What problem does it solve?
Most teams overestimate their developer experience because they only review written docs instead of testing the actual onboarding flow real users go through. This skill eliminates that blind spot by running live, end-to-end DX tests to surface real friction points.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Live DX Testing: Uses the browse tool to navigate documentation, run the getting started flow, measure time-to-hello-world, capture error screenshots, and evaluate CLI help text quality.
- Evidence-Based Scorecards: Generates a structured DX scorecard with concrete proof of issues instead of vague feedback.
- Expectation vs Reality Checks: Compares audit results against prior /plan-devex-review scores to catch gaps between planned and actual developer experience.
- Use Case: Run this audit immediately after shipping a new developer-facing feature to catch onboarding friction before external developers encounter it.
Quick Start
Use the devex-review skill to run a live audit of your project's developer onboarding flow and generate a scorecard with concrete evidence of any friction points.
