The prompt

Design the first run for {{product}}.

The first real moment of value is {{firstWin}}. What genuinely has to happen
first: {{required}}

Give me the shortest path to that moment. For every step, say why it cannot be
deferred — anything that can be asked for later should be. Then say what the
screen shows before the user has any data at all.

Name any step you would cut even though it is conventional.

What to fill in

{{product}}
Product — e.g. SnipTray
{{firstWin}}
The first real moment of value — e.g. pasting something they copied ten minutes ago
{{required}}
What genuinely must be set up first — e.g. accessibility permission, for pasting
