Drive Motivation
Skill Verified ActiveDesign motivation systems using Autonomy, Mastery, and Purpose (AMP) for products and teams. Use when the user mentions "intrinsic motivation", "gamification isnt working", "team incentives", "autonomy", "mastery", "purpose-driven", "employee engagement", or "reward systems". Also trigger when designing onboarding progression systems, fixing broken gamification, or building team structures that sustain high performance. 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.
To guide users in designing effective motivation systems by applying the principles of Autonomy, Mastery, and Purpose, moving beyond outdated reward-based approaches.

Choose Loop Wakeup Interval
100Select a `delaySeconds` value when scheduling a loop wakeup via the `ScheduleWakeup` tool or the `/loop` slash command. Covers the three-tier cache-aware decision (cache-warm under 5 minutes, cache-miss 5 minutes to 1 hour, idle default 20 to 30 minutes), the 300-second anti-pattern, the [60, 3600] runtime clamp, the minute-boundary rounding quirk, and writing a telemetry-worthy `reason` field. Use when designing an autonomous loop, when a heartbeat cadence is being planned, when polling cadence is being tuned, or when post-hoc review of loop costs reveals interval mis-sizing.
Pricing Strategy
100Analyze and design pricing strategies including pricing models, competitive pricing analysis, willingness-to-pay estimation, and price elasticity. Use when setting prices, evaluating pricing models, preparing for a pricing change, or comparing freemium vs paid approaches.
Measure Experiment Design
100Designs an A/B test or experiment with clear hypothesis, variants, success metrics, sample size, and duration. Use when planning experiments to validate product changes or test hypotheses.
Measure Dashboard Requirements
100Specifies requirements for an analytics dashboard including metrics, visualizations, filters, and data sources. Use when requesting dashboards from data teams, defining KPI tracking, or documenting reporting needs.
Brainstorm Experiments New
100Design lean startup experiments (pretotypes) for a new product. Creates XYZ hypotheses and suggests low-effort validation methods like landing pages, explainer videos, and pre-orders. Use when validating a new product idea, creating pretotypes, or testing market demand.
Brainstorm Experiments Existing
100Design experiments to test assumptions for an existing product — prototypes, A/B tests, spikes, and other low-effort validation methods. Use when validating assumptions, testing feature ideas cheaply, or planning product experiments.
