description	Live developer-experience audit for Codex. Use when docs, setup, onboarding, CLI, API, or SDK workflows should be tested as a real user would experience them.

DevEx Review

Use this skill when a developer-facing product or workflow should be tested end to end instead of only discussed abstractly.

This port is adapted from garrytan/gstack at commit 4d2c8d94d00cc4f4f3d4c26316a4f939ceedc045.

Workflow

1. Identify the target onboarding or usage path.
2. Follow the docs or expected setup steps as literally as possible.
3. Measure the real developer experience:
   • time to first working result
   • confusing steps
   • missing prerequisites
   • error quality
   • help text and recovery path
4. Record evidence and score the experience.
5. Fix the highest-value DX issues when the user wants changes; otherwise report them cleanly.

Guardrails

• Test the workflow the way a new developer would, not the way an expert maintainer would.
• Prefer evidence and concrete repro steps over vague DX impressions.
• If setup is blocked by missing credentials or environment, say so explicitly.

Outputs

Always include:

• path tested
• time-to-first-working-result estimate
• biggest DX blockers
• fixes made or recommended
• follow-up tests still needed
