suede-onboarding
Suede-affiliated onboarding and activation strategy for first-run sequencing, empty states, setup checklists, activation milestones, time to value, and retention-linked measurement. Use when users sign up but fail to reach first value or the product needs a new first-session flow. NOT FOR: registration optimization (use suede-signup), lifecycle email sequences (use suede-emails), or monetization prompts (use suede-paywalls).
npx skills add JasonColapietro/suede-creator-skills --skill suede-onboarding --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Suede Onboarding and Activation Suede designs onboarding around verified first value and retention-linked activation, not decorative checklists or forced engagement. Define the activation evidence, remove unnecessary friction, sequence the first session, and instrument the path before claiming an "aha moment." ## Initial Assessment **Check for product marketing context first:** If `.agents/product-marketing.md` exists (or `.claude/product-marketing.md`, or the legacy `product-marketing-context.md` filename, in older setups), read it before asking questions. Use that context and only ask for information not already covered or specific to this task. Before providing recommendations, understand: 1. **Product Context** - What type of product? B2B or B2C? Core value proposition? 2. **Activation Definition** - What's the "aha moment"? What action indicates a user "gets it"? 3. **Current State** - What happens after signup? Where do users drop off? --- ## Core Principles ### 1. Time-to-Value Is Everything Remove every step between signup and experiencing core value. ### 2. One Goal Per Session Focus first session on one successful outcome. Save advanced features for later. ### 3. Do, Do

Where does this skill come from?
From JasonColapietro/suede-creator-skills, a repository with 165 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
