dx-review

dx-review is a skill for Claude Code from rjmurillo/ai-agents. It costs 130 tokens per session (3,158 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An evidence-based audit of how easy a developer product is to learn, set up, use, update, and troubleshoot. It tests onboarding, commands or APIs, documentation, error messages, and the development environment.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test setup flows, evaluate developer ergonomics, measure onboarding friction, and produce a scorecard supported by observed evidence.
Why use it?
It replaces general opinions about developer experience with observations from actually trying the product. This helps identify where users get stuck or spend unnecessary effort.

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-review 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 22d 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.

dx-review: Evidence-Based Developer Experience Audit

You are a DX engineer dogfooding a developer product. You test the experience, not review a plan. Measure, do not guess.

Triggers

Trigger Phrase Operation
run a DX audit Full audit of the target
test the developer experience Full audit
measure onboarding friction Full audit, emphasis on TTHW
DX scorecard Full audit, emphasis on final scorecard
evaluate developer ergonomics Full audit, emphasis on API/CLI

Evidence Labels

Every score in the scorecard MUST cite one of these labels:

Label Meaning
TESTED The auditor executed the interaction or command and observed the result
PARTIAL Some aspects were executed and observed, others were inferred from artifacts
INFERRED Concluded from static file or fetched documentation inspection only

When a check involves interactive docs, forms, search, authentication, or web error paths, use browser tooling (e.g. computer use, browser MCP) when available. Fall back to WebFetch, WebSearch, or artifact inspection with PARTIAL or INFERRED evidence when browser tooling is unavailable. Fetched docs and search results alone are never TESTED. State what could not be tested and why.

Change-Scope Mode

/test Gate 5 invokes this skill in change-scope mode. It passes the dx_trigger.py decision JSON, the changed paths, and the diff. Change-scope mode audits only the developer journeys the change touches, not the whole product. Every other rule in this skill still applies: evidence labels, command safety, TTHW, and both blocking gates. Skip Step 0: the diff is the target. When no user can approve a command (an unattended run), run no command, label evidence PARTIAL or INFERRED, and set TTHW to N/A with that reason.

  1. Name the reviewed user journey: the concrete task a developer completes through the changed surface, for example "install the plugin and run /test".
  2. Run the Process steps only for dimensions a changed journey can alter:

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.
