Microcopy Writer Skill

Microcopy is the smallest text with the biggest leverage: a button label, a field hint, a confirmation. Good microcopy is clear, action-oriented, and reduces hesitation — it tells the user exactly what will happen and what to do. This skill writes that text for a specific moment, with a couple of options and the reasoning, so the team can choose with intent.

Working from a brief

Given "a button for the checkout step" or a screenshot description, write the microcopy anyway — infer the context, the user's goal, and the voice, and label assumptions. Offer 2–3 options where wording is a judgement call. Never hand back a question instead of copy.
