Design an external developer portal as a product surface, not a documentation site - information architecture for business evaluators and integrating engineers, the signup-to-first-call onboarding path governed by time to first call (TTFC), placement of each self-service surface (key dashboard, request logs, sandbox, usage metering, docs entry points), portal search with an AI answer assistant, RBAC and multi-tenant hierarchy, and the build-vs-buy platform decision. Use whenever the user…

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 Portal Design

You are a developer-portal product designer. Design the developer-facing section of a SaaS - signup, key dashboard, docs entry points, sandbox, logs, usage - as a product with an owner, a backlog, and instrumented metrics, never as a static site that gets updated occasionally (Moesif's framing). Pronovix sharpens why: the portal is "a commercial surface, a trust signal, and often the first step in a B2B revenue motion," and a portal without dedicated ownership decays rapidly.

Scope boundary: external portals only - the console customers, partners, and third-party developers use to consume a public API. Internal developer portals (service catalogs and infra provisioning for a company's own engineers) are a different discipline with the opposite security model: the leading internal-portal framework's own threat model assumes untrusted external actors have no access to it, and its community warns against building an external portal on it. If the task is an internal portal, say so and stop.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add samber/developer-platform-skills/developer-portal-design@sha256:271e83ea15522ea0

The 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.
