Usage
/ux-copy $ARGUMENTS
What I Need From You
- Context: What screen, flow, or feature?
- User state: What is the user trying to do? How are they feeling?
- Tone: Formal, friendly, playful, reassuring?
- Constraints: Character limits, platform guidelines?
Principles
- Clear: Say exactly what you mean. No jargon, no ambiguity.
- Concise: Use the fewest words that convey the full meaning.
- Consistent: Same terms for the same things everywhere.
- Useful: Every word should help the user accomplish their goal.
- Human: Write like a helpful person, not a robot.
Copy Patterns
CTAs
- Start with a verb: "Start free trial", "Save changes", "Download report"
- Be specific: "Create account" not "Submit"
- Match the outcome to the label
Error Messages
Structure: What happened + Why + How to fix
- "Payment declined. Your card was declined by your bank. Try a different card or contact your bank."
Empty States
Structure: What this is + Why it's empty + How to start
- "No projects yet. Create your first project to start collaborating with your team."
Confirmation Dialogs
- Make the action clear: "Delete 3 files?" not "Are you sure?"
- Describe consequences: "This can't be undone"
- Label buttons with the action: "Delete files" / "Keep files" not "OK" / "Cancel"
Tooltips
- Concise, helpful, never obvious
Loading States
- Set expectations, reduce anxiety
Onboarding
- Progressive disclosure, one concept at a time
Voice and Tone
Adapt tone to context:
- Success: Celebratory but not over the top
- Error: Empathetic and helpful
- Warning: Clear and actionable
- Neutral: Informative and concise

If Connectors Available
If ~~knowledge base is connected:
- Pull your brand voice guidelines and content style guide
- Check for existing copy patterns and terminology standards
If ~~design tool is connected:
- View the screen context in Figma to understand the full user flow
- Check character limits and layout constraints from the design
Tips
- Be specific about context — "Error message when payment fails" is better than "error message."
- Share your brand voice — "We're professional but warm" helps me match your tone.
- Consider the user's emotional state — Error messages need empathy. Success messages can celebrate.

Reads a forwarded customer email or ticket, pulls order/refund status from PayPal and account history from HubSpot, drafts a tone-matched reply in the owner's writing voice, and can issue a PayPal refund with explicit owner approval. Use when the user says "draft a response," "answer this customer," "where's my order," or "I want a refund."

Prepares tax-season materials for small business owners — framed as deliverables for their accountant, not tax advice. Two modes: (1) quarterly estimated tax calculation — pulls YTD net income from QuickBooks and calculates the federal income tax + self-employment tax liability and quarterly payment due; (2) year-end 1099 prep — scans QuickBooks, PayPal, and Stripe for contractors paid over $600, builds a 1099-NEC candidate list with missing W-9 flags, and produces a plain-English summary a CPA can work from directly. Trigger this skill whenever the user mentions: quarterly taxes, estimated tax payment, how much to set aside for taxes, 1099s, 1099-NEC, year-end tax prep, contractor payments, W-9s, or any phrase suggesting they are preparing for a tax deadline or handing materials to an accountant. Also trigger proactively when a user asks about net profit or YTD income in a context that suggests they are worried about their tax bill.

The front door to the Small Business plugin. Listens to what the owner needs right now — vague or specific — and routes them to the best skill or slash command for the moment. Also serves as a guide: explains what's available, suggests what to try next, and adapts recommendations based on stored business context. Trigger whenever the owner asks "what can you do," "help me with my business," "what should I focus on," "I don't know where to start," or any open-ended business request that doesn't clearly match a single skill.
