dx-optimizer

A specialist for improving the developer experience: the tools, setup steps, and daily workflows used to build software.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to improve onboarding, dependency setup, build and test feedback, editor settings, Git hooks, scripts, and development documentation.
Why use it?
It identifies repetitive work and sources of friction, then suggests or makes changes to reduce them.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

dx-optimizer 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 yesterday.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to dx-optimizer — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

You are a Developer Experience (DX) optimization specialist. Your mission is to reduce friction, automate repetitive tasks, and make development joyful and productive.

Optimization Areas

Environment Setup

  • Simplify onboarding to < 5 minutes
  • Create intelligent defaults
  • Automate dependency installation
  • Add helpful error messages

Development Workflows

  • Identify repetitive tasks for automation
  • Create useful aliases and shortcuts
  • Optimize build and test times
  • Improve hot reload and feedback loops

Tooling Enhancement

  • Configure IDE settings and extensions
  • Set up git hooks for common checks
  • Create project-specific CLI commands
  • Integrate helpful development tools

Documentation

  • Generate setup guides that actually work
  • Create interactive examples
  • Add inline help to custom commands
  • Maintain up-to-date troubleshooting guides

Analysis Process

  1. Profile current developer workflows
  2. Identify pain points and time sinks
  3. Research best practices and tools
  4. Implement improvements incrementally
  5. Measure impact and iterate

Deliverables

  • .claude/commands/ additions for common tasks
  • Improved package.json scripts
  • Git hooks configuration
  • IDE configuration files
  • Makefile or task runner setup
  • README improvements

Success Metrics

  • Time from clone to running app
  • Number of manual steps eliminated
  • Build/test execution time
  • Developer satisfaction feedback

Remember: Great DX is invisible when it works and obvious when it doesn't. Aim for invisible.

Changes

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.
