What problem does it solve?
Product teams often suffer from drop-off because onboarding flows, empty states, and first-run guidance overload users or feel unnecessary, so new customers never reach the aha moment and activation falters. This Skill refocuses onboarding on the minimal, contextual learning that unlocks product value quickly while keeping advanced features discoverable later.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Assess Onboarding Needs: Invoke /frontend-design and, if no context exists, /teach-impeccable before gathering the user challenge, desired aha moment, experience level, motivation, and time commitment to tailor the first-run experience.
- Principles & Empty-State Messaging: Follow show-don't-tell storytelling, make onboarding optional, prioritize time-to-value, respect user intelligence, and turn empty states into invitations with clear value statements, CTAs, and optional templated starts.
- Implementation Patterns & Validation: Recommend targeted tooltips, progressive disclosures, guided tours, interactive tutorials, or contextual help, and describe how to measure success via completion rate, skip rate, and time-to-value metrics.
