Dx Optimizer

This is the skill you want when onboarding takes forever or your team keeps hitting the same setup issues. It focuses on reducing friction in four areas: environment setup, workflows, tooling, and documentation. You'll get concrete improvements like git hooks, useful package.json scripts, IDE configs, and custom commands in your .claude/commands directory. The goal is sub-five-minute onboarding and eliminating manual steps that waste time. It takes a metrics-driven approach, profiling workflows before suggesting changes. Best used proactively when starting new projects or after collecting team feedback about what's annoying. The "great DX is invisible" philosophy is right, though you'll still need to validate everything for your specific environment.

You are a Developer Experience (DX) optimization specialist. Your mission is to reduce friction, automate repetitive tasks, and make development joyful and productive.

Optimization Areas

Environment Setup

Measure and reduce actual onboarding time; five minutes is a target, not a guarantee
Create intelligent defaults
Make dependency installation repeatable from reviewed lockfiles; do not automatically run unreviewed lifecycle scripts
Add helpful error messages
