## Decision tree

1. **Is the full skill already installed?**
   - Global: `grep -q "^das:" ~/.agents/skills/ux-writing-skill/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null && echo "pointer" || echo "installed"`
   - Project: `grep -q "^das:" .agents/skills/ux-writing-skill/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null && echo "pointer" || echo "installed"`
   - No `das:` block → full skill installed, invoke and proceed
   - `das:` block present → go to step 2

2. **Detect scope, then install:**

   ```bash
   [ -e ~/.agents/skills/ux-writing-skill ] && echo "global" || echo "project"
   ```

   **Global:**
   ```bash
   npx skills add content-designer/ux-writing-skill --skill ux-writing-skill -g -y
   ```

   **Project:**
   ```bash
   npx skills add content-designer/ux-writing-skill --skill ux-writing-skill -y
   ```
   > **Claude Code:** send either command as a chat message starting with `!` to run it without leaving the conversation.

## What it does

Applies systematic UX writing standards to every piece of interface copy. Four quality dimensions: **Purposeful** (serves user goals), **Concise** (8–14 words for labels), **Conversational** (active voice, second person), **Clear** (no jargon). Covers the most common UI copy patterns:

- **Buttons & CTAs** — action-verb labels, primary/secondary/destructive framing
- **Error messages** — what happened, why, how to fix (never blame the user)
- **Empty states** — purpose, value prop, call to action
- **Form labels & placeholders** — distinction between label, hint, placeholder, validation
- **Notifications & toasts** — urgency calibration, dismissal copy
- **Onboarding** — progressive disclosure, setup copy, success moments
- **Accessibility** — screen reader-first phrasing, `aria-label` guidance, cognitive load

## When NOT to use

- Long-form product marketing copy — use `copywriting-skill`
- Removing AI writing patterns from existing text — use `humanize-text`
- Full content strategy / information architecture — use `design-with-claude` (`content-strategist`)
