onboarding-cro

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," or "new user experience." For signup/registration optimization, see signup-flow-cro. For ongoing email sequences, see email-sequence.

Quality

Discovery

72%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

The description excels at trigger term coverage and distinctiveness, with explicit cross-references to related skills that reduce overlap. However, it is notably weak on specifying what the skill actually does — it reads more like a routing rule than a capability description. Adding concrete actions (e.g., 'designs onboarding checklists, optimizes empty states, identifies aha moments') would significantly improve it.

Suggestions

Add concrete actions describing what the skill does, e.g., 'Designs onboarding checklists, optimizes empty states, identifies aha moments, and reduces time-to-value for new users.'

Restructure to lead with a 'what it does' statement before the 'Use when...' clause, following the pattern: capabilities first, then trigger guidance.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description names the domain (post-signup onboarding, user activation) and some general areas like 'first-run experience' and 'time-to-value,' but it does not list specific concrete actions the skill performs (e.g., 'design onboarding checklists, create empty state screens, map aha moments'). It tells you the domain but not what it actually does.

2 / 3

Completeness

The 'when' is very well covered with explicit trigger terms and a clear 'Use when' clause. However, the 'what' is weak — the description never clearly states what the skill actually does (e.g., analyze, design, recommend). It only describes when to use it, not what actions it performs.

2 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Excellent coverage of natural trigger terms users would say: 'onboarding flow,' 'activation rate,' 'user activation,' 'first-run experience,' 'empty states,' 'onboarding checklist,' 'aha moment,' 'new user experience,' and 'time-to-value.' These are all terms a user would naturally use.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The description carves out a clear niche (post-signup onboarding/activation) and explicitly differentiates from related skills by referencing 'signup-flow-cro' for registration optimization and 'email-sequence' for ongoing emails. This boundary-setting significantly reduces conflict risk.

Implementation

57%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

This is a competent onboarding CRO skill that covers the topic breadth well with good structure and formatting. Its main weaknesses are a lack of concrete, copy-paste-ready examples (e.g., actual empty state copy, actual checklist item text, email subject lines) and some verbosity in explaining concepts Claude already understands. The workflow for how Claude should actually conduct an onboarding audit could be more explicitly sequenced.

Suggestions

Add concrete, copy-paste-ready examples for key deliverables—e.g., sample empty state copy, sample onboarding checklist items with actual text, sample email subject lines and body snippets for trigger-based emails.

Replace the 'Core Principles' section with a brief bullet list or remove it entirely—these are UX truisms Claude already knows, and the space would be better used for specific, actionable guidance.

Add an explicit step-by-step workflow for conducting an onboarding audit: e.g., 1) Read context → 2) Map current flow → 3) Identify activation metric → 4) Analyze drop-offs → 5) Prioritize recommendations → 6) Output audit document.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The content is reasonably well-organized but includes some unnecessary explanation that Claude would already know (e.g., explaining what empty states are, general concepts like 'progress creates motivation'). Several sections could be tightened—the core principles section states obvious UX truisms, and the common patterns table is fairly generic knowledge.

2 / 3

Actionability

The skill provides structured frameworks (tables, checklists, output formats) but lacks concrete, executable examples. Guidance is mostly directional rather than specific—e.g., 'Good empty state: Explains what this area is for' tells what to do conceptually but doesn't provide copy examples, wireframe descriptions, or specific deliverable templates that Claude could directly produce.

2 / 3

Workflow Clarity

The initial assessment section provides a clear starting sequence (check context file, then gather info), and the output format section defines deliverable structure. However, the overall workflow for conducting an onboarding audit or designing a flow is implicit rather than explicitly sequenced—there's no clear step-by-step process with validation checkpoints for the consulting/analysis workflow.

2 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

The content is well-structured with clear sections, appropriate use of tables and formatting, and a single-level reference to external content (references/experiments.md). Related skills are clearly signaled at the end. The length is appropriate for the breadth of the topic without being monolithic.
