SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Users sign up for your product but never reach the moment where it delivers value, so they churn before forming a habit. This Skill diagnoses where new users drop off and designs onboarding flows, checklists, empty states, and re-engagement sequences that get them to their aha moment faster. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Activation Definition: Identifies the aha moment action that correlates with retention and builds metrics around it (activation rate, time to activation, funnel drop-off). - Flow & Checklist Design: Recommends product-first, guided setup, or value-first approaches, plus 3-7 item onboarding checklists, empty state design, and tooltip/tour best practices. - Stalled User Recovery: Provides detection criteria and re-engagement tactics across email, in-app, and human outreach, backed by a reference library of A/B experiment ideas. - Use Case: A project management tool where only 30% of trial users create a first project gets a full audit: friction points, a redesigned first-session flow, checklist items, empty state copy, and a measurement plan. ## Quick Start Audit our onboarding flow and recommend changes to get new users to their first key action faster.

Frequently Asked Questions about onboarding

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I improve user activation after signup?

Start by defining the aha moment action that correlates with retention, then remove every step between signup and that action. Use a 3-7 item onboarding checklist ordered by value, turn empty states into guided first actions, and measure activation rate and time to activation by cohort.

What should an onboarding checklist include?

Include 3-7 items covering the core activation actions, ordered from quickest win to highest commitment. Add a progress indicator, celebrate completions, and always allow dismissal so users never feel trapped by the checklist.

Should I use tooltips, a product tour, or a setup wizard for onboarding?

Tooltips suit contextual feature discovery, product tours suit guided walkthroughs of complex UI, and setup wizards suit products requiring configuration before value. Keep tours to 3-5 dismissable steps and test combinations rather than relying on one pattern.

How do I re-engage users who signed up but never came back?

Define stalled criteria such as days inactive or incomplete setup, then trigger behavior-based email sequences, in-app welcome-back experiences that resume progress, and personal outreach for high-value accounts. Also fix the root cause in the first-session experience.

When should I use a signup optimization skill instead of onboarding?

Use signup optimization when the problem is the registration form itself, such as too many fields causing drop-off before account creation. Onboarding covers everything after signup: first-run experience, activation, checklists, and retention.
