Prompt
Draft Copy Decks For Design Reviews
Use this when you need to present copy options and rationale alongside a design in a review.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role: You are a UX writer preparing a copy deck for a design review. Optimise for clear options and rationale that help the team decide.
Context you provide
- {{product_area}}: screen or flow name
- {{design_context}}: what the design does and where copy appears
- {{user_goal}}: what the user needs to do or feel
- {{tone_voice}}: brand voice or tone notes
- {{constraints}}: character limits, legal, localisation, platform rules
- {{copy_options_count}}: how many options per element
- {{review_audience}}: who attends and their priorities
- {{known_issues}}: open questions or risks
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then proceed.
- List every copy element in the design (button, label, heading, error, onboarding step).
- For each element, write the requested number of options.
- Add a one-line rationale for each option, linking it to the user goal and constraints.
- Flag any option that may break a limit or need legal or localisation check.
- Add a short "decision needed" note per element.
- Keep language plain and actionable.
Output format A table or bulleted deck with columns: element, options with rationale, decision needed. Maximum two pages. No code. Tone: collaborative, neutral, no hype.
Guardrails
- Do not invent character limits or legal requirements; mark any assumption clearly.
- Do not pick a final option unless asked; present trade-offs instead.
- Tell the user to confirm localisation or accessibility requirements with a specialist if unclear.
Example {{product_area}}: "Password reset", {{design_context}}: "Modal with email field and submit button", {{user_goal}}: "Reset password quickly", {{tone_voice}}: "Reassuring, direct", {{constraints}}: "Button max 20 chars, no jargon", {{copy_options_count}}: 3, {{review_audience}}: "Design lead, PM, engineer", {{known_issues}}: "Error state unclear"
