Traces a complete user path from entry to conversion, identifies the three highest-friction moments, and designs both the happy path and fallback recovery flows.
Traces a complete user path from entry to conversion, identifies the three highest-friction moments, and designs both the happy path and fallback recovery flows. Use it when planning a new product flow or auditing an existing one for drop-off.
<context>
Product: [PRODUCT NAME]
User goal: [WHAT THE USER WANTS TO ACCOMPLISH]
Starting point: [WHERE THE USER ENTERS — homepage, ad, email link, etc.]
End point: [DESIRED ACTION — purchase, signup, booking, etc.]
</context>
<task>
Map the complete user flow from entry to completion:
1. List every screen/page the user encounters in order
2. For each screen, specify:
- Primary action (what we want them to do)
- Secondary action (acceptable alternative)
- Information shown
- Potential drop-off reasons
- Micro-copy for CTAs and guidance text
3. Identify the 3 highest-friction points in this flow and suggest UX improvements for each
4. Map the error states — what happens when something goes wrong at each step
5. Design the "happy path" confirmation and the "recovery path" for abandoned flows
Present as a numbered sequential flow with branching paths clearly marked.
