Cro Ux Writing

Write clear, actionable interface copy at a Grade 8 level that guides users, ensures consistency, and provides helpful, problem-solving error messages.

Security Scan

This is an instruction-only UX-writing helper whose requirements and instructions align with its stated purpose and do not request sensitive access.

Purpose & Capability

The name and description promise UX/UX-writing guidance; the SKILL.md contains only writing rules and examples. There are no unrelated requirements (no env vars, binaries, or config paths) that would be disproportionate to a copywriting assistant.

Instruction Scope

Runtime instructions are limited to style and phrasing guidance for interface copy. They do not direct the agent to read files, access credentials, or transmit user data. Note: the doc mentions a third-party product (racoonn.me) and a forthcoming API; that is promotional and not an active runtime integration, but future versions that add API calls should be re-reviewed.

Install Mechanism

No install spec and no code files — this is instruction-only, so nothing is written to disk or downloaded during install.

Credentials

The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. There are no surprising or unrelated secrets requested.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill does not request elevated or persistent presence. It does not modify other skills or system settings.

Assessment

This skill appears coherent and low-risk: it only provides UX-writing rules and contains no code, installs, or credential requests. You can install it without exposing secrets, but because the source and homepage are unknown, watch for future updates—especially if the skill later adds an API integration, install steps, or required environment variables. If you let the agent invoke skills autonomously, treat this like any other third-party skill and monitor outputs for unexpected behavior.

UX Writing for Conversion

When to Use

Use this skill when writing or reviewing interface copy — labels, instructions, confirmations, error messages — to improve usability and conversion.

Core Rules

1. Write for Action, Not Description

Interface copy should prompt action, not describe features. "Analyze my landing page" on a button converts better than "Analysis Tool." "See where users drop off" beats "View Analytics." Every piece of copy should answer: what will the user do or get?

2. Use Plain Language at All Literacy Levels

Your product's interface will be used by people with varying technical literacy. Write at a Grade 8 reading level: short sentences, common words, no jargon. If a 14-year-old couldn't understand your interface copy, rewrite it.

3. Front-Load Important Information

Users scan interfaces rather than reading them linearly. Put the most important word or concept at the beginning of labels, headings, and instructions. "Free plan: 5 tests per month" is more scannable than "With the free plan, you can run up to 5 tests per month."

4. Be Consistent With Terminology

Using "workspace," "project," and "account" interchangeably to mean the same thing creates confusion. Establish a glossary of terms for your product and use them consistently across every surface: UI, emails, help docs, and marketing.

5. Write Error Messages That Solve Problems

Error messages are the most important UX copy in your product and the most neglected. A good error message explains what went wrong, why it happened, and exactly what the user should do next. Bad error messages blame users or provide no actionable path forward.

Quick Reference

Copy Element	Formula
Button labels	Verb + object ("Save changes")
Empty states	What's missing + what to do
Error messages	What happened + how to fix
Success states	What was completed + what's next
Tooltips	Why this matters + how to use it

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Using technical or database language in user-facing copy
• Writing placeholder text that doubles as a field label — it disappears on focus
• Inconsistent capitalization and punctuation — creates a perception of low quality
