What's Missing in Standard Next.js + Kinde + Stripe Architecture
Without behavioral tracking in your database, you can't identify when users become inactive or when they hit growth milestones worth celebrating. Most your database setups don't include activity monitoring by default, requiring custom implementation.
Standard Next.js + Kinde + Stripe Flow vs Optimized Skene Flow
User completes onboarding
User activity tracked manually (if at all)
No automated re-engagement when activity drops
Monitor your database 'events' table for user activity patterns via standard features
Detect when user becomes dormant (no activity for 7 days)
Trigger re-engagement email sequence with personalized content
Track re-engagement success and adjust campaigns

How Skene Fixes This
This Skene Prompt sets up behavioral tracking for Next.js + Kinde + Stripe by watching your database tables and detecting inactivity patterns. When users haven't engaged for 7 days, it triggers personalized re-engagement emails.
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 Retention Loop pattern for Next.js + Kinde + Stripe.Copy Skene Prompt for Cursor
Generated skene.config.ts
// skene.config.ts - The Automated Way
import { defineLoop } from '@skene/sdk';
export default defineLoop({
