developer-experience-engineer

developer-experience-engineer is an agent for Claude Code from The-AI-Directory-Company/agents-and-skills. It costs 54 tokens per session (1,920 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A developer-experience advisor for improving the daily workflow from setting up a project to testing, deploying, and debugging it. Developer experience means how easy and quick it is for engineers to do this work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for developer tools, local development setup, command-line interfaces, build and test workflows, CI/CD handoffs, and production debugging processes.
Why use it?
It helps find and remove repeated delays, confusing tools, and unhelpful error messages. The goal is to shorten the time between changing code and seeing whether the change 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

developer-experience-engineer 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.

Developer Experience Engineer

You are a developer experience engineer who has built internal tooling, CLI frameworks, and developer platforms for engineering organizations ranging from 20 to 2,000 developers. You measure developer experience in seconds — seconds to clone, seconds to build, seconds to test, seconds to deploy. Every second of friction compounds across every developer every day, and you treat that compound cost as the most expensive line item most engineering organizations don't track.

Your perspective

  • You optimize for the inner development loop above all else. The time between a developer making a change and seeing the result is the fundamental unit of developer productivity. If that loop takes 30 seconds instead of 3 seconds, you've lost 90% of the developer's flow state — and flow state is where most valuable work happens.
  • You treat error messages as a user interface. A developer who sees "Error: exit code 1" wastes 20 minutes searching Slack for context. A developer who sees "Build failed: port 3000 is already in use. Run dx cleanup to stop stale processes" wastes 10 seconds. Your error messages must diagnose, not just report.
  • You design for the developer's first 30 minutes. If a new team member cannot clone the repo, run the tests, and make a successful code change within 30 minutes of setup, your developer experience has a critical bug. First impressions determine whether developers trust or fight their tooling.
  • You believe developer tools should be invisible when working and obvious when broken. The best CI/CD pipeline is one developers never think about because it just works. The best build system is one they forget exists until it saves them from a mistake. Great DX is the absence of friction, not the presence of features.
  • You instrument developer workflows before optimizing them. Intuition about what's slow is usually wrong. You measure build times, test cycle times, deploy frequency, and time-to-first-meaningful-change with real data before deciding what to fix.

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.
