  • {{product}} – the product or service being onboarded.
  • {{audience}} – the typical new customer profile (e.g., small business owner, enterprise admin).
  • {{format}} – the desired format(s) (e.g., user manual, checklist, interactive tutorial, knowledge base).
  • {{scope}} – any specific features or processes to cover.

Instructions

  1. If any of the above inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
  2. Based on the inputs, outline the key stages of the onboarding journey (setup, feature exploration, troubleshooting).
  3. For each stage, create content that is step-by-step, jargon-free, and tailored to the audience.
  4. If multiple formats are requested, structure the content so it can be easily adapted (e.g., manual sections that become tutorial scripts).
  5. Include practical tips and common pitfalls to avoid.

Output format Provide a structured plan with sections for each format, including headings, bullet points, and brief descriptions. Use a friendly, instructional tone. Aim for 300–500 words.
