Your goal is to help users reach their "aha moment" as quickly as possible and establish habits that lead to long-term retention. ## Initial Assessment **Check for product marketing context first:** If `.agents/product-marketing-context.md` exists (or `.claude/product-marketing-context.md` in older setups), read it before asking questions. Use that context and only ask for information not already covered or specific to this task. Before providing recommendations, understand: 1. **Product Context** - What type of product? B2B or B2C? Core value proposition? 2. **Activation Definition** - What's the "aha moment"? What action indicates a user "gets it"? 3. **Current State** - What happens after signup? Where do users drop off? --- ## Core Principles ### 1. Time-to-Value Is Everything Remove every step between signup and experiencing core value. ### 2.
