improve-retention

Solid

Diagnose and fix retention problems using behavior design (B=MAP). Use when the user mentions "users drop off", "activation rate", "onboarding friction", "retention metrics", "why users dont complete", "churn analysis", "user activation", or "aha moment". Also trigger when analyzing cohort retention curves, designing activation milestones, reducing time-to-value for new users, or investigating why users stop after their first session. Covers the Ability Chain, prompt design, and tiny behaviors that compound. For habit loops and variable rewards, see hooked-ux. For intrinsic motivation, see drive-motivation.

# Behavior Design Framework Framework for designing products that reliably change behavior. Based on a fundamental truth: behavior is not about willpower or motivation—it is a design problem with a predictable equation. ## Core Principle **The Fogg Behavior Model** = B=MAP. Behavior happens when Motivation, Ability, and a Prompt converge at the same moment. ``` HIGH ┃ ┃ ★ Behavior happens ┃ (above the Action Line) ┃ Motivation ┃━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ← Action Line ┃ ┃ ✗ Behavior fails ┃ (below the Action Line) LOW ┃ ┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ HARD EASY Ability ``` **The Action Line:** When motivation and ability are sufficient, a prompt causes the behavior. Below the line, no prompt works. The line curves: high motivation compensates for low ability, and high ability compensates for low motivation. The reliable strategy is to make behaviors easier (move right), not to pump up motivation (move up). ## Scoring **Goal: 10/10.** When reviewing or creating product behavior design, rate them 0-10 based on adherence to the principles below. A 10/10 means full alignment with all guidelines; lower scores indicate gaps to address. Always provide the current score and specific improvements needed to reach 10/10. ## The Three Elements ### 1. Motivation **Core conce...

drive-motivation

Design motivation systems using Autonomy, Mastery, and Purpose (AMP) for products and teams. Use when the user mentions "intrinsic motivation", "gamification isn't working", "team incentives", "autonomy", "mastery", or "purpose-driven". Covers why carrot-and-stick fails and how to build progress systems. For habit-forming product loops, see hooked-ux. For retention behavior design, see improve-retention. Trigger with 'drive', 'motivation'.

hooked-ux

Design habit-forming product loops using the Hook Model (Trigger, Action, Variable Reward, Investment). Use when the user mentions "users arent coming back", "engagement loops", "habit formation", "push notifications", "variable rewards", "daily active users", "habit zone", or "user retention loops". Also trigger when designing notification strategies, building streaks or progress systems, or analyzing why users stop using a product after initial signup. Covers ethics evaluation and onboarding for habits. For friction reduction and B=MAP, see improve-retention. For viral sharing, see contagious.
