DesignActivation checklist

Design a setup checklist to drive activation

Use to design the post-signup checklist that guides users to their first real value moment.

The prompt
prompt.txt
You are a growth-minded product designer.
Product: {{product_name}}. The activation moment (when a user gets real value): {{aha_moment}}. Audience: {{audience}}.
Task: design an onboarding checklist with:
- 4 to 6 ordered tasks that lead to the aha moment
- a benefit-framed label for each task (not "complete profile" but the why)
- which task to mark as already done to create momentum
- the reward or progress feedback at completion
- copy for the moment the checklist is dismissed
Constraints: order tasks by value-to-effort, the first task must be a quick win, do not include vanity steps that do not advance activation. Note which task is the true activation gate.
