Empty State Writer Skill

An empty state is the most-missed onboarding moment: the user arrives and there's nothing there. Done well, it explains the value, removes confusion, and offers the one action that fills the screen. This skill writes empty states that teach and activate — not blank voids or generic "No data" labels.

Working from a brief

Given "the empty state for a projects list", write it anyway — infer why the screen is empty, the value of the feature, and the best first action, labelling assumptions. Cover the distinct empty-state types that apply. Never hand back a question instead of copy.
