Signup Flow Cro V2

Signup Flow CRO

Overview

This public intake copy packages plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills/skills/signup-flow-cro from https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills into the native Omni Skills editorial shape without hiding its origin.

Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.

This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses the external_source block in metadata.json plus ORIGIN.md as the provenance anchor for review.

Signup Flow CRO You are an expert in optimizing signup and registration flows. Your goal is to reduce friction, increase completion rates, and set users up for successful activation.

Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Initial Assessment, Field-by-Field Optimization, Trust and Friction Reduction, Mobile Signup Optimization, Post-Submit Experience, Measurement.

When to Use This Skill

Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.

• This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.
• Use when the request clearly matches the imported source intent: You are an expert in optimizing signup and registration flows. Your goal is to reduce friction, increase completion rates, and set users up for successful activation.
• Use when the operator should preserve upstream workflow detail instead of rewriting the process from scratch.
• Use when provenance needs to stay visible in the answer, PR, or review packet.
• Use when copied upstream references, examples, or scripts materially improve the answer.
• Use when the workflow should remain reviewable in the public intake repo before the private enhancer takes over.

Operating Table

Workflow

This workflow is intentionally editorial and operational at the same time. It keeps the imported source useful to the operator while still satisfying the public intake standards that feed the downstream enhancer flow.

1. 3 or fewer fields
2. Simple B2C products
3. High-intent visitors (from ads, waitlist)
4. More than 3-4 fields needed
5. Complex B2B products needing segmentation
6. You need to collect different types of info
7. Show progress indicator

Imported Workflow Notes

Imported: Single-Step vs. Multi-Step

Single-Step Works When:

• 3 or fewer fields
• Simple B2C products
• High-intent visitors (from ads, waitlist)

Multi-Step Works When:

• More than 3-4 fields needed
• Complex B2B products needing segmentation
• You need to collect different types of info

Multi-Step Best Practices

• Show progress indicator
• Lead with easy questions (name, email)
• Put harder questions later (after psychological commitment)
• Each step should feel completable in seconds
• Allow back navigation
• Save progress (don't lose data on refresh)

Progressive commitment pattern:

1. Email only (lowest barrier)
2. Password + name
3. Customization questions (optional)

Imported: Initial Assessment

Before providing recommendations, understand:

1. Flow Type

   • Free trial signup
   • Freemium account creation
   • Paid account creation
   • Waitlist/early access signup
   • B2B vs B2C

2. Current State

   • How many steps/screens?
   • What fields are required?
   • What's the current completion rate?
   • Where do users drop off?

3. Business Constraints

   • What data is genuinely needed at signup?
   • Are there compliance requirements?
   • What happens immediately after signup?

Examples

Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly

Use @signup-flow-cro-v2 to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.

Explanation: This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.

Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review

Review @signup-flow-cro-v2 against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.

Explanation: Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.

Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution

Use @signup-flow-cro-v2 for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.

Explanation: This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.

Example 4: Build a reviewer packet

Review @signup-flow-cro-v2 using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.

Explanation: This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.

Best Practices

Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.

• Do we absolutely need this before they can use the product?
• Can we collect this later through progressive profiling?
• Can we infer this from other data?
• Essential: Email (or phone), Password
• Often needed: Name
• Usually deferrable: Company, Role, Team size, Phone, Address
• What can you show/give before requiring signup?

Imported Operating Notes

Imported: Core Principles

1. Minimize Required Fields

Every field reduces conversion. For each field, ask:

• Do we absolutely need this before they can use the product?
• Can we collect this later through progressive profiling?
• Can we infer this from other data?

Typical field priority:

• Essential: Email (or phone), Password
• Often needed: Name
• Usually deferrable: Company, Role, Team size, Phone, Address

2. Show Value Before Asking for Commitment

• What can you show/give before requiring signup?
• Can they experience the product before creating an account?
• Reverse the order: value first, signup second

3. Reduce Perceived Effort

• Show progress if multi-step
• Group related fields
• Use smart defaults
• Pre-fill when possible

4. Remove Uncertainty

• Clear expectations ("Takes 30 seconds")
• Show what happens after signup
• No surprises (hidden requirements, unexpected steps)

Troubleshooting

Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically

Symptoms: The result ignores the upstream workflow in plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills/skills/signup-flow-cro, fails to mention provenance, or does not use any copied source files at all. Solution: Re-open metadata.json, ORIGIN.md, and the most relevant copied upstream files. Check the external_source block first, then restate the provenance before continuing.

Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review

Symptoms: Reviewers can see the generated SKILL.md, but they cannot quickly tell which references, examples, or scripts matter for the current task. Solution: Point at the exact copied references, examples, scripts, or assets that justify the path you took. If the gap is still real, record it in the PR instead of hiding it.

Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization

Symptoms: The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better. Solution: Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.

Imported Reference Notes

Imported: Field-by-Field Optimization

Imported: Questions to Ask

If you need more context:

1. What's your current signup completion rate?
2. Do you have field-level analytics on drop-off?
3. What data is absolutely required before they can use the product?
4. Are there compliance or verification requirements?
5. What happens immediately after signup?

Imported: Limitations

• Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
• Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
• Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
