developer-signup-flow

developer-signup-flow is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jonathimer/devmarketing-skills. It costs 54 tokens per session (2,590 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for designing signup flows for developers, including GitHub sign-in, API-key creation, and tailored onboarding. OAuth is a way to let users sign in through an existing account such as GitHub without creating another password.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan GitHub OAuth, API-key onboarding, progressive collection of user details, signup conversion measurement, and developer-focused registration experiences.
Why use it?
It helps remove unnecessary forms and clicks between a developer deciding to try a tool and writing code. It also accounts for differences between individual hobbyists and developers evaluating a tool for a company.

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

developer-signup-flow 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 5d 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.

Developer Signup Flow

Create signup experiences that respect developers' time and get them to code as fast as possible.

Overview

Developer signup is your first chance to demonstrate that you understand developers. Every unnecessary form field, every extra click, every "verify your email before continuing" is a message that you don't value their time. The best developer signups feel like they barely exist—developers go from "I want to try this" to "I'm writing code" in under 60 seconds.

This skill covers OAuth integration, API key generation UX, progressive profiling, and measuring what actually matters in signup conversion.

Before You Start

Review the /devmarketing-skills/skills/developer-audience-context skill to understand your target developer segments. Signup optimization varies significantly based on whether you're targeting hobbyists exploring on weekends versus enterprise developers evaluating tools for their company.

OAuth Options That Work

The GitHub-First Approach

For developer tools, GitHub OAuth should be your primary option. Here's why:

  1. Identity verification built-in - Active GitHub accounts have commit history, repos, and social proof
  2. Scope familiarity - Developers understand GitHub's permission model
  3. Profile data - You get username, email, and can infer experience level from public activity
  4. Trust signal - GitHub is where developers already live

Good implementation (Vercel):

  • Single "Continue with GitHub" button dominates the page
  • Email option available but secondary
  • No password creation required
  • Immediate redirect to dashboard after OAuth

Bad implementation:

  • GitHub, Google, Twitter, LinkedIn, Email, and "Sign up with phone" all given equal prominence
  • Requires email verification even after GitHub OAuth
  • Asks for additional profile information before showing dashboard

OAuth Option Hierarchy

Prioritize based on your audience:

Audience Primary Secondary Avoid
Open source developers GitHub Email Google Workspace
Startup developers GitHub Google Enterprise SSO
Enterprise developers SSO/SAML Google Workspace Social logins
Data scientists GitHub Google Twitter
Mobile developers Google GitHub Facebook

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.
