Use to AUDIT an existing developer-experience surface — audit it for friction and score it, debug a reported developer-facing issue, or run a pre-ship edge-case risk pass. Covers APIs, SDKs, CLIs, developer docs, examples, errors, setup, local inner-loop, migrations, package contracts, contributor flows, auth, IDE integration, plugins, perf perception, telemetry, README/first-impressions, logging, config, and changelogs. Triggers on "DX review", "audit our API/SDK/CLI", "is this error message OK", "why do users hit this", "pre-1.0 risk pass". Do NOT use to DESIGN a new surface from scratch (use dx-design), for end-user product UX/accessibility (use ux-audit), or for AI-agent-facing surfaces, AGENTS.md, or AI/Agent SDK design (use agent-experience).

From the source SKILL.md

Developer-experience audit, debugging, and edge-case risk-scan for any surface a developer installs, calls, debugs, extends, or maintains. Provenance lives in skill.json; this file is runtime routing only.
