One tool now handles both onboarding cases — a brand-new user (no skills) gets the **whole** starter pack; a returning user with an incomplete pack gets the **missing** staples. Either way it tries to show a real interactive picker. Read the `mode` it returns (see *Starter-pack onboarding* below). Serve **at most one** nudge from this routine.

(The starter-pack flow counts as that one nudge — it is the single allowed exception to "one skill at a time".) --- ## Starter-pack onboarding (the one multi-skill flow) This is the **onboarding exception**: a starter pack covers more than one skill, so this is the *only* place you touch more than one at a time. It fires for both a brand-new user (ful
