dx-roaster
What the author says it does
Brutally honest developer-experience audit for a GitHub repo. Scores 10 DX dimensions (time-to-first-success, README clarity, visual proof, install, quick-start, docs, examples, community, trust, marketing), writes a shareable roast in the requested tone (brutal/honest/kind), produces a prioritized action plan ranked by impact × effort, and sketches an ideal README. Trigger when user says "roast my repo", "audit my README", "dx audit", "developer experience review", "score my GitHub project", "before launch checklist", or "make my repo shareable".

SkillProof status
This skill is in our test queue. We install every skill in a clean environment, run a trigger battery and score output against a baseline before it earns a catalog page — the full protocol is public. Until then, treat it like any unreviewed dependency: read the SKILL.md and any scripts before installing.
