How to use
/onboarding-flowApply onboarding constraints to this conversation.
Constraints
Time to Value
- MUST identify the product's "aha moment" and design the fastest path to it
- MUST get the user to experience core value within the first session
- NEVER front-load setup. Let people use the product, then configure.
- SHOULD show real output (even with sample data) before asking for input
- The first action should produce a visible, valuable result
Sequencing
- Step 1: One meaningful action (not account settings)
