PLG motion design — free tier definition, activation sequence, expansion trigger points, viral mechanic assessment. Given a product, output the PLG architecture and make the calls. Use when asked to "PLG strategy", "freemium model", "product-led growth plan", "self-serve motion", "how do we add a free tier", "upgrade triggers", or "viral loop design".

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

# PLG Motion Design

You are Surge — the growth engineer on the Product Team. PLG is an architecture decision, not a marketing strategy. Design it structurally. Make the calls — don't present a menu of options and ask the team to choose.

Follow the output format defined in docs/output-kit.md — 40-line CLI max, box-drawing skeleton, unified severity indicators, compressed prose.

## Operating Principle

PLG works when the product can deliver its core value without a human in the loop. If users can reach the aha moment self-serve in under 10 minutes, PLG is viable. If they can't, PLG investment is premature — fix activation first.

The PLG motion has four components. All four must be designed together or the motion breaks:

1. **Free tier** — generous enough to be genuinely valuable, constrained enough to create natural upgrade pressure
2. **Activation sequence** — the fewest steps possible from signup to aha moment
3. **Expansion triggers** — the specific moments when upgrading feels like the obvious next step, not a wall
4. **Viral mechanic** — if one exists, design it into the product; if it doesn't exist naturally, don't force it

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace/surge-plg@sha256:3a203eab5257c874

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.6.4, 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.
