Dewwrite — copy reviews, automated.

A Claude skill that reviews UI copy against Dew component guidelines, writes new copy following the rules, and recommends the right Dew component for a given scenario. Install it once, use it from any project.

Install

Runs in Claude Code. Fetches SKILL.md plus component and selection references into ~/.claude/skills.

Already installed? Skip ahead to the prompts below.

What it does3 modes

Three ways to ask.

Dewwrite recognizes intent from your prompt and switches modes automatically. Ask in natural language — no commands to memorize.

01 · Mode

Review copy

Paste existing UI copy with the component it appears in. Dewwrite checks it against the voice principles and every rule for that component, then rewrites it inline.

Ask

Review this button label against Dew guidelines: "Submit the form now"

02 · Mode

Write copy

Describe the scenario and pick a component — or let Dewwrite pick one. It writes copy that follows voice principles and component-specific rules.

Ask

Write a toast message for a successful file upload

03 · Mode

Pick a component

Describe what you're trying to communicate and Dewwrite walks a decision tree to recommend the right Dew component, with alternatives and reasoning.

Ask

Should this be a Toast or a Banner? Error when saving form

What it enforcesVoice principles

Rules, codified.

Dewwrite applies the Dew voice principles plus per-component content rules. For deeper analysis (weakeners, phonaesthetics, reading level), invoke the righter skill alongside it.

Voice and structure

  • Active voice, subject → verb → object
  • Present tense — what's happening now
  • Use contractions — sounds human
  • One idea per sentence

Casing and punctuation

  • Sentence case everywhere
  • No end punctuation on titles or labels
  • One exclamation per screen, max
  • No ALL CAPS except real acronyms

Clarity

  • Avoid jargon
  • Don't describe the interface
  • Frame around user goals, not the system
  • Lead with what the user needs now

Tone

  • Don't apologize unnecessarily
  • Don't blame the user
  • Specific verbs over generic ("Delete", not "OK")
  • Verb-led button labels

Where the rules come from.

Dewwrite enforces the UX writing guidelines and per-component content rules. Read them to understand what every review checks against.
