Gets new users from signup to first real value — signup flow, onboarding, time-to-value, and the early experience that determines whether someone becomes a user or a lapsed account. Use this to design or fix signup and onboarding, diagnose why signups do not convert to active use, reduce time-to-value, or decide what a new user must accomplish first.
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
# Activation Acquisition spend is wasted downstream of a weak activation. This is usually the cheapest place to improve revenue and the least worked on. ## Define the activation moment Name the specific thing a new user does that predicts they will stay — not "logged in twice," but the action that delivers the value they came for. Find it in the data: compare what retained users did in week one against what churned users did. Everything in onboarding exists to get people to that moment faster. Without it defined, onboarding becomes a feature tour. ## Signup Every field costs conversion, and each one must earn its place. Ask for what is needed to deliver value now; collect the rest later, in context, when the reason is obvious. - Defer email verification past first value where the product allows it. - Never ask for payment details before value is delivered unless the model requires it. - Show progress on multi-step flows, and let people finish later without losing work. - Errors inline and specific. A form that rejects on submit without saying which field is where people leave. ## Onboarding The goal is the first real outcome, not a completed tour. …

How to install
mdr add cbrock84/headcount/activation@sha256:5f3ff5e6347cb60dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.e72e404, 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.
