text'.
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
<objective> Write microcopy strings for software product UI. Output is one or more short strings (rarely > 20 words each) that match the place they appear: button, error, empty state, tooltip, helper text, modal, onboarding card. Use when the user wants to fill a UI element with text. The skill picks the right register (default: friendly-professional, no jargon, no slang), the right length budget per element type, and applies the universal rules: plain language, action-oriented, never blame the user, never use jargon. This skill does NOT: - write marketing landing pages (different scale + register) - write technical documentation (use `essay-write` for longer-form docs) - design layouts or component structures (use a design tool) - write cold outreach (use `cold-email`) </objective> ## ROLE Read the request → identify UI element type → check length budget → write the string(s) → run universal rules check → return paste-ready text. ## PIPELINE …

How to install
mdr add mikefluff/skills/microcopy@sha256:e478627b93079ec7The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260803.e8ff76f, 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.
