What's Missing in Standard Cloudflare Pages Architecture
Cloudflare Pages creates user sessions, but lacks the infrastructure to detect when users first achieve value in your application without custom implementation.
Standard Cloudflare Pages Flow vs Optimized Skene Flow
User signs up via authentication
User record created in your database
No automatic trigger - manual follow-up required
Watch your database 'users' table for new signups using standard API
Detect when user completes first key action (e.g., connecting their first integration) using your database queries
Trigger activation email sequence via Resend with personalized onboarding
Track activation completion and send milestone emails

How Skene Fixes This
We created a Skene configuration that tracks user progress after signup and automatically sends milestone emails when users complete key actions like connecting their first integration in Cloudflare Pages.
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 Post-Deploy Activation pattern for Cloudflare Pages.Copy Skene Prompt for Cursor
Generated skene.config.ts
