Live developer experience audit. (gstack).

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

<!-- AUTO-GENERATED from SKILL.md.tmpl — do not edit directly -->
<!-- Regenerate: bun run gen:skill-docs -->

## When to invoke this skill

Actually TESTS the developer experience
in the Aside browser: navigates docs, tries the getting started flow, times
TTHW, screenshots error messages, evaluates CLI help text. Produces a DX
scorecard with evidence. Compares against /plan-devex-review scores if they
exist (the boomerang: plan said 3 minutes, reality says 8). Use when asked to
"test the DX", "DX audit", "developer experience test", or "try the
onboarding". Proactively suggest after shipping a developer-facing feature.

Voice triggers (speech-to-text aliases): "dx audit", "test the developer experience", "try the onboarding", "developer experience test".

## Preamble (run first)

```bash
~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-skill-start --skill "devex-review" --model "claude"
```

Read the echoed `KEY: value` STATUS lines — they drive every preamble rule
below. **Degraded mode:** if `SKILL_START_PROTO: 1` is missing from the output
(script absent, stale install, or a different protocol number), apply safe
defaults: treat `SESSION_KIND` as `interactive`, do NOT assume Conductor,
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add garrytan/gstack/devex-review@sha256:c5328a174cba57be

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
