From the source SKILL.md

Acquisition without retention is a leaky bucket — you pay to fill it and it drains. This skill diagnoses where and why users drop, then designs the loop that makes the product habitual: the trigger that brings them back, the value they get, and the investment that makes the next visit more likely. Retention is the truest measure of product-market fit.

What this skill does

Retention Loop Design is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the retention-loyalty sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/retention-loop-design/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when asked to improve retention, design an engagement/habit loop, fix a leaky retention curve, or build a re-engagement system. Produces a retention design — the retention curve diagnosis, the core habit loop (trigger→action→reward→investment), the activation→habit path, re-engagement triggers, and the metrics to watch.
