SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Developer onboarding quality is usually judged by intuition rather than evidence. This Skill performs a live developer experience audit: it actually walks through your documentation, getting-started flow, and CLI help text like a new user would, measures time-to-hello-world (TTHW), captures screenshots of errors, and produces a scored DX report with evidence. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Live DX Testing: Uses a browse tool to navigate docs, attempt the getting-started flow, and evaluate CLI help output as a real developer would. - Evidence-Based Scorecard: Times TTHW, screenshots error messages, and produces a DX scorecard backed by concrete artifacts rather than opinions. - Plan-vs-Reality Comparison: Compares results against prior /plan-devex-review scores (the boomerang: plan said 3 minutes, reality says 8). - Use Case: After shipping a developer-facing feature or SDK, ask for a DX audit to discover that the README's install command fails on a clean machine before your users do. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run a DX audit that tests the onboarding flow and times how long it takes a new developer to reach hello world.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit developer experience for my SDK or CLI?

Run a DX audit that walks the getting-started flow like a new user: navigate the docs, run the install commands, and time how long until hello world works. This Skill produces a scorecard with screenshots and TTHW measurements as evidence.

What is time-to-hello-world and how is it measured?

Time-to-hello-world (TTHW) measures how long a new developer takes to get a first working result from your product. This Skill measures it by actually executing the onboarding flow with a browse tool and recording elapsed time.

How does the DX audit compare planned vs actual onboarding time?

If a prior /plan-devex-review produced estimated scores, the audit compares them against measured reality. For example, if the plan claimed 3 minutes to onboard but the live test takes 8, the gap is surfaced in the scorecard.

When should I run a developer experience test?

Run it after shipping any developer-facing feature, before a public launch, or when onboarding metrics look weak. It can also be suggested proactively after shipping developer-facing changes.

What evidence does a DX scorecard include?

The scorecard includes screenshots of error messages encountered, measured TTHW, evaluation of CLI help text quality, and notes from navigating the documentation, so findings are verifiable rather than subjective.
