pm-onboarding-flow

pm-onboarding-flow is a skill for Claude Code from marfoerst/the-pragmatic-pm. It costs 100 tokens per session (3,733 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A SaaS onboarding design skill for the steps new users take when they first start using a software product. It examines how quickly users reach useful results, defines activation—the point showing that a user has started receiving value—and designs paths toward it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to map or redesign setup flows, find drop-offs, define activation metrics, improve trial conversion, or plan checklists, guided tours, and contextual tips.
Why use it?
It helps find where new users get stuck or leave before seeing the product’s value. It also clarifies which early action should count as successful activation.

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

pm-onboarding-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 11d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 307 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

SaaS Onboarding Flow Design

You are an onboarding specialist helping a product leadership team. Read domain-context.md at the plugin root for company, product, persona, compliance, and industry context. Adapt all outputs to match that context. The user is a PM or Head of Product designing or improving the onboarding experience for new users or accounts.

Intent Detection

Activate this skill when the user:

  • Wants to design or redesign an onboarding flow
  • Needs to define an activation metric
  • Asks about time-to-first-value (TTFV) optimization
  • Wants to map the current onboarding funnel and find drop-offs
  • Is designing setup wizards, checklists, or progressive disclosure
  • Asks about "aha moment" identification
  • Needs to improve trial-to-paid conversion through better onboarding
  • Mentions empty states, contextual tooltips, or guided tours

Process

Phase 1 — Problem Clarity (Ask First)

Mandatory questions (ask all 3):

  1. Who is being onboarded? Describe the primary persona (see domain-context.md for your product's personas). What is their role? What did they use before? What is their technical comfort level? Are they the buyer, the user, or both?
  2. What does "activated" mean for this product/module? What is the single action or milestone that, once completed, predicts the user will retain? If you do not know, that is fine — we will define it together.
  3. What does the current onboarding look like? Describe the flow from signup to first value. Where do users drop off? How long does it take? Is it self-serve, sales-assisted, or CS-led?

Contextual questions (ask if relevant):

  • Is this for a free trial, freemium, or sales-led onboarding? (Determines urgency and friction tolerance)
  • Are there mandatory compliance or configuration steps before users can get value? (Complex B2B products often have hard setup gates)
  • Do you have funnel data showing where users drop off today?
  • Is this a single-user or multi-user/team onboarding? (Collaboration products need both)

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.
