What's Missing in Standard Chroma Architecture

Chroma provides AI capabilities, but usage tracking shows most users never try them. Without activation loops, 70% of users miss the core AI value proposition.

Standard Chroma Flow vs Optimized Skene Flow

Standard Flow
1

User has access to Chroma features

2

Features available but usage not monitored

3

No activation prompts for unused features

Skene Flow
1

Monitor Chroma 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

This Skene configuration tracks Chroma AI API calls and identifies users who haven't used AI features. It automatically triggers discovery emails with examples and use cases to drive adoption.

Implementation Comparison

Using Skene Infrastructure

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 AI Activation pattern for Chroma.

// skene.config.ts - The Automated Way
import { defineLoop } from '@skene/sdk';

export default defineLoop({
