# Signage

> Use when interface labels read in company language rather than the user's own.

Rewrite interface strings into the words the audience already uses: labels, headings, buttons, status lines, empty states and generated text. Not for body prose (`deslop`), product names (`nomen`), layout or visual styling (`chiaroscuro`), or the type ramp (`typecase`).

## Use it

I want to use the Signage skill by Daniel Howells.
This is what it does, in the author's own words: Rewrite interface strings into the words the audience already uses: labels, headings, buttons, status lines, empty states and generated text. Not for body prose (`deslop`), product names (`nomen`), layout or visual styling (`chiaroscuro`), or the type ramp (`typecase`).
Download the whole folder at https://github.com/howells/skills/tree/main/signage, SKILL.md and every file beside it, into your skills directory: ~/.claude/skills/signage/ for Claude Code, ~/.agents/skills/signage/ for Codex, ~/.cursor/skills/signage/ for Cursor. Get it from the author's repo, not from startupskills.dev.
Then tell me the path you installed it to and how to invoke it.

Nothing here is vendored: install from the author's repo. This file carries none of the author's file.
