PLG fails when each component is designed in isolation. Onboarding is built without reference to the freemium limits; upgrade triggers are bolted on; virality is wishful thinking. The result is a PLG motion that converts at single digits when calibrated motions convert at double.
The /surge-plg skill designs the motion as a system. Self-serve onboarding that delivers value without a sales rep. Freemium tier with limits that motivate upgrade. Upgrade triggers based on usage signals. In-product virality mechanics. Expansion revenue path from free to paid. Grounded in what the product does.
Tonone's /surge-plg skill designs PLG motions with onboarding, freemium, upgrade triggers, virality, and expansion.

Growth systems that compound. Acquisition loops, activation funnels, and retention hooks that don't stop working.
The metrics that matter, the funnels that leak, and the cohorts no one noticed were churning.
What to build, in what order, and why: with frameworks that survive board-level scrutiny.
