user-flows-and-guided-paths

user-flows-and-guided-paths is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dembrandt/dembrandt-skills. It costs 70 tokens per session (1,140 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to designing related tasks as one clear journey, with steps that lead naturally from one to the next. It explains when to use a wizard, progress indicator, tooltip, resume prompt, or ordinary free navigation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for sign-up, checkout, onboarding, setup, configuration, and other multi-step tasks. It also helps design ways for users to resume unfinished work or discover features.
Why use it?
It reduces the effort of moving between disconnected screens and helps users understand where they are and what comes next. It also prevents forcing step-by-step navigation onto tasks that do not need it.

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

user-flows-and-guided-paths 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 13d 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 — 122 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

User Flows and Guided Paths

Related features that belong together should be experienced as a single coherent journey — not as separate screens the user has to navigate between manually. A well-designed flow feels inevitable: each step leads naturally to the next, the user always knows where they are and what comes next, and the path fits the product's information hierarchy.

When to Guide vs. When to Let Users Explore

Scenario Pattern
Linear process with a clear end goal (checkout, signup, setup) Guided step-by-step flow or wizard
Complex task that benefits from breaking into stages Wizard with progress indicator
Feature discovery across an existing product Contextual tooltips or coach marks
User returning to complete something they started Resume prompt with clear re-entry point
Open-ended exploration (dashboard, settings) Free navigation — do not force a flow

Only guide when the task genuinely has a natural order. Forcing a wizard onto a non-sequential task frustrates users who already know what they want.

The Wizard Pattern

Use a wizard when:

  • The task has 3 or more sequential steps
  • Later steps depend on decisions made in earlier steps
  • Doing all steps on one screen would overwhelm the user

Wizard anatomy

[Step indicator: 1 of 4]

Step title

  [Form content for this step]

[Back]  [Continue →]

Step indicator: Always show the user where they are in the sequence and how many steps remain. A progress bar or numbered steps both work — numbered steps are clearer when step names are meaningful.

Back navigation: Always available. Users must be able to go back and change earlier decisions without losing their progress on later steps.

Forward navigation: Disabled until the current step is complete. Validate on Continue, not on Submit at the end.

Exit path: Make it clear how to abandon the flow without losing partial progress. Autosave drafts where possible.

Step design principles

  • One primary decision or input group per step — don't overfill steps
  • Step titles should describe the user's goal, not the system's: "Your delivery address" not "Address input"
  • Optional steps should be clearly marked and skippable
  • The final step should show a summary before committing

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.
