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 Return a developer credibility audit with trustjourney, surfacefindings, claimevidenceregister, pricingandrisk, and repairbacklog, 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 Return a field-to-product learning system with signaltaxonomy, evidenceclusters, rootcausereview, routingbacklog, monthlycadence, and learningscorecard.
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 Return a DevTool adoption motion with motionfitmap, handoffrules, championpacket, standardi
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 Return a workflow wedge brief with workflowmap, wedgescorecard, proofmoment, adoptionburden, socialpath, 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 Return an OSS commercial design with trustcontract, communitycommercialsignals, burdenpaidmap, pricingcomparison, billscenarios, and recommendation.
Human review
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.
