What's Missing in Standard Vercel Architecture
While Vercel deploys reliably, successful deployments pass without driving user engagement or highlighting new features to active users.
Standard Vercel Flow vs Optimized Skene Flow
Standard Flow
1
User has access to Vercel features
2
Features available but usage not monitored
3
No activation prompts for unused features
Skene Flow
1
Monitor Vercel 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 watches Vercel deployment events and automatically triggers announcement emails to engaged users, turning technical events into growth opportunities.
Implementation Comparison
Using Skene Infrastructure
Auto-managed state. Installed 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 Vercel.Copy Skene Prompt for Cursor
