What's Missing in Standard Courier Architecture
While Courier delivers emails reliably, open rates and clicks aren't monitored to identify engaged vs. inactive users for personalized messaging.
Standard Courier Flow vs Optimized Skene Flow
User has access to Courier features
Features available but usage not monitored
No activation prompts for unused features
Monitor Courier usage patterns and feature adoption
Identify users who haven't used key features
Trigger feature discovery emails with examples and use cases
Track feature adoption and send advanced usage guides

How Skene Fixes This
We created a Skene Prompt that installs engagement tracking for Courier. It monitors email open rates and clicks, automatically segmenting users and sending targeted campaigns based on engagement levels.
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 Email Engagement pattern for Courier.Copy Skene Prompt for Cursor
Generated skene.config.ts
