crit-onboarding-flows

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps designers and product teams identify friction in first-run experiences and craft onboarding flows that get new users to the product's core value quickly and reliably. It reduces drop-off by making explicit which steps can be deferred, how permissions should be requested, and how empty states and sample content should teach by doing.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Flow mapping & time-to-value analysis: Maps every screen and step from signup to first value, counts steps, and flags deferrable work so teams can shorten the path to value.
• Option generation with wireframes: Produces 2–3 annotated onboarding flow options as HTML wireframes, including flow diagrams, tooltip tours, permission primers, and progressive disclosure maps for comparison.
• Practical alignment & constraints: Reads locked screen inventory and edge-state decisions to ensure onboarding surfaces exist and documents constraints for navigation, content voice, and accessibility.
• Use case: Use this Skill to evaluate a SaaS onboarding that currently requires multiple setup steps and generate a "Zero Setup" and a "Guided Wizard" option to test which reaches first value faster.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to generate two onboarding options that reach the core action in under 60 seconds, including flow diagrams, annotated wireframes, step counts, explicit deferral decisions, and permission primers.
