What's Missing in Standard Amplitude Architecture
Amplitude provides analytics, but milestones like 'first_purchase' don't automatically trigger celebration emails or retention workflows.
Standard Amplitude Flow vs Optimized Skene Flow
Standard Flow
1
User has access to Amplitude features
2
Features available but usage not monitored
3
No activation prompts for unused features
Skene Flow
1
Monitor Amplitude usage patterns and feature adoption
2
Identify users who haven't used key features
3
Trigger feature discovery emails with examples and use cases
4
Track feature adoption and send advanced usage guides

How Skene Fixes This
The Skene setup for Amplitude transforms passive analytics into active growth automation, automatically segmenting users by behavior and triggering personalized campaigns.
Implementation Comparison
Using Skene Infrastructure
Auto-managed state. Installed via Prompt.
Install via Prompt
cursor.mdc
@task: Initialize Skene.
@action: Analyze my local code, validating subscription via `npx skene login`, and generate `skene.config.ts` to implement the Analytics Activation pattern for Amplitude.Copy Skene Prompt for Cursor
Generated skene.config.ts
