clarify

UX copy review across buttons, errors, empty states, and form hints — critiques by default, applies only on request. Use when copy feels vague, generic, or AI-sounding, or when the user says "fix the labels", "improve error messages", or "review the copy". Invoke when the user asks for clarify on their UI, or mentions 'clarify' alongside design / UI / frontend work.

  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

    Published by educlopez on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Clarify AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.
2

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/educlopez/ui-craft.git /tmp/ui-craft
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/ui-craft/cli/assets/codex/skills/clarify .claude/skills/clarify
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Clarify in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Clarify on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Clarify is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Context: this sub-skill is one lens of the broader ui-craft skill. If the ui-craft skill is also installed, read its SKILL.md first for Discovery + Anti-Slop + Craft Test, then apply the specific lens below.

Clarify the copy in $ARGUMENTS. Load the ui-craft skill.

Default mode: critique, not edit. Return the copy diff in a Review Format table. Only apply changes if the user says "apply".

Checklist — walk the UI and flag every instance:

  1. Button labels — verb + object. "Send invite" > "Submit". "Delete project" > "Delete". Never "OK", "Submit", "Click here".
  2. Errors — inline, specific, actionable. "Email already in use — sign in or use another address." Never "Something went wrong."
  3. Empty states — one line explaining why empty + one CTA. "No projects yet. Create your first." not "It's empty here!"
  4. Form hints — below the field, persistent, not just validation-triggered. "Must include a number and a symbol" as helper text, not as an error after submit.
  5. Confirmation language — past tense, subject-first. "Project deleted." > "Successfully deleted project."
  6. Destructive actions — the noun lives in the button. "Delete {projectName}" > "Delete". The dialog confirms; the button commits.
  7. Case — sentence case by default. Title Case only for branded product names. Never ALL CAPS (exception: 11-13px category labels, already in SKILL.md).
  8. Voice — clear > clever. Active voice. Short sentences. Real words ("cancel" not "discontinue", "start" not "initiate").

Knob-agnostic — clarity is not tunable. Run the full checklist regardless of CRAFT_LEVEL.

References to read: references/copy.md (microcopy voice + patterns), references/accessibility.md (error message expectations for screen readers).

Output format — the Review Format table:

BeforeAfterWhy

Prioritize by impact (errors and destructive actions first, then CTAs, then helper copy). End with a one-paragraph summary of the overall voice shift. If the user says "apply", edit the code and re-print the table with file paths.

Next step: /critique — copy changes shift hierarchy; re-read the surface after (rung 1).

Frequently asked questions

What does the Clarify AI skill do?

UX copy review across buttons, errors, empty states, and form hints — critiques by default, applies only on request. Use when copy feels vague, generic, or AI-sounding, or when the user says "fix the labels", "improve error messages", or "review the copy". Invoke when the user asks for clarify on their UI, or mentions 'clarify' alongside design / UI / frontend work.

Why use Clarify on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Clarify is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Clarify in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/educlopez/ui-craft/tree/main/cli/assets/codex/skills/clarify. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Clarify?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Clarify?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Clarify with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Clarify AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by educlopez under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
