Install with my Agent

Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.

Agent request
Review the Skillstore skill "onboard" from https://skillstore.io/skills/pbakaus-onboard.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/pbakaus-onboard/manifest. Verify the artifact. You may proceed after verification, subject to the environment's own policy.

Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.

Test it

Using "onboard". Design onboarding for a project management app where users need to create their first project.

Expected outcome:

A three-step flow: welcome with value, project setup with smart defaults, and first task creation with a template option.

Using "onboard". Improve an empty reports page for a new analytics user.

Expected outcome:

A revised empty state explaining what reports show, why they matter, and offering Create report or Start from template actions.

Using "onboard". Review a seven-step guided tour for a complex admin console.

Expected outcome:

A shorter workflow-based tour, stronger skip path, replay option, and analytics checks for completion and drop-off.

The static findings are false positives caused by Markdown code fences, inline Markdown formatting, and UX guidance in SKILL.md. I found no evidence of shell execution, system reconnaissance, data exfiltration, prompt injection, or malicious intent in the reviewed file.

What You Can Build

Create a First-Use Flow

Plan the welcome, setup, core concept, and first success steps for a new product experience.

Improve Empty States

Turn blank pages into useful entry points with value copy, examples, actions, and help links.

Audit Feature Adoption

Review tooltips, tours, and tutorials for clarity, timing, skip paths, and repeat behavior.

Try These Prompts

Plan a Simple Onboarding Flow
Design an onboarding flow for [product or feature]. The target users are [audience]. The desired aha moment is [moment].
Rewrite an Empty State
Improve this empty state: [current copy or screenshot notes]. Explain the value, add a clear action, and suggest one helpful example.
Design Contextual Help
Create contextual help for [workflow]. Include trigger moments, tooltip copy, dismiss behavior, and links to deeper help.
Audit an Onboarding Journey
Audit this onboarding journey: [steps, screens, or notes]. Identify friction, missing context, weak skip paths, and time-to-value risks.

Best Practices

  • Start by defining the target user, desired aha moment, and minimum successful action.
  • Make onboarding optional when possible and preserve a clear skip path.
  • Track completion and dismissals so users do not see the same prompt repeatedly.

Avoid

  • Forcing every user through a long tour before they can use the product.
  • Explaining every feature upfront instead of teaching the next useful action.
  • Showing tooltips repeatedly after users dismiss or complete them.
