Use when defining or auditing the activation event — aha-moment selection, retention correlation, falsifiable definition. Triggers on 'what is our aha moment', 'redefine activation'.
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-design ## When to use - The activation event is *"signed up"* or *"logged in"* and the funnel looks healthy while retention sinks — the event does not correlate with paid or D30, so the metric is a vanity surface. - A new segment is being routed against an activation event built for a previous segment — the aha moment differs by segment and the metric needs to be re-keyed. - A product loop redesign needs activation to complete the loop's first cycle (handover from `retention-loops`) — the activation event must match the binding loop's first reward, not an arbitrary product step. Do NOT use to design the day-0-to-day-30 milestone path (route to `onboarding-design`), the long-running retention loops themselves (route to `retention-loops`), or the full visitor-to-paid funnel diagnosis (route to `funnel-analysis`). ## Cognition cluster - **Mental model 9 — Hypothesis-driven thinking.** *"Event E is the activation moment because users who reach E retain at \<rate\> vs \<base\>"* is a falsifiable claim with evidence. *"E feels important"* is not. Pick the event that survives the hypothesis test. See …

How to install
mdr add event4u-app/agent-config/activation-design@sha256:c8608c298f3aa3d5The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260603.668ed88, 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.
