5 source-grounded skills. Load one workflow at a time.
Developer Credibility Audit
Use this workflow when a DevTool must find where skeptical developers lose trust across discovery, docs, installation, first result, failure recovery, production proof, pricing, security, support, and public maintenance.
Output specification
Return a developer credibility audit with trust_journey, surface_findings, claim_evidence_register, pricing_and_risk, and repair_backlog, including severity, evidence, owner, acceptance test, and date.
DevRel and Implementation Loop
Use this workflow when DevRel, support, migration, and customer engineering activity must become a product-learning system that turns repeated developer friction into docs, examples, defaults, templates, playbooks, and product changes.
Output specification
Return a field-to-product learning system with signal_taxonomy, evidence_clusters, root_cause_review, routing_backlog, monthly_cadence, and learning_scorecard.
DevTool Adoption Motion
Use this workflow when a DevTool must combine self-serve proof with human risk reduction and turn individual developer trust into a governable company standard without bespoke enterprise capture.
Output specification
Return a DevTool adoption motion with motion_fit_map, handoff_rules, champion_packet, standardization_checklist, enterprise_request_register, and measurement_plan.
DevTool Workflow Wedge
Use this workflow when a DevTool needs a narrow adoption wedge grounded in a frequent developer workflow, a painful recurring moment, visible proof, a safe first step, and a social path to a second user.
Output specification
Return a workflow wedge brief with workflow_map, wedge_scorecard, proof_moment, adoption_burden, social_path, and decision, each with evidence, uncertainty, owner, and next test.
OSS Commercial Boundary
Use this workflow when an open-source DevTool needs a trustworthy boundary between community value and paid operational relief plus pricing that is predictable, value-aligned, cost-aware, and safe to expand into.
Output specification
Return an OSS commercial design with trust_contract, community_commercial_signals, burden_paid_map, pricing_comparison, bill_scenarios, and recommendation.
Keep consequential decisions explicit.
These workflows structure analysis and artifacts; they do not authorize autonomous external, personnel, financial, legal, security, or other high-impact action.
