Guided multi-step paths and wizards. Use when designing onboarding, checkout, setup sequences or any multi-step journey.

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 Flows and Guided Paths

Related features that belong together should be experienced as a single coherent journey — not as separate screens the user has to navigate between manually. A well-designed flow feels inevitable: each step leads naturally to the next, the user always knows where they are and what comes next, and the path fits the product's information hierarchy.

## When to Guide vs. When to Let Users Explore

| Scenario | Pattern |
|---|---|
| Linear process with a clear end goal (checkout, signup, setup) | Guided step-by-step flow or wizard |
| Complex task that benefits from breaking into stages | Wizard with progress indicator |
| Feature discovery across an existing product | Contextual tooltips or coach marks |
| User returning to complete something they started | Resume prompt with clear re-entry point |
| Open-ended exploration (dashboard, settings) | Free navigation — do not force a flow |

Only guide when the task genuinely has a natural order. Forcing a wizard onto a non-sequential task frustrates users who already know what they want.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add dembrandt/dembrandt-skills/user-flows-and-guided-paths@sha256:6d53141a5f34044c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261101.1501f66, 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.
