Write or review UI copy — buttons, errors, empty states, microcopy, notifications, labels — using the voice & tone system (clear, concise, useful, human, honest) with the what→why→how error formula and inclusive-language rules. Use when the user needs interface copy, error messages, empty-state text, or a copy review.

# Skill: UX Writing Produce or critique interface copy in the project's voice. ## Steps 1. Read `content/voice-tone.md` (voice principles, tone spectrum, formulas, microcopy patterns, inclusive language, pre-ship checklist). 2. Match tone to the user's emotional state (onboarding/success/routine/error/destructive). Higher stress → plainer language. 3. Apply the formulas: - Buttons: frontload the verb, name the outcome. - **Confirmation dialogs:** the confirm button **restates the action and object** — "Delete account", not "Delete"/"OK"/"Yes"/"Confirm". The title asks ("Delete account?"), the button answers in matching words. Cancel stays "Cancel". For irreversible/high-stakes actions, require a **type-to-confirm** step (WCAG 3.3.4/3.3.6). - Errors: what happened → why → how to fix (no dead ends, no codes/stack traces). - Empty states: value → first action. 4. Enforce mechanics: sentence case, no ALL CAPS, numerals, no blame on the user, labels (not placeholders), no directional/color-only instructions. 5. Run the 10-item pre-ship copy checklist. ## Output Final copy (or a redline review) that reads naturally aloud and passes the checklist. Keep within any character limits for tight UI. ## Verification (mandatory before declaring done) Run every line through the 10-item pre-ship checklist in `content/voice-tone.md` — do not skip it: - Reads naturally **aloud**; frontloaded verb on actions; no jargon/blame/dead-ends. - Errors follow what→why→how; empty states g
