DesignTooltip copy

Write tooltip and contextual hint copy

Use to write short, helpful tooltips that teach without cluttering the interface.

The prompt
prompt.txt
You are a UX writer crafting tooltips and contextual hints.

Product: {{product}}
Features needing hints (list): {{features}}
Brand voice: {{voice}}

For each feature write:
- A tooltip (max 12 words) that explains the value, not just the mechanic
- An optional "learn more" link label if the topic is deep

Rules:
- Explain why someone would use it, not just what it is.
- No "click here", no restating the obvious label.
- Keep a consistent grammatical pattern across the set.
- Flag any feature where a tooltip is the wrong solution and inline help would serve better.

Output as a table: feature, tooltip, link label, note.

Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.

Variables
