SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Improve unclear, confusing, or unhelpful interface text so users understand what happened and what to do next, reducing errors, frustration, and support requests. The Skill targets microcopy that breaks task flows: error messages, form labels, CTAs, help text, empty and loading states, and confirmations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Clarity analysis: Identify jargon, ambiguity, passive voice, missing context, and tone mismatches in existing copy.
  • Targeted rewrites: Produce concise, action-oriented alternatives for error messages, form labels, buttons, and help text that include suggested fixes or next steps.
  • Validation & testing guidance: Recommend phrasing tests, readability checks, and contextual constraints (character limits, localization notes) to verify improvements.
  • Use case: Turn a terse error like "Invalid input" into "Invalid email address. Use this format: [email protected]" and provide tone and audience adjustments.

Quick Start

Revise the error message "Error 403: Forbidden" into a clear, user-friendly message that explains why access is blocked and what the user can do next.
