When to Activate
适用场景
Product UI projects after screens are designed. Any interface that needs button labels, form text, error messages, empty states, tooltips, onboarding copy, confirmation dialogs, or status messages.
屏幕设计完成后的产品UI项目,任何需要按钮标签、表单文案、错误提示、空状态、tooltip、引导文案、确认对话框或状态提示的界面。
Button Labels
按钮标签
Buttons are decisions. The label tells users exactly what happens next.
Pattern: Verb + object. "Create project," "Send invite," "Export PDF."
Destructive actions: Explicit and name the object. "Delete project" not "Remove."
Max: 3 words for primary buttons.
Secondary: Softer tone. "Cancel," "Skip," "Maybe later."
Bad: "Submit," "OK," "Yes," "Continue," "Click here." These tell the user nothing.
按钮代表用户的决策,标签要明确告知用户点击后会发生什么。
规则:动词 + 宾语。比如「创建项目」、「发送邀请」、「导出PDF」。
破坏性操作:表述要清晰,明确点明操作对象。用「删除项目」而非「移除」。
长度限制:主按钮最多3个词。
次按钮:语气更柔和,比如「取消」、「跳过」、「稍后再说」。
反面案例:「提交」、「确定」、「是」、「继续」、「点击这里」。这类文案无法给用户提供有效信息。
Error Messages
错误提示
Errors are anxiety moments. Your copy reduces stress.
Structure: What happened + why + how to fix it. Always include a next step.
Good: "Couldn't save your changes. Check your connection and try again."
Good: "File must be under 10MB. Compress the image or choose a smaller file."
Bad: "Error 500: Internal Server Error."
Bad: "Something went wrong." (no next step)
Never blame the user. "That password doesn't match" not "You entered the wrong password." No technical jargon: "We couldn't reach the server" not "ECONNREFUSED."
出现错误时用户会感到焦虑,你的文案要帮助用户缓解压力。
结构:发生了什么 + 原因 + 如何修复。必须包含后续操作指引。
正面案例:「无法保存你的修改,请检查网络连接后重试。」
正面案例:「文件大小不能超过10MB,请压缩图片或选择更小的文件。」
反面案例:「错误 500: Internal Server Error。」
反面案例:「出现了一些问题。」(无后续操作指引)
永远不要指责用户:用「密码不匹配」而非「你输入的密码有误」。不要使用技术术语:用「我们无法连接到服务器」而非「ECONNREFUSED」。
Empty States
空状态
Empty states are onboarding opportunities. Turn "nothing here" into "here's how to start."
Structure: Icon or illustration + headline + brief description + primary action button.
Good: "No projects yet. Create your first project to start designing." + [Create project]
Bad: "No data available." (dead end)
Frame positively: "Your inbox is all caught up" not "No messages." Always include a CTA.
空状态是引导用户的好机会,把「这里没有内容」转化为「你可以这样开始」。
结构:图标或插画 + 标题 + 简短描述 + 主操作按钮。
正面案例:「还没有创建项目,创建你的第一个项目开始设计吧。」 + [创建项目]
反面案例:「暂无可用数据。」(没有后续指引)
表述要积极:用「你的收件箱已全部处理完毕」而非「没有消息」。必须包含CTA。
Tooltips
Tooltips
One sentence maximum. Explain what it does, not what it is. Show on hover, not on load. Don't tooltip obvious things.
Good: "Duplicate this artboard and all its layers."
Bad: "The duplicate button."
最多一句话,解释功能作用而非是什么,hover时展示,不要页面加载就展示,明显的功能不需要加tooltip。
正面案例:「复制此画板及其所有图层。」
反面案例:「复制按钮。」
Onboarding Copy
引导文案
Progressive disclosure: show only what's needed now. Point at the thing: "Click the + button to add a layer." Celebrate first success: "Nice, you created your first artboard." Always let users skip. Step indicators: "Step 2 of 4."
渐进式信息披露:只展示当前需要的内容,指向具体操作对象:「点击+按钮添加图层。」庆祝用户的首次成功操作:「太棒了,你创建了第一个画板。」始终允许用户跳过引导,添加步骤提示:「第2步,共4步。」
Confirmation Dialogs
确认对话框
For irreversible actions only. Don't overuse.
Title: The action being confirmed. "Delete 'Marketing Site'?"
Body: Consequences. "This will permanently remove the project and all its artboards. This can't be undone."
Primary button: The action verb, not "Yes." [Delete project]
Destructive button: Red. Cancel on left, destructive on right.
仅用于不可逆操作,不要过度使用。
标题:需要确认的操作。「删除'营销站点'?」
正文:操作后果。「此操作将永久删除该项目及其所有画板,无法撤销。」
主按钮:使用动作动词,不要用「是」。[删除项目]
破坏性操作按钮:用红色样式,取消按钮在左侧,破坏性操作按钮在右侧。

Writing Rules
写作规则
- Max 2 sentences per UI surface. If you need more, the UI design needs work.
- Sentence case everywhere. "Save changes" not "Save Changes."
- No periods on single sentences. No exclamation marks except celebrations.
- Use contractions: "can't," "won't," "you'll." Warmer and shorter.
- Active voice: "We saved your project" not "Your project has been saved."
- Address the user as "you." Refer to the product as "we" sparingly.
- 每个UI界面的文案最多2句话,如果需要更多,说明UI设计需要优化。
- 全文使用句首大写格式,「Save changes」而非「Save Changes」。
- 单句结尾不要加句号,除了庆祝场景不要使用感叹号。
- 使用缩略形式:「can't」、「won't」、「you'll」,更亲切简短。
- 使用主动语态:「我们已保存你的项目」而非「你的项目已被保存」。
- 称呼用户用「你」,尽量少用「我们」指代产品。
