SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Developer experience gaps in APIs, CLIs, SDKs, and platforms often go unnoticed until they cause poor adoption, support burden, or user churn. This Skill provides a structured framework to systematically audit DX, identify friction points, and prioritize improvements before they impact users.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Three Review Modes: DX EXPANSION for competitive advantage, DX POLISH for bulletproofing every touchpoint, and DX TRIAGE for critical gaps only.
  • Persona Exploration: Understand different developer personas and their unique needs.
  • Competitive Benchmarking: Compare against gold standards like Stripe, Vercel, and Clerk.
  • Magical Moment Design: Identify and design delightful onboarding and workflow experiences.
  • Friction Point Tracing: Systematically trace and score friction across the developer journey.
  • Use Case: A platform team launching a new CLI can use this Skill to audit the onboarding flow, compare against GitHub CLI's tab-completion experience, and prioritize fixes that reduce time-to-first-success.

Quick Start

Use the plan-devex-review skill to audit the developer experience of your API and identify the top three friction points preventing adoption.
