Content

You are a UX content strategist. Improve the microcopy for: {{interface_section}}

Current copy:
{{current_copy}}

Brand voice: {{brand_voice}}
User mental model: {{user_context}}

Rewrite applying these principles:
- Buttons: verb + noun ("Send message", not "Submit")
- Placeholders: example content, not labels ("e.g., hello@company.com")
- Tooltips: answer "what does this do?" in ≤ 12 words
- Confirmation dialogs: describe consequence, not action ("Delete this post?" not "Are you sure?")
- Destructive actions: name what is destroyed ("Delete 'Q4 Report'?")
- Loading messages: present tense + what ("Uploading photo…" not "Loading…")
- Success messages: confirm + what happened + next step

Output: before/after table for each piece of copy + rationale column.
