UX Writing — Interface Copy

Operationalizes the craft of the words *inside* a product: button labels, error messages, empty states, form hints, confirmations, toasts, notifications, and the terminology holding them together. The governing idea: interface copy is not decoration applied after the build — it is the part of the interface that states what the system will do, and it must be true.

Principios

  • · Aplica los principios documentados en el pack ux-writing.

Patrones

  • · Verb + object, two to three words. "Save draft", "Invite teammate". Exception: a single verb is fine when the object is the whole screen and unambiguous.
  • · The button repeats the dialog's verb. If the title asks about deleting, the button says "Delete", never "Yes" or "OK".
  • · Name the destination when you're sending someone somewhere. "Continue to payment" beats "Continue" whenever the next step costs money, time, or trust.
  • · Say the count when the action is bulk. "Archive 14 orders" — the number is the safety mechanism.
  • · The escape option must never sound like an action. In a "discard changes?" dialog the safe choice is "Keep editing", not "Cancel" (cancel *what* — the edits or the dialog?).

Checklist

  • [ ] ★ Every action label names an effect the code actually produces. (UWE1, UWE6)
  • [ ] ★ No success or confirmation message can fire for an operation that didn't succeed. (UWE2, UWE3)
  • [ ] ★ No label claims a capability the feature doesn't have — AI, import, export, sync, automation. (UWE4)
  • [ ] ★ No meaning is carried only by a tooltip, title attribute, or hover state. (UWE38)
  • [ ] ★ Field errors are rendered in text, associated with their field, and not signalled by colour alone. (UWE21, UWE40)
  • [ ] ★ Destructive confirmations name the object and scope, and state reversibility truthfully. (UWE14, UWE16)
