# 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.

## Initial Assessment

**Check for product marketing context first:**
If `.claude/product-marketing-context.md` exists, 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. **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?

---

## Core Principles
→ See references/signup-cro-playbook.md for details

## Tools

| Tool | Invocation | Output |
|---|---|---|
| Funnel drop analyzer | `python3 scripts/funnel_drop_analyzer.py --steps funnel.json` (or `--stdin`; `--json` for pipelines; no arg = embedded demo) | Per-step drop-off %, the worst step named, and severity ranking |

Feed it the step-by-step user counts (landing → form start → form complete → verify → done). The named worst step is where the audit starts; quantify each finding's Impact with its drop-off number.

## Output Format

### Audit Findings
For each issue found:
- **Issue**: What's wrong
- **Impact**: Why it matters (with estimated impact if possible)
- **Fix**: Specific recommendation
- **Priority**: High/Medium/Low

### Recommended Changes
Organized by:
1. Quick wins (same-day fixes)
2. High-impact changes (week-level effort)
3. Test hypotheses (things to A/B test)

### Form Redesign (if requested)
- Recommended field set with rationale
- Field order
- Copy for labels, placeholders, buttons, errors
- Visual layout suggestions

---

## Common Signup Flow Patterns

### B2B SaaS Trial
1. Email + Password (or Google auth)
2. Name + Company (optional: role)
3. → Onboarding flow

### B2C App
1. Google/Apple auth OR Email
2. → Product experience
3. Profile completion later

### Waitlist/Early Access
1. Email only
2. Optional: Role/use case question
3. → Waitlist confirmation

### E-commerce Account
1. Guest checkout as default
2. Account creation optional post-purchase
3. OR Social auth with single click

---

## Experiment Ideas

### Form Design Experiments

**Layout & Structure**
- Single-step vs. multi-step signup flow
- Multi-step with progress bar vs. without
- 1-column vs. 2-column field layout
- Form embedded on page vs. separate signup page
- Horizontal vs. vertical field alignment

**Field Optimization**
- Reduce to minimum fields (email + password only)
- Add or remove phone number field
- Single "Name" field vs. "First/Last" split
- Add or remove company/organization field
- Test required vs. optional field balance

**Authentication Options**
- Add SSO options (Google, Microsoft, GitHub, LinkedIn)
- SSO prominent vs. email form prominent
- Test which SSO options resonate (varies by audience)
- SSO-only vs. SSO + email option

**Visual Design**
- Test button colors and sizes for CTA prominence
- Plain background vs. product-related visuals
- Test form container styling (card vs. minimal)
- Mobile-optimized layout testing

---

### Copy & Messaging Experiments

**Headlines & CTAs**
- Test headline variations above signup form
- CTA button text: "Create Account" vs. "Start Free Trial" vs. "Get Started"
- Add clarity around trial length in CTA
- Test value proposition emphasis in form header

**Microcopy**
- Field labels: minimal vs. descriptive
- Placeholder text optimization
- Error message clarity and tone
- Password requirement display (upfront vs. on error)

**Trust Elements**
- Add social proof next to signup form
- Test trust badges near form (security, compliance)
- Add "No credit card required" messaging
- Include privacy assurance copy

---

### Trial & Commitment Experiments

**Free Trial Variations**
- Credit card required vs. not required for trial
- Test trial length impact (7 vs. 14 vs. 30 days)
- Freemium vs. free trial model
- Trial with limited features vs. full access

**Friction Points**
- Email verification required vs. delayed vs. removed
- Test CAPTCHA impact on completion
- Terms acceptance checkbox vs. implicit acceptance
- Phone verification for high-value accounts

---

### Post-Submit Experiments

- Clear next steps messaging after signup
- Instant product access vs. email confirmation first
- Personalized welcome message based on signup data
- Auto-login after signup vs. require login

---

## Task-Specific Questions

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?

---

## Related Skills

- **onboarding-cro** — WHEN: the signup flow itself completes well but users aren't activating or reaching their "aha moment" after account creation. WHEN NOT: don't jump to onboarding-cro when users are dropping off during the signup form itself.
- **form-cro** — WHEN: the form being optimized is NOT account creation — lead capture, contact, demo request, or survey forms need form-cro instead. WHEN NOT: don't use form-cro for registration/account creation flows; signup-flow-cro has the right framework for authentication patterns (SSO, magic link, email+password).
- **page-cro** — WHEN: the landing page or marketing page leading to the signup is the bottleneck — poor headline, weak value prop, or message mismatch. WHEN NOT: don't invoke page-cro when users are reaching the signup form but dropping inside it.
- **ab-test-setup** — WHEN: hypotheses from the signup audit are ready to test (SSO vs. email, single-step vs. multi-step, credit card required vs. not). WHEN NOT: don't run A/B tests on the signup flow before instrumenting field-level drop-off analytics.
- **paywall-upgrade-cro** — WHEN: the signup flow is freemium and the real challenge is converting free users to paid, not getting them to sign up. WHEN NOT: don't conflate trial-to-paid conversion with signup-flow optimization.
- **marketing-context** — WHEN: check `.claude/product-marketing-context.md` for B2B vs. B2C context, compliance requirements, and qualification data needs before designing the field set. WHEN NOT: skip if user has provided explicit product and compliance context in the conversation.

## Communication

All signup flow CRO output follows this quality standard:
- Recommendations are always organized as **Quick Wins → High-Impact → Test Hypotheses** — never a flat list
- Every field removal recommendation is justified against the "do we need this before they can use the product?" test
- SSO options are always considered and recommended when relevant — don't default to email-only flows
- Post-submit experience (verification, success state, next steps) is always addressed — it's part of the flow
- Mobile optimization is treated as a distinct section, not an afterthought
- Experiment ideas distinguish between "fix this" (obvious) and "test this" (uncertain) — never recommend testing obvious improvements

---

## Proactive Triggers

Automatically surface signup-flow-cro when:

1. **"Users sign up but don't activate"** — Low activation rate often traces back to signup friction or a broken post-submit experience; proactively audit the full signup-to-activation path.
2. **"Our trial conversion is low"** — When the trial-to-paid rate is poor, check whether the signup flow is setting wrong expectations or collecting the wrong users.
3. **Free trial or freemium product being built** — When product or engineering work on a new trial flow is detected, proactively offer signup-flow-cro review before launch.
4. **"Should we require a credit card?"** — This question always triggers the full signup friction analysis and trial commitment experiment framework.
5. **High mobile drop-off on signup** — When analytics or page-cro reveals a mobile gap specifically on the signup page, immediately surface the mobile signup optimization checklist.
