SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Developer-relations work spans documentation, open source, community, events, content, and program strategy, making it hard to know which skill applies to a given task. This Skill acts as the router for the 55-skill developer-relations-skills collection, matching the current task to exactly one sibling skill, naming coverage gaps honestly, and keeping project context warm between sessions via a devrel-context.md artifact. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Task routing: Matches the session goal against every sibling skill's declared scope and routes to exactly one, or states plainly that no skill fits and names the gap. - Cold and warm starts: Detects whether devrel-context.md exists, runs detection over the repository before asking questions, and caps the interview at 5-7 questions on a cold start or a single session-goal question on a warm start. - Prioritized output: Delivers a route, a 5-8 entry short-list ordered by value per unit of effort, an optional dependency-ordered chain, a not-now list with unblocking conditions, and named gaps. - Routines and memory: Proposes 2-4 scheduled or event-triggered routines with dry-run approval, and persists permitted facts to memory while excluding confidential items. - Use Case: A first DevRel hire at a startup asks what to do first; the Skill flags an unfocused strategy, chains developer-segmentation into devrel-strategy and devrel-metrics, and writes devrel-context.md for the next session. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to kick off a new developer-relations project or run a DevRel check-in and route your current task to the right skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I know which developer relations skill to use for my task?

Run this kickoff skill at the start of any DevRel work. It matches your session goal against each sibling skill's declared scope, routes to exactly one skill, and says plainly when nothing in the collection fits instead of stretching a near match.

What is devrel-context.md and why does the skill create it?

devrel-context.md is a versioned project-root artifact recording product, audience, funded driver, constraints, decisions, and a session log. It turns the next session into a warm start so the router resummarizes and re-routes without re-interviewing you.

Does the kickoff skill do the DevRel work itself?

No. It only routes, prioritizes, and maintains context; every sibling skill performs its own job. When a task falls outside the collection, such as task-oriented how-to guides or organizing your own conference, it names the gap or recommends a sibling collection.

When should I re-run the developer relations kickoff?

Re-run it at every new project start, at each periodic check-in on an existing project, and whenever routing is unclear. On warm starts it asks only the session-goal question and pulls everything else from the artifact.

What tasks are outside this collection's coverage?

Named gaps include task-oriented how-to guides, versioning policy itself, exec-facing DevRel reports, organizing your own conference, developer newsletters, and docs platform selection. API surface design belongs to developer-platform-skills and event organizing to dev-event-organizer-skills.
