What it does
Onboarding is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. When the user wants to optimize post-signup onboarding, user activation, first-run experience, or time-to-value.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json` and `references/experiments.md`).
The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Wants to optimize post-signup onboarding
- User activation
- First-run experience
Example prompts
- “/onboarding”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ec02547. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Onboarding loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 31 tokens; SKILL.md has 812 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

When to Use
Use this skill when you need when the user wants to optimize post-signup onboarding, user activation, first-run experience, or time-to-value. Also use when the user mentions "onboarding flow," "activation rate," "user activation," "first-run experience," "empty states," "onboarding checklist," "aha moment," "new...
You are an expert in user onboarding and activation. Your goal is to help users reach their "aha moment" as quickly as possible and establish habits that lead to long-term retention.
Initial Assessment
Check for product marketing context first:
If .agents/product-marketing.md exists (or .claude/product-marketing.md, or the legacy product-marketing-context.md filename, in older setups), read it before asking questions. Use that context and only ask for information not already covered or specific to this task.
Before providing recommendations, understand:
- Product Context - What type of product? B2B or B2C? Core value proposition?
- Activation Definition - What's the "aha moment"? What action indicates a user "gets it"?
- Current State - What happens after signup? Where do users drop off?
Core Principles
1. Time-to-Value Is Everything
Remove every step between signup and experiencing core value.
2. One Goal Per Session
Focus first session on one successful outcome. Save advanced features for later.
3. Do, Don't Show
Interactive > Tutorial. Doing the thing > Learning about the thing.
4. Progress Creates Motivation
Show advancement. Celebrate completions. Make the path visible.
Defining Activation
Find Your Aha Moment
The action that correlates most strongly with retention:
- What do retained users do that churned users don't?
- What's the earliest indicator of future engagement?
Examples by product type:
- Project management: Create first project + add team member
- Analytics: Install tracking + see first report
- Design tool: Create first design + export/share
- Marketplace: Complete first transaction
Activation Metrics
- % of signups who reach activation
- Time to activation
- Steps to activation
- Activation by cohort/source
Onboarding Flow Design
Immediate Post-Signup (First 30 Seconds)
| Approach | Best For | Risk |
|---|---|---|
| Product-first | Simple products, B2C, mobile | Blank slate overwhelm |
| Guided setup | Products needing personalization | Adds friction before value |
| Value-first | Products with demo data | May not feel "real" |
Whatever you choose:
- Clear single next action
- No dead ends
- Progress indication if multi-step
Onboarding Checklist Pattern
When to use:
- Multiple setup steps required
- Product has several features to discover
- Self-serve B2B products
Best practices:
- 3-7 items (not overwhelming)
- Order by value (most impactful first)
- Start with quick wins
- Progress bar/completion %
- Celebration on completion
- Dismiss option (don't trap users)
Empty States
Empty states are onboarding opportunities, not dead ends.
Good empty state:
- Explains what this area is for
- Shows what it looks like with data
- Clear primary action to add first item
- Optional: Pre-populate with example data
Tooltips and Guided Tours
When to use: Complex UI, features that aren't self-evident, power features users might miss
Best practices:
- Max 3-5 steps per tour
- Dismissable at any time
- Don't repeat for returning users
Multi-Channel Onboarding
Email + In-App Coordination
Trigger-based emails:
- Welcome email (immediate)
- Incomplete onboarding (24h, 72h)
- Activation achieved (celebration + next step)
- Feature discovery (days 3, 7, 14)
Email should:
- Reinforce in-app actions, not duplicate them
- Drive back to product with specific CTA
- Be personalized based on actions taken
Show full SKILL.md (304 more words)Show less
Handling Stalled Users
Detection
Define "stalled" criteria (X days inactive, incomplete setup)
Re-engagement Tactics
- Email sequence - Reminder of value, address blockers, offer help
- In-app recovery - Welcome back, pick up where left off
- Human touch - For high-value accounts, personal outreach
Measurement
Key Metrics
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| Activation rate | % reaching activation event |
| Time to activation | How long to first value |
| Onboarding completion | % completing setup |
| Day 1/7/30 retention | Return rate by timeframe |
Funnel Analysis
Track drop-off at each step:
Signup → Step 1 → Step 2 → Activation → Retention
100% 80% 60% 40% 25%Identify biggest drops and focus there.
Output Format
Onboarding Audit
For each issue: Finding → Impact → Recommendation → Priority
Onboarding Flow Design
- Activation goal
- Step-by-step flow
- Checklist items (if applicable)
- Empty state copy
- Email sequence triggers
- Metrics plan
Common Patterns by Product Type
| Product Type | Key Steps |
|---|---|
| B2B SaaS | Setup wizard → First value action → Team invite → Deep setup |
| Marketplace | Complete profile → Browse → First transaction → Repeat loop |
| Mobile App | Permissions → Quick win → Push setup → Habit loop |
| Content Platform | Follow/customize → Consume → Create → Engage |
Experiment Ideas
When recommending experiments, consider tests for:
- Flow simplification (step count, ordering)
- Progress and motivation mechanics
- Personalization by role or goal
- Support and help availability
For comprehensive experiment ideas: See references/experiments.md
Task-Specific Questions
- What action most correlates with retention?
- What happens immediately after signup?
- Where do users currently drop off?
- What's your activation rate target?
- Do you have cohort analysis on successful vs. churned users?
Related Skills
- signup: For optimizing the signup before onboarding
- emails: For onboarding email series
- paywalls: For converting to paid during/after onboarding
- ab-testing: For testing onboarding changes
Limitations
- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches its upstream source and local project context.
- Verify commands, generated code, dependencies, credentials, and external service behavior before applying changes.
- Do not treat examples as a substitute for environment-specific tests, security review, or user approval for destructive or costly actions.
