Details
From the project READMECopy
This skill writes and reviews the words inside an interface. It covers labels, descriptions, status text and the punctuation they use.
Casing and punctuation are exact
A label in sentence case is a finding. An em dash is a finding. A label that could lose a word is a finding only when the shorter label still says what happens.
Extra interface beyond the words belongs to restraint.
Labels take Title Case
Buttons, menu items, tabs, headings and setting names use Title Case. Short articles, conjunctions and prepositions stay lowercase unless they come first. "Add to library" is copy-title-case.
As few words as still say what happens
"Start Download" on a download screen is copy-fewest-words. Show a number on its own when the context already names the noun. "12 items" is copy-number-not-noun.
Plain names, never ids
An internal acronym or an invented persona is copy-plain-words. Show a thing's display name, not its id. instagram_graph in a select is copy-display-names.
One line of description or none
Move any detail into a tooltip. Two lines under a setting is copy-one-line-description.
Status matches the moment
"Searched" while the search still runs is copy-state-tense.
No em dashes, no ellipses
Use a comma or a full stop where an em dash would go. That is copy-no-em-dash. Use no ellipsis except in a search placeholder. "Loading..." is copy-no-ellipsis.
The pair
Every check is a pair. The broken line sits beside the line that replaces it.
| Rule | Broken | Replacement |
|---|---|---|
copy-title-case | Add to library | Add to Library |
copy-fewest-words | Start Download on the download screen | Start |
copy-number-not-noun | 12 items | 12 |
copy-plain-words | PDP | Product Page |
copy-display-names | instagram_graph | Instagram |
copy-one-line-description | Two lines under a setting | One line, the rest in a tooltip |
copy-state-tense | Searched while running | Searching, then Searched |
copy-no-em-dash | Synced — 2 minutes ago | Synced 2 minutes ago |
copy-no-ellipsis | Loading... | Loading |
Reporting
Severity. HIGH is an id or internal jargon shown to the user, or a status that says the wrong thing. MEDIUM is a label in the wrong case, a two-line description or an em dash. LOW is a label one word longer than it needs.
Format. One finding per root cause:
file:line - [rule-id] what is wrong
Then a Rule | Count | Severity summary. Block when any HIGH remains, Approve otherwise. Never Approve a file you did not read. Mark every check you could not run as Not verified.
