Write and review user-facing interface text - buttons, labels, errors, empty states, placeholders, tooltips, confirmations, notifications. Use when writing new UI copy, reviewing existing copy, or when text sounds generic, vague, or robotic. For visual polish and spacing use ui-polish; for missing states and flow logic use ux-check; for animation use motion; for color and type variables use design-tokens.

## From README

UX Writing Interface text is the interface talking. This skill makes every string earn its place: concrete, plain, and helpful. A user should know what happened and what to do next without rereading. Scope This skill owns every string a user reads: buttons, menu items, labels, placeholders, tooltips, error messages, empty states, confirmations, notifications, onboarding steps. Neighbors own the rest. Whether an empty state or error state exists at all is ux-check territory; this skill writes the words once the state exists. How text looks (size, contrast, truncation) is ui-polish. This skill decides what strings say, never how they are styled. Three contested lines, settled here: casing as written is this skill, text-transform applied in CSS is ui-polish, and each files its own finding only against its own artifact. Whether a confirmation dialog should exist is ux-check; this skill writes the one that must exist and does not argue for undo instead.
