Move new users to their first value moment fast by defining activation, instrumenting the funnel, and cutting time-to-value. Use when signups do not become engaged users.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# User activation Activation is the moment a user first receives the product's core value: the promise the landing page made, kept. Everything between signup and that moment is friction to be measured and removed; most products lose the majority of signups exactly there. ## Method 1. **Define the activation moment empirically.** Find the early behavior that separates retained users from churned ones (correlation across cohorts: "created a project and invited one teammate in week one"): specific, observable, and causally plausible: not "completed onboarding" (your flow) but "experienced value" (their outcome) (see product-metrics' north-star decomposition: activation is its first input). 2. **Instrument the funnel step by step.** Every step from landing through activation as events (see product-metrics' schema discipline): drop-off per step, by acquisition source (see landing-page-strategy: message mismatch shows up as step-one abandonment), by segment. The biggest cliff is the roadmap; opinions about onboarding without the funnel are decoration. 3. **Shorten the path to first value ruthlessly.** Defer …

How to install
mdr add amey-thakur/ai-skills/user-activation@sha256:152ebe7453c1eb2dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260720.41d8423, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
