SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Clarify fixes unclear interface copy—like confusing labels, weak instructions, and unhelpful error messages—so users can understand what’s happening and what to do next.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Assess copy clarity: Identify ambiguity, jargon, tone mismatch, missing context, passive voice, and length issues.
  • Plan and rewrite systematically: Produce a clearer primary message, next action, appropriate tone, and constraint-aware wording.
  • Improve key UX writing moments: Error messages, form labels and instructions, CTAs, help text, empty states, success/loading states, confirmations, and navigation/wayfinding.
  • Use-case: When a user reports “I don’t know what this button does” or “the error doesn’t tell me how to fix it,” rewrite the relevant copy to reduce confusion and support tickets.

Quick Start

Use the clarify skill to rewrite the confusing UI text described by the user and provide clearer labels, instructions, and error messaging.
