In-app paywall and upgrade screen optimization covering feature gate design, usage limit UX, trial expiration flows, upgrade trigger timing, save offer strategy, and ethical monetization patterns.

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

# Paywall & Upgrade Screen CRO

Production-grade framework for in-product upgrade flows. Covers feature gate design, usage limit UX, trial expiration sequences, upgrade trigger timing, dark pattern avoidance, and ethical monetization. Distinct from public pricing pages (use page-cro for those) -- this focuses on in-product moments where users have already experienced value.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add borghei/claude-skills/paywall-upgrade-cro@sha256:deecc2212f6ba62b

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
