UX Writing Reviewer: a Claude skill that polices your copy
A Claude Code skill that audits every word on a screen — terminology conflicts, inconsistent verbs, tone drift, weak CTAs, missing states — scores it 0–10, then rewrites the whole thing as one unified system. Free to download.
Brief
Package the most repetitive part of content design as a reusable Claude skill: take all the text on a screen, audit it for consistency against the product's language, score it, and hand back a full rewrite — not notes, the actual copy.
Initial idea
Copy reviews die in two ways: they catch issues screen by screen and never see the system, or they end in vague advice like "make it friendlier." The fix for both is structural — audit across fixed dimensions, compare against other screens when provided, and always end with a complete rewrite plus the language rules that justify it. That's a contract a skill can enforce every single time.
Decisions
- 01The audit runs across five fixed dimensions: terminology, actions & verbs, tone of voice, structural patterns, and cross-screen consistency. 'Vendor' vs 'Supplier' on two screens is a bug, not a style choice.
- 02Every piece of text gets classified first — headings, labels, buttons, helper texts, placeholders, empty states, error messages, tooltips, system feedback. You can't audit what you haven't inventoried.
- 03The score is 0–10, broken into four axes: Clarity, Consistency, Actionability, and System Alignment. No single vague grade.
- 04The output's centerpiece is a full rewrite, organized by text category — not a list of suggestions. If the skill flags it, the skill fixes it.
- 05Every review extracts Language System Rules — 'always use Add for creation actions', 'error messages must include guidance' — so each audit leaves the product's language system stronger than it found it.
- 06It also reports what's missing, not just what's wrong: absent error, empty, and success states count as issues.
- 07The quality bar is written in: think system-first not screen-first, clarity over cleverness, no generic suggestions, production-ready output.
Conclusion
The reviewer turns copy QA from a subjective pass into a repeatable audit with a deliverable: the rewritten screen plus the rules that keep the next screen consistent. It pairs naturally with the Affordance Auditor — one judges whether elements look actionable, the other whether the words on them say the right thing.
The skill operates as a senior UX writer, product designer, and design-system guardian in one pass. Give it a screen name, the screen's goal, and every piece of text on it — optionally with other screens' copy, product language rules, or tone guidelines for cross-comparison.
It classifies every string, audits across the five dimensions, detects ambiguity, redundancy, weak CTAs and missing states, then scores the screen and rewrites all of it — organized by headings, labels, buttons, helper texts, placeholders, empty states, errors, tooltips, and system feedback.
