"Activate when: user says 'our growth is stalling and we don't know why,' 'product and marketing are arguing about whose fault it is,' 'where is our funnel breaking,' 'pirate metrics,' or 'acquisition vs activation vs retention.' Also activate for: designing end-to-end metrics for a new product, building a shared instrumentation framework across teams.
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
# AARRR (Pirate Metrics) ## Overview A startup's growth is a **sequential funnel** — each stage gates the next. Great Acquisition is worthless if Activation is broken; great Activation is worthless if Retention is zero. Optimizing the wrong stage produces work that looks like progress while the bottleneck stays. The **AARRR framework** (Dave McClure, *Startup Metrics for Pirates*, 2007) names five stages: Acquisition (do they show up?), Activation (good first experience?), Retention (do they come back?), Referral (do they tell others?), Revenue (do they pay?). The bottleneck stage governs total growth — improving any other stage produces no system-level gain (Goldratt, *The Goal*, 1984). **Compose with:** [first-principles](../first-principles/SKILL.md) to identify your specific Activation event; [pmf-crossing-the-chasm](../pmf-crossing-the-chasm/SKILL.md) to recognize when Retention will always be the bottleneck pre-PMF; [probabilistic-thinking](../probabilistic-thinking/SKILL.md) to set base rates per stage. ## When to Use - Growth is **stalling** and the cause is not obvious — multiple teams have plausible explanations …

How to install
mdr add deciqai/knowledge-skills/aarrr-pirate-metrics@sha256:42b83cabd23101d4The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261025.cb4e537, 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.
