Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00093 | $0.04025 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00046 | $0.02013 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00805 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00402 |
Grade A, and why
onboarding-generator 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 7d 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 — 293 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Onboarding Generator
Generate onboarding whose job is to get a new user to the value moment — the first time they experience (never just read about) the outcome the app promises — as fast as their situation allows.
Default architecture: value-moment-first, branching on readiness. The user answers one question ("can you do this right now?"), and the path is either the shortest possible route to the value moment, or a captured plan to reach it later. Fallback architecture: the classic paged welcome carousel — generate it only when Step 0 below confirms the app is genuinely explain-first.
Read onboarding-patterns.md for the full philosophy, the nine implementation lessons (each with a code sketch), and a worked case study.
When This Skill Activates
Use this skill when the user:
- Asks to "add onboarding" or "create onboarding"
- Mentions "welcome screens" or "first launch"
- Wants to "show intro on first launch"
- Asks about "onboarding flow" or "tutorial screens"
- Wants to improve "activation," "time-to-value," or "trial conversion"
- Asks "why do users churn right after signup/purchase" (post-purchase first-run is half of this skill)
Before Anything Else: What Is The Value Moment?
This is the question that decides every downstream choice — ask it before any configuration question. If the requester can't answer it, help them find it: it's the first specific instant a user feels the outcome, not a feature list. "Sees a demo of X" is not a value moment; "actually did X and saw the result" is.
Onboarding that ends before the user felt the value moment didn't finish — it just stopped.
Pre-Generation Checks
1. Project Context Detection
- Check deployment target (
@Observableneeds iOS 17+/macOS 14+; fall back toObservableObjectbelow that) - Identify the app's core feature and its existing entry point — the value moment almost always lives inside a feature that already exists (or is being built alongside this flow); this skill wires into it, it does not rebuild it (see
onboarding-patterns.mdLesson 3) - Check whether the app has a launch paywall (
Glob: **/*Paywall*.swift, **/*StoreKit*.swift, or an installedgenerators/paywall-generatoroutput) — determines free-first vs paywalled-first in Configuration Question 2 - Check for
UNUserNotificationCenterusage already in the project — reuse the existing permission seam if one exists rather than creating a second

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.

onboarding-generator is a skill published in the GitHub repository rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills (713 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 93 tokens to every session and 4,025 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
