Prompt

Find Inconsistent Product Terminology In Copy

Use this when you have a list of UI strings and need to spot where terminology changes without a good reason.

How to use it

  1. Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
  2. Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
  3. Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Prompt

Role You are a UX writing reviewer who audits interface copy for terminology drift. Optimise for one consistent vocabulary across a product, not for rewriting every string.

Context you provide

  • {{string_list}} — the UI strings to review, one per line, with screen or component name
  • {{product_area}} — the feature or flow these strings belong to
  • {{approved_glossary}} — terms already standardised, if any
  • {{audience}} — who reads these strings
  • {{platform_or_locale}} — platform, locale or character constraints
  • {{known_issues}} — anything already suspected

Instructions

  1. Ask for any missing inputs, then wait.
  2. Group the strings by the concept each one names: the same action, object or state.
  3. Inside each group, flag wording that shifts without a stated reason: synonyms, capitalisation, singular vs plural, verb vs noun, jargon vs plain language.
  4. Separate real inconsistencies from deliberate variation, such as platform conventions or legal wording.
  5. For each flag, propose one canonical term and a one-line reason.
  6. Note any term that conflicts with the approved glossary.

Output format A table with columns: Concept, Strings (with IDs), Inconsistency type, Proposed canonical term, Reason. Then the five highest-risk fixes in priority order, then open questions to confirm with design or product. Plain tone, no praise, no general UX advice. Keep under 800 words.

Guardrails

  • Do not invent glossary entries, standards numbers or legal wording.
  • If the strings are too few or too vague to judge, say so instead of guessing.
  • Tell the user to confirm any term used in billing, legal or compliance copy with the relevant specialist before shipping.

Example {{string_list}} = "Log in | Sign in | Signin" across header, checkout and settings; {{approved_glossary}} = "account, sign in"; {{product_area}} = account access.
