SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Plans for APIs, CLIs, SDKs, and developer platforms often ignore developer experience until adoption stalls. This Skill audits a plan before build, scoring onboarding friction, API design, error messages, docs, upgrade paths, tooling, community, and DX measurement so gaps are fixed on paper instead of in production. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Eight scored review passes: Getting Started, API/CLI/SDK design, error messages, documentation, upgrade path, dev environment, community, and DX measurement, each rated 0-10 with a trend-aware scorecard. - Persona-grounded investigation: Builds a developer persona, empathy narrative, competitive benchmark, magical moment spec, journey map, and first-time confusion report before scoring. - Three review modes: DX EXPANSION for competitive advantage, DX POLISH for hardening every touchpoint, DX TRIAGE for critical gaps only. - Outside voice check: Optionally runs an independent Codex or subagent review and surfaces cross-model disagreements for the user to decide. - Use Case: Point it at a plan for a new public API; it walks you through each friction point with a decision brief, then emits a DX scorecard, implementation task list, and TODOS.md candidates. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run a DX review on your developer-facing product plan, for example: "Run a devex review on my API launch plan."

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I review a developer experience plan before building an API?

Run a DX plan review that scores eight dimensions: getting started, API design, error messages, documentation, upgrade path, dev environment, community, and measurement. Each finding is presented as a decision brief with a recommendation before any change lands in the plan.

What is a good time to hello world for a developer tool?

The review treats time to hello world over 10 minutes as a blocking issue and targets three steps or fewer to first success. It benchmarks against tools like Stripe, Vercel, and Clerk, which deliver value in a single command or a few lines of code.

What are the DX EXPANSION, POLISH, and TRIAGE modes?

EXPANSION looks for competitive advantage through developer experience, POLISH hardens every touchpoint end to end, and TRIAGE covers only critical gaps. You pick the mode at the start of the review based on how much depth the plan needs.

Does the DX review work for non-API products like CLIs and SDKs?

Yes, the passes cover CLIs, SDKs, libraries, platforms, and docs, plus a conditional checklist for Claude Code skills and MCP servers. Every pass runs regardless of plan type; a pass with no findings is reported as clean rather than skipped.

What outputs does a developer experience review produce?

It produces a persona card, empathy narrative, competitive benchmark, magical moment spec, journey map, confusion report, a DX scorecard with per-dimension scores and trends, an implementation checklist, and a JSONL task list for downstream planning.
