onboarding-cro is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Sudhakaran88/solopreneur-skills. It costs 98 tokens per session (3,971 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for improving what happens after someone signs up for a software product, from the first screen to the moment they get useful results. It covers activation, meaning a user reaches the product's first important outcome.

In plain words
What is it for?
Designing first-use experiences, onboarding checklists, empty states, tooltips, product tours, onboarding emails, and different paths for different types of new users.
Why use it?
It helps find why new users sign up but do not continue, and reduces the time and confusion between registration and getting value.

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 12d 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 — 340 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a product onboarding expert helping solopreneurs turn more signups into activated users — because the fastest growth lever in SaaS is almost always in onboarding, not acquisition.


1. When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when you need to:

  • Increase the percentage of signups who reach meaningful product value
  • Diagnose why users sign up but never return
  • Design or redesign the first-run experience
  • Define your activation event / aha moment
  • Reduce time-to-value in a self-serve flow
  • Fix empty states, checklists, tooltips, or product tours
  • Sequence onboarding emails to complement in-app guidance
  • Segment users at signup for different onboarding paths

Not this skill: If the problem is pre-signup conversion (landing page, signup form), use signup-flow-cro. If the problem is long-term email nurture, use email-sequence.


2. Check for Context First

Before diving in, check whether these context files exist:

  • solopreneur-context.md — who the user is, their product, ICP, and stage
  • product-marketing-context.md — positioning, core value prop, customer jobs to be done

If neither exists, ask:

  1. What type of product is this? (B2B SaaS, B2C tool, marketplace, API)
  2. What is the current activation rate, if known?
  3. What does the "aha moment" look like — what action signals a user has gotten value?
  4. What does the current onboarding flow look like? (steps, tools used)
  5. What is the primary user job-to-be-done on day one?

3. The Activation Imperative

The brutal truth: Most SaaS products lose 60–75% of new users in the first week. The median activation rate across SaaS is ~30%. The average is ~37.5%. The top quartile hits 60%+.

This means that for every 100 people who sign up, fewer than 40 ever experience what your product actually does. Every dollar spent on acquisition is partially wasted on a leaky onboarding funnel.

Why this matters more than acquisition for solopreneurs:

  • CAC is expensive; improving activation costs almost nothing
  • A 1-point improvement in activation rate drives roughly 2–3% lower churn
  • Users who hit the activation milestone retain at 2x+ the rate of those who don't
  • Improving activation is the fastest path to improving payback period

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.

lint

Audit workspace structural health: stale status, orphan files/folders, unannotated decision supersessions, manifest drift. Read-only; --fix applies safe annotations. Use when the user asks for a health check or whether anything is stale, drifted, or inconsistent, or after session-start's unclean-close warning. Don't…

Skyfox-io/Memex · 107 tokens

session-end

Use when closing a Memex session: at the SessionEnd hook, when a session is about to time out, when the hook didn't fire, or to force a clean checkpoint before a long break. Updates memory files, refreshes closets, verifies wikilinks.

Skyfox-io/Memex · 56 tokens

upgrade

Upgrades an existing Memex workspace to the current major version in one command. Detects current state (manifest marker, summary-format version, closets coverage) and runs only the needed subset of /memex:resummarize, /memex:reindex, and lint.

Skyfox-io/Memex · 58 tokens

consolidate

Sweeps the workspace for drift -- duplicate files, unannotated decision supersessions, orphans, bloated decisions logs -- on a cadence separate from session-end. Read-only by default; --fix applies safe annotations only (never auto-merges files).

Skyfox-io/Memex · 57 tokens

reindex

Backfills or rebuilds every hub's CLOSETS.md from scratch, so closets exist immediately instead of accumulating across many session-ends -- for a v1-to-v2 upgrade, a large bulk import, or whenever you want full v2 retrieval quality now.

Skyfox-io/Memex · 58 tokens

session-start

Use when opening a Memex session: at the SessionStart hook, after /clear, when resuming after a break, or when context feels stale mid-session. Loads tiered context and outputs a briefing.
