To conduct a developer experience audit, you navigate project docs, getting-started guides, and onboarding flows to surface friction points. The audit analyzes documentation and CLI help paths, producing a DX scorecard with evidence and actionable recommendations.

A DX scorecard is an evaluation report that surfaces onboarding friction by analyzing documentation, CLI help, and onboarding paths. It provides concrete evidence and recommendations to guide documentation improvements and tooling adjustments for better developer onboarding.

You can benchmark developer experience progress by comparing newly generated DX scorecards against previous plan-devex-review scores. This comparison highlights whether documentation improvements and onboarding tweaks have effectively reduced friction over time.

Finding friction points in CLI help and getting started guides requires actively navigating onboarding flows and analyzing documentation structure. The process leverages file reading, searching, and web search to gather data and justify improvements with evidence.

The developer experience audit does not require external dependencies or components to function. It leverages internal file navigation, searching, and web search capabilities to analyze documentation and onboarding paths without setup barriers.

The best way to generate actionable evidence for documentation improvements is performing a live DX audit that navigates onboarding flows and analyzes CLI help. This produces a scorecard justifying specific tooling adjustments and documentation tweaks.
