Real Conversations
See how the Churn Prevention skill responds to actual requests. These are representative examples of what your AI agent will produce.
Our cancel button just goes straight to 'Are you sure? Yes/No.' We have 6.8% monthly churn. I know we could save some of these. Design a proper cancel flow.
Cancel Flow Design: Save Sequence
Step 1: Cancellation intent page (replaces 'Are you sure?')
Do not ask yes/no. Ask: "Before you go, help us understand why."
Why are you cancelling today? (required, single select)
○ Too expensive
○ Not using it enough
○ Missing a feature I need
○ Switching to another tool
○ Company/project ended
○ Other
Step 2: Reason-specific save offers (shown immediately after selection)
If "Too expensive":
"We'd hate to lose you over budget. Here's a one-time offer: 40% off for the next 3 months — just $17/month instead of $29. Keep everything you have." [Accept offer] [Continue cancelling]
If "Not using it enough":
"It sounds like you haven't found your rhythm yet. Can we schedule a 15-minute setup call? Teams who complete onboarding use [Product] 4x more often." [Book a call] [Continue cancelling]
If "Missing a feature":
Show a text field: "What feature were you looking for?" Response: "[Feature] is on our roadmap for Q3. Want us to email you when it launches? You can pause your account for free until then." [Pause account] [Continue cancelling]
If "Switching to another tool":
No save offer — respect it. Ask: "Which tool are you switching to? (helps us improve)" — this is competitive intelligence.
Step 3: Final confirmation For all reasons except "Company/project ended": show a pause option before hard cancel.
"Not ready to cancel permanently? Pause your account for up to 3 months — your data stays safe and you can resume anytime."
Expected impact: Reason-matched save offers typically reduce churn by 15–30%. Pause option recovers an additional 5–10% of would-be churns.
Get Started
How to install and use this skill in your preferred environment.
Skills are designed for AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf) and IDE-based workflows where the agent can read files, run scripts, and act on your codebase. Web-based AI can use the knowledge and frameworks, but won't have tool access.
Models & Context
Which AI models and context windows work best with this skill.
Recommended Models
Larger models produce more detailed, production-ready outputs.
Context Window
This skill's SKILL.md is typically 3–10 KB — fits in any modern context window.
All current frontier models (Claude, GPT, Gemini) support 100K+ context. Use the full window for complex multi-service work.
Pro tips for best results
Be specific
Include numbers — users, budget, RPS — so the skill can size the architecture.
Share constraints
Compliance needs, team size, and existing stack all improve the output.
Iterate
Start with a high-level design, then ask follow-ups for IaC, cost analysis, or security review.
Combine skills
