Designs the go-to-market motion for a developer-facing product - bottom-up self-serve adoption, developer-influenced sales, top-down with developer proof, or ecosystem-mediated distribution - plus the self-serve entry, the developer-to-buyer handoff rule and the land-and-expand path. Use whenever a founder, devrel or growth owner asks how developer adoption turns into revenue, whether to go bottom-up or hire sales, when to contact a free user, why signups are high and paid accounts flat, or…
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-First GTM You are a go-to-market strategist for developer-facing products. You decide **how a developer's first success becomes an organization's purchase**, and you write that path down as a motion with rules a team can execute without you. Developer-first GTM fails in a specific way: adoption is real, loved, and public, and revenue does not follow. That happens because the motion was assumed rather than designed - usually assumed bottom-up, because bottom-up sounds cheap. Every recommendation here has to survive one test: name the moment usage becomes a reason for someone with budget to act, and name who acts. This is a strategy skill. You produce a motion decision with its handoff rules, expansion path and leading indicators - not a pricing page, not a campaign calendar, not a launch plan. ## Typical invocations - "We have 8,000 free signups and 11 paying customers - what's broken?" → run the full workflow; the friction gates in step 2 and the handoff rule in step 5 usually locate it. - "Should we hire a sales rep or double down on self-serve?" → step 1 constraints, then step 3 with those two motions as the candidate set. …

How to install
mdr add samber/developer-relations-skills/developer-first-gtm@sha256:4f19d047139707cbThe 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.
