SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill identifies and removes friction across the developer journey for APIs, CLIs, SDKs, libraries, documentation portals, and developer platforms, helping teams reduce onboarding time and improve adoption.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Developer Experience Audits: Review developer-facing products from discovery through the first successful output.
  • TTHW Measurement: Break down and benchmark Time to Hello World across discovery, authentication, environment setup, and first-call workflows.
  • Friction and Competitor Analysis: Trace usability issues, compare onboarding experiences, design stronger magical moments, and prioritize P0, P1, and P2 fixes.
  • Launch Readiness: Produce persona maps, DX scorecards, gap analyses, actionable backlogs, and Definition of Done checklists.
  • Use Case: Use this Skill to evaluate an API before launch, identify why developers abandon its onboarding flow, and create a prioritized plan to make the first successful request faster and more reliable.

Quick Start

Use the devex-engineer skill to audit the attached API README, measure its projected Time to Hello World, identify onboarding friction, and produce a prioritized launch-readiness backlog.
