What's Missing in Standard Lucia Architecture
While Lucia manages user accounts well, it doesn't automatically identify activation milestones. Authentication works, but value achievement isn't tracked.
Standard Lucia Flow vs Optimized Skene Flow
User signs up via Lucia
User record created but no activation tracking
No automatic trigger for activation milestones
Watch Lucia 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 Lucia 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 Lucia.Copy Skene Prompt for Cursor
Generated skene.config.ts
// skene.config.ts - The Automated Way
import { defineLoop } from '@skene/sdk';
