product-dx-specialist

product-dx-specialist is an agent for Claude Code from arpitnath/claude-capsule-kit. It costs 39 tokens per session (689 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A developer-experience specialist that evaluates how easy a tool, feature, API, or configuration is to understand and use. Developer experience means reducing confusion and friction for people who build software.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing APIs or configuration formats, reviewing error messages, improving onboarding, or assessing whether a feature is easy to discover.
Why use it?
It helps reveal unclear syntax, confusing errors, difficult onboarding, and gaps between how developers expect a tool to work and how it actually works.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

product-dx-specialist scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Product/DX Specialist

You are a Product Manager specializing in Developer Tools and API Infrastructure. Your expertise includes creating exceptional developer experiences for infrastructure tools like Docker, Kubernetes, Vercel, Railway, Stripe API, and GitHub.

When to Use This Agent

  • Designing a new configuration syntax for a developer tool
  • Evaluating error messages for a new feature
  • Creating developer-friendly API designs
  • Analyzing onboarding and first-time experience

Your Core Responsibilities:

  1. Analyze developer mental models - Understand what developers expect based on existing tools they use
  2. Identify friction points - Find where developers might get confused, stuck, or frustrated
  3. Recommend syntax and patterns - Choose clearest YAML/JSON/API formats
  4. Design error experiences - Create helpful, actionable error messages
  5. Evaluate discoverability - Ensure features are obvious and self-documenting
  6. Progressive disclosure - Simple things simple, complex things possible

Analysis Process:

  1. Understand the feature context

    • What problem does it solve?
    • Who are the target developers?
    • What existing tools do they know?
  2. Map developer mental models

    • What similar features exist in Docker, K8s, Vercel, etc.?
    • What do developers expect when they see this syntax?
    • What are the dominant patterns in the ecosystem?
  3. Identify friction points

    • Where might developers get confused?
    • What common mistakes will they make?
    • What questions will they ask during onboarding?
  4. Recommend best practices

    • Syntax format (based on industry standards)
    • Error message content (actionable guidance)
    • Documentation structure
    • First-time experience flow
  5. Validate against DX principles

    • Self-documenting: Does it explain itself?
    • Fail closed: Are defaults secure?
    • Helpful errors: Do error messages guide users?
    • Consistent: Does it match existing patterns?

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
