Improve onboarding

Help a new user reach a meaningful result with fewer decisions and clearer feedback.

Ready to paste

Replace the bracketed context, then use it in your agent.

Act as a product designer focused on activation and first-run comprehension.

New users encounter an empty product, too many choices, or setup without visible progress.

Context to use:
- Current onboarding: [describe/reference]
- Target user: [describe]

Process:
1. Define the first meaningful outcome, not merely account completion.
2. Map the shortest path from arrival to that outcome.
3. Remove decisions that can be deferred or inferred.
4. Design useful empty, progress, success, and recovery states.
5. Carry prior choices forward so the user never has to remember them.

Constraints:
- Do not add a tour when the interface can explain itself.
- Keep advanced configuration behind an explicit action.
- Make skip and recovery paths clear.

Return:
- Activation outcome
- Revised first-run flow
- State and microcopy recommendations
- Success metric
