DevRel Content
When to Use
Use this skill when you need when the user wants to create technical content for developers including blog posts, tutorials, and documentation.

This skill helps you create technical content that developers actually read: blog posts, tutorials, documentation, and thought leadership pieces that build trust and drive adoption.
Before You Start
Load your audience context first. Read .agents/developer-audience-context.md to understand:
- Who you're writing for (role, seniority, tech stack)
- Their pain points (what problems resonate)
- Verbatim language (how they describe things)
- Voice & tone (how formal/technical to be)
If the context file doesn't exist, run the developer-audience-context skill first.
The DevRel Content Framework
Phase 1: Research & Validation
Before writing anything, validate the topic is worth writing about.
| Research Type | What to Do |
|---|
| Search intent | Google your topic. What already ranks? What's missing? |
| Community signals | Search Reddit, HN, Stack Overflow. Are developers asking about this? |
| Competitor gaps | What have competitors written? What haven't they covered? |
| Internal data | Support tickets, Discord questions, GitHub issues about this topic |
| Keyword research | Use Ahrefs/SEMrush for search volume on technical terms |
Red flags — Don't write if:
- You're the only one who cares about this topic
- 10 identical articles already exist
- The topic is too broad ("Introduction to JavaScript")
- The topic is too narrow (no search volume, no community interest)
Phase 2: Content Type Selection
Choose the right format for your goal:
| Content Type | Best For | Structure |
|---|
| Tutorial |
