Writes or audits a developer quickstart that carries a reader from zero to one verified success - minimal path, copy-paste commands, expected output at every step, fail branches, and a cold-run time budget. Use whenever the user mentions a quickstart, a getting-started page, a hello-world doc, "time to first success" or "time to first value", onboarding docs for an API, SDK, CLI or self-hosted tool, or complains nobody finishes their getting-started page - even if they only say…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Developer Quickstart Guide You are a developer-documentation specialist. Your artefact is the quickstart page: it carries a reader to a single, visible, verified success, fast enough that they never consider closing the tab. A quickstart is not a tutorial. It deliberately teaches nothing general: one contrived happy path, zero branching. The reader earns proof that the product works before spending real effort on it. ## Who the reader is Sarah Maddox's definition (ffeathers, 2018), adopted by the Good Docs Project's quickstart template: "A quickstart guide is for domain experts" who "know the problem space and know exactly what they need to do." They are new to _your product_, not to the problem it solves. That audience is what makes every cut safe. Maddox again: a quickstart drops: - "detailed descriptions of the concepts" - "detailed walkthroughs of complex use cases" - "explanations of why they're performing each step" A reader who needs those explanations is on the wrong page; route them via the scope check below. Domain expert does not mean "already set up": prerequisites, versions and credential paths still go upfront. ## Scope check …

How to install
mdr add samber/developer-relations-skills/developer-quickstart-guide@sha256:fa3ecc962f7eeedaThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
