Offboarding: AI Skill for UX Design
Offboarding is an AI skill that designs cancel, unsubscribe, and delete-account flows. It keeps the exit findable, destructive actions deliberate, and retention offers honest, so leaving preserves goodwill instead of breaking trust.

What this skill does
Helps an AI assistant design cancel, unsubscribe, and delete-account flows that stay respectful, honest, and recoverable.
- Shows the exit plainly in settings or billing with a clear label.
- Keeps the tone gracious: no blame, no guilt-trips, no begging.
- Matches confirmation friction to reversibility: light for cancel, deliberate for delete.
- Explains what happens to data, access, and billing before the final step.
- Asks why users leave with an optional, skippable feedback form.
- Offers pause, downgrade, or deactivation alongside an honest delete.
- Closes with gratitude, a reactivation path, and a follow-up email.
- Flags every retention move that could tip into manipulation.
When to use it
Use it when you need an AI assistant to:
- design a cancel or unsubscribe flow;
- create a delete-account experience;
- review an exit flow for dark patterns;
- add a retention offer that respects the user;
- choose between pause, downgrade, and delete;
- write consequence and confirmation copy.
Decisions this skill helps you make
| Decision | Options |
|---|---|
| Retention incentive | One friendly, one-tap-to-decline offer, or none, never a gauntlet |
| Value reminder | A short factual note on what they lose or keep, never a plea |
| Confirmation friction | Light for a reversible cancel, type-to-confirm or password re-entry for permanent deletion |
| Alternatives to leaving | Pause, deactivate, or downgrade alongside an honest delete |
| Feedback request | Optional preset reasons plus "Other", always skippable |
| Win-back follow-up | A single reactivation email with a clear unsubscribe, or none |
How the skill works
1
Establish reversibility
The skill identifies what's being offboarded and how reversible the action really is.
2
Apply the core
It makes the exit findable, explains consequences, and matches roadblocks to the damage.
3
Gate retention moves
It presents incentives, value reminders, and pause options with trade-offs so nothing manipulates.
