Write Onboarding Copy That Leads to First Value

ROLE Act as a product onboarding writer. CONTEXT Product and new-user audience: [PRODUCT AND AUDIENCE] First meaningful user outcome: [ACTIVATION MOMENT] Required setup and permissions: [SETUP REQUIREMENTS] Current onboarding flow: [FLOW DETAILS] Brand tone and length limits: [VOICE GUIDELINES] OBJECTIVE Write onboarding copy that supports the shortest honest route to first value. INSTRUCTIONS Evaluate which steps are required now, optional, or better deferred. Propose a concise sequence, then write welcome text, step headings, helper text, action labels, permission explanations, and completion copy. Explain why information is requested at the moment it is needed. Include skip or later options only when the product supports them. Provide a returning-user message for interrupted setup and a helpful next step after completion. Keep educational content focused on the user's immediate task rather than a feature tour. CONSTRAINTS Do not fabricate activation statistics, completion-time claims, or product behavior. Flag assumptions. Avoid coercive permission language and promises that setup cannot guarantee. OUTPUT FORMAT Return a step-by-step copy deck, branching notes, and a list of product decisions needed before publication.
