Coming in starkers, good way to get attention? (5)

I believe the answer is:

nudge

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'attention?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'coming in starkers good' is the wordplay.
'coming in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'starkers' becomes 'nude' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'nude' going around 'g' is 'NUDGE'.

'way to get' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nudge that I've seen before include "Push with the elbow" , "Slight push" , "Jostle" , "Jog" , "suggestive move" .)
