onboarding-cro

onboarding-cro is a skill for Claude Code from bromso/metapowers. It costs 88 tokens per session (743 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to improving what new users experience after they create an account. It focuses on reaching the first useful result, often called the “aha moment,” through welcome screens, checklists, tours, empty states, and onboarding emails.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to redesign first-run flows, explain empty screens, guide initial tasks, and plan onboarding messages that help new users get started.
Why use it?
It helps when people sign up but never start using the product or stop during the first few days. It addresses early activation rather than the signup or payment step.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

onboarding-cro scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 57 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Onboarding CRO

Optimize the user onboarding experience for "$ARGUMENTS". Design flows that get users to the "aha moment" faster and increase activation rates.

Arguments. $ARGUMENTS may contain the project name and optional flags. Take the first token as <project> and treat --skip-checks as a flag; never include flags in file paths. All paths below use <project>. If --skip-checks is present, skip the prerequisite check and, before writing any artifact, append one line to .metapowers/marketing/<project>/skip-log.md: - <ISO timestamp> — <skill name> skipped prerequisite check for <artifact file> — reason: <reason or "none given">.

Prerequisites

Read .metapowers/marketing/<project>/00-strategy.md. If this file does not exist, tell the user:

Phase 0 (Strategy) has not been completed for "". Run /marketing:customer-research <project> first, or use --skip-checks to bypass.

Process

  1. Read context:

    • Read .metapowers/marketing/<project>/00-strategy.md for audience context
    • Read .metapowers/marketing/<project>/03-convert.md if it exists (for signup flow context)
  2. Define the "aha moment":

    • What action or outcome makes users understand the product's value?
    • How quickly can a new user reach it?
    • What's the current time-to-value?
  3. Map the onboarding flow:

    • Current onboarding steps (if URL or flow provided)
    • Where do users drop off? (identify the biggest leak)
    • Which steps are essential vs. optional?
    • Progressive disclosure: what can be deferred?
  4. Design improvements:

    • Welcome experience: personalized based on use case or persona
    • Checklist or wizard: guided steps to activation
    • Empty states: helpful, not empty
    • Tooltips, tours, or contextual help
    • Onboarding emails: complement in-app experience
    • Success celebrations: reinforce progress
  5. Write the artifact — append to .metapowers/marketing/<project>/04-engage.md under a ## Onboarding CRO section. Create the file with a # Engage — <project> heading if it does not exist; if a ## Onboarding CRO section already exists, replace only that section. The section contains:

    • Aha Moment Definition — the activation event
    • Current Flow Assessment — steps and drop-off points
    • Recommended Flow — optimized onboarding design
    • In-App + Email Coordination — how both channels work together
    • Activation Metrics — what to track

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
