# Microcopy Writer Skill Microcopy is the smallest text with the biggest leverage: a button label, a field hint, a confirmation. Good microcopy is **clear, action-oriented, and reduces hesitation** — it tells the user exactly what will happen and what to do. This skill writes that text for a specific moment, with a couple of options and the reasoning, so the team can choose with intent. ## Working from a brief Given "a button for the checkout step" or a screenshot description, **write the microcopy anyway** — infer the context, the user's goal, and the voice, and label assumptions. Offer 2–3 options where wording is a judgement call. Never hand back a question instead of copy. ## Required Inputs Ask for these only if they aren't already provided (else infer and label): - **The element & moment** — what UI element (button, label, tooltip, toast…) and where in the flow. - **The user's goal** — what they're trying to do, and what happens when they act. - **Constraints** — character limits, the existing voice/tone, and any required terms. - **Stakes** — is the action reversible, risky, or final (affects tone and confirmation). ## Output Format ### Microcopy: [element / moment] For each
