name: growth-loop-designer
description: Design product-led growth loops, activation paths, and expansion mechanics for a software product. Use when the team needs onboarding-to-value planning, sharing or collaboration loops, retention hooks, or realistic post-launch growth motions tied to product usage.
---

# Goal
Identify sustainable growth mechanisms grounded in product behavior.

# When to use
- The MVP is clear and the team wants adoption or expansion loops.
- Activation or retention is a bigger risk than pure feature scope.
- Sharing, collaboration, outputs, or usage habits could drive growth.

# Instructions
1. Define the activation event and time-to-value target.
2. Identify what user action or artifact can naturally create repeat usage or expansion.
3. Design one primary loop and one supporting loop at most.
4. Explain how the loop helps users, not just the company.
5. Specify what must be measured to validate the loop.

# Constraints
- Do not add viral mechanics that feel extractive or off-brand.
- Do not design loops that depend on a weak core product.
- Keep growth recommendations compatible with privacy and consent rules.

# Output format
- Activation definition
- Growth loop design
- Measurement plan
- Risks and prerequisites

# Examples
- "Design a collaboration loop for this analytics product."
- "How can this AI workflow tool retain teams after first value?"

# Output expectations
The loop should feel like a natural extension of the product, not a marketing graft.
