What problem does it solve? New users abandon products when onboarding frontloads modal carousels, mandatory forms, and blank screens before delivering any value. This Skill provides research-backed frameworks and binary evaluation gates to design onboarding that reaches the first value moment in under 60 seconds. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Friction Elimination: Applies NN/g anti-carousel rules, BJ Fogg's B=MAP model, and lazy registration to prune every step off the straight line to the Aha! moment. - Framework Library: Translates Kathy Sierra's Minimum Viable Instruction, Wes Bush's Bowling Alley Framework, MIT Press Level-1 invisible tutorials, and Pragmatic zero-to-hello-world patterns into concrete interface mechanics. - Eval-Driven Verification: Ships binary pass/fail eval cases (evals/cases.json) covering carousels, empty states, skippability, and time-to-value so designs are tested against known failure modes. - Use Case: A SaaS team with 70% signup drop-off uses this Skill to audit their welcome wizard, replace a 5-step modal tour with actionable empty states and contextual hints, defer registration, and verify TTV under 60 seconds. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to audit your current signup-to-first-value flow and redesign it using straight-line onboarding with actionable empty states and a friction audit table.
