SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Speed bumps in developer onboarding and DX gaps across docs, tooling, and setup processes can slow teams. This skill identifies, measures, and reports on onboarding friction and DX gaps so teams can improve onboarding speed and developer satisfaction.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Live developer experience audit with timing, evidence collection, and error messaging evaluation.
  • DX scorecard generation with actionable recommendations to improve onboarding, docs, and CLI usability.
  • Onboarding time benchmarking across common developer paths and environments.

Quick Start

Run a live DX audit on the repository to generate a scorecard and recommended improvements

FAQPage Schema
How do I measure developer onboarding friction in my repository?

Developer onboarding friction is measured by testing getting-started guides, CLI help outputs, and error messages across typical developer paths. This process generates a reproducible DX scorecard with actionable recommendations to improve setup speed and developer satisfaction.

What is a developer experience audit and how does it work?

A developer experience audit evaluates documentation, onboarding flows, and CLI usage to identify speed bumps and DX gaps. It collects timing data, evidence, and error messaging evaluations to benchmark onboarding time and produce a scorecard with targeted improvements.

How do I benchmark onboarding time across different developer environments?

Onboarding time benchmarking tracks developer paths through setup automation, docs, and CLI usage. By applying a live DX audit across common environments, you get measurable timing data and a scorecard highlighting where onboarding processes slow developers down.

Do I need telemetry data to generate a DX scorecard for my project?

Yes, generating a reproducible DX scorecard requires access to repository docs, CLI outputs, and consented telemetry data. These inputs allow the audit to evaluate developer paths, error messages, and setup automation accurately.

What's the best way to improve CLI usability and error messages for developers?

The best way to improve CLI usability is running a DX audit that evaluates CLI help outputs and error messages. The resulting scorecard provides actionable recommendations targeting specific friction points in developer tooling and setup flows.

Can I audit getting-started guides and setup automation without existing tooling?

Auditing getting-started guides and setup automation requires repository docs, CLI outputs, and consented telemetry data. Without these inputs, the DX scorecard cannot accurately measure onboarding friction or produce reproducible improvement recommendations.
