What it adds

The builder studies your onboarding and product source files to define the single action that correlates with a user sticking, then constructs a guided path that gets a new account to that action with the fewest possible decisions. It converts by removing choice rather than adding motivation — defaults are pre-filled, optional steps are hidden, and the first outcome is visible on screen. The conversion event is the user completing the defined activation action for the first time.

What your builder is told to do

The actual instructions, in order.

1
Inspect the source files and name the single activation action explicitly: the one thing a user does that reliably precedes continued use. Everything in this build serves that action and nothing else.
2
Count the steps currently standing between account creation and that action, then eliminate, defer, or pre-fill every step that is not strictly required.
3
Replace empty states with pre-populated sample content drawn from the source files so the user manipulates something real instead of facing a blank surface.
4
Show progress against a short, finite checklist where each item is achievable in under a minute and the final item is the activation action itself.
5
Make the result visible and shareable the instant it exists — the user must see the output, not a success message about it.
6
Define responsive behavior: mobile compresses the checklist to a single current step with progress dots and full-width controls; tablet shows the checklist beside the working area; desktop keeps checklist, working area, and result preview simultaneously visible.
7
Trigger a re-engagement nudge only for users who stall at a specific step, referencing that exact step rather than sending a generic reminder.
8
Instrument each step's start, completion, and drop-off, mark the activation event distinctly, and stop all onboarding prompts the moment it fires.

Edge cases it handles

The things an agent skips when you only say "build a activation offer".

A user completes the activation action before onboarding begins: detect it and skip the flow entirely.
A user abandons midway and returns days later: resume at the exact step with prior input preserved.
Sample content conflicts with the user's real data: allow one-tap replacement without restarting the flow.
The activation action requires an integration or permission the user declines: provide a reduced path that still produces a visible result.
Multiple users on one account: scope activation per user, not per account, or team members never onboard.

Definition of done

Your builder is required to check every one of these before reporting the work finished.

A single activation action is named and documented from the source files.
Required steps between signup and activation are minimized, with removed steps listed.
Empty states are replaced with usable pre-filled content.
Mobile, tablet, and desktop each present the guided path and visible result appropriately.
Stalled users receive a nudge specific to the step where they stopped.
The activation event is tracked distinctly and terminates onboarding prompts.
The builder reports which source files defined the activation action and which behavioral assumptions are unresolved.

Grab the Markdown blueprint URL for this offer type.
2

Give it to your builder

Paste it into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or whatever AI builder is already working in your app.
3

It maps, then builds

Your agent reads the blueprint first, then builds the offer into your app around the product, audience, and stack.

Works with your stack

These blueprints are written to adapt. They tell the agent to detect your framework, match your existing design system, and use your source files instead of guessing the offer.

Need it tighter than that? Customize the offer file and tell it exactly which source docs and stack to use.
