Usage
/design:ux-copy $ARGUMENTS

- User state: What is the user trying to do? How are they feeling?
- Tone: Formal, friendly, playful, reassuring?
- Constraints: Character limits, platform guidelines?
Output
## UX Copy: [Context]
### Recommended Copy
**[Element]**: [Copy]
### Alternatives
| Option | Copy | Tone | Best For |
|--------|------|------|----------|
| A | [Copy] | [Tone] | [When to use] |
| B | [Copy] | [Tone] | [When to use] |
| C | [Copy] | [Tone] | [When to use] |
### Rationale
[Why this copy works — user context, clarity, action-orientation]
### Localization Notes
[Anything translators should know — idioms to avoid, character expansion, cultural context]
Common UX Copy Types
- CTAs: Clear, specific, action-oriented ("Start free trial" not "Submit")
- Error messages: What happened, why, and how to fix it
- Empty states: Guide the user to take their first action
- Confirmation dialogs: Make the consequences clear
- Onboarding: Progressive disclosure, one concept at a time
- Tooltips: Concise, helpful, never obvious
- Loading states: Set expectations, reduce anxiety
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.
