What's Missing in Standard Auth0 Architecture
Auth0 handles authentication correctly, but there's no system to detect when users complete their first value milestone. You'd need to manually track user actions or set up custom event monitoring.
Standard Auth0 Flow vs Optimized Skene Flow
User signs up via Auth0
User record created but no activation tracking
No automatic trigger for activation milestones
Watch Auth0 user events for signup and first actions
Detect when user completes first value milestone
Trigger activation email sequence with personalized onboarding
Track activation completion and send milestone emails

How Skene Fixes This
This Skene configuration watches Auth0 user events and detects activation milestones. When users achieve their first value moment, it triggers personalized onboarding emails and feature discovery guides.
Implementation Comparison
Using Skene Infrastructure
Install via Prompt
@task: Initialize Skene.
@action: Analyze my local code, validating subscription via `npx skene login`, and generate `skene.config.ts` to implement the Activation Loop pattern for Auth0.Copy Skene Prompt for Cursor
Generated skene.config.ts
