# Onboarding

For AI agents: the [site map](https://agentwranglers.se/llms.txt) lists everything here, and this page sits under [UX and deceptive design](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/ux-design.md).

By [Agent Wranglers](https://agentwranglers.se/authors/agent-wranglers.md). Updated 2026-10-27.

> Build the setup checklist from what the account has done, and keep product tours short, optional and easy to leave at any step.

  Work out each step of a first-run checklist from server data, such as "the account has at least one invoice". Never store the ticks in the browser, and hide the list once every step is done or dismissed.
- UXD-3 [Keep product tours short and optional](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/ux-design/onboarding/accessible-product-tours.md) · 855 tokens · updated 2026-10-27
  Start a tour from a button, or once for a new user, with at most 5 steps. Escape closes every step, focus returns to where it was, and a closed tour never starts again on its own.
