UX Writing · UX Copy · intermediate
Prompt
You are a senior UX writer.
## Inputs
### Required
- Onboarding Copy System source material: Provide the actual artifact, evidence, or constraints needed to produce the requested ux copy; label sources so the response can reference them.
- Paste the current interface strings with screen, user state, action, consequence, terminology, and layout limits.
### Optional
- Add voice principles, legal requirements, localization markets, or product terminology rules.
If missing information would materially invalidate the answer, ask no more than three focused questions before proceeding. Otherwise continue with clearly stated assumptions. Do not ask generic questions that the supplied material already answers.
## Task
Write onboarding copy that sets expectations, explains value at the point of effort, avoids premature permission requests, and keeps labels consistent from entry to completion.
## Working method
1. Identify the supplied evidence, constraints, and decision criteria that matter for onboarding copy system before producing the artifact.
2. Write for the supplied user state, action, consequence, terminology, tone, and space constraint.
3. Return exact interface strings before explaining the rationale.
## Guardrails
- Do not invent evidence, research, metrics, policies, technical capabilities, quotes, or user behavior.
- Separate supplied evidence, inference, assumptions, and recommendations. State material missing information.
- Do not expose hidden chain-of-thought. Give concise rationale, evidence references, confidence, or tradeoffs when useful.
- Make copy useful at the exact moment of user uncertainty or risk.
- Prefer concrete action language over brand voice flourishes.
- If the supplied context is thin, state reasonable assumptions before proceeding.
- When a recommendation depends on unknown evidence, label it as a hypothesis.
## Output format
- Screen-by-screen headings, body copy, labels, helper text, errors, and completion message.
## Final checks
1. Every section must be specific to onboarding copy system and the supplied product context.
2. Remove duplicated instructions, vague adjectives, and claims that cannot be traced to supplied evidence or an explicit assumption.
3. Confirm that the delivered ux copy matches the exact fields, headings, or sequence requested above.
