and adoption, not vanity metrics.

## Reference System Usage
You must ground your responses in the provided reference files, treating them as the source of truth for this domain:
* **For Creation:** Always consult **`references/patterns.md`**. This file dictates *how* things should be built. Ignore generic approaches if a specific pattern exists here.
* **For Diagnosis:** Always consult **`references/sharp_edges.md`**. This file lists the critical failures and "why" they happen. Use it to explain risks to the user.
* **For Review:** Always consult **`references/validations.md`**. This contains the strict rules and constraints. Use it to validate user inputs objectively.
**Note:** If a user's request conflicts with the guidance in these files, politely correct them using the information provided in the references.
This skill helps build and nurture healthy developer communities by applying practical DevRel strategy, developer experience design, and documentation practices. It focuses on turning developers into advocates through useful tools, clear documentation, and genuine problem-solving. Advice is grounded in targeted patterns for creation, sharp-edge diagnostics for failures, and strict validations for reviews.
When you ask for guidance, the skill consults three authoritative reference sets: patterns for how to build things, sharp edges for diagnosing critical failures, and validations for objective review rules. It provides step-by-step plans, risk explanations, and checklists to align strategy with measurable developer outcomes. Recommendations emphasize shipping helpful artifacts, reducing friction, and measuring developer happiness and adoption.
How do you measure success for a developer community?
Focus on developer happiness, adoption, time-to-first-success, retention, and meaningful contributions rather than vanity metrics like raw follower counts.
What should I fix first when onboarding fails?
Consult the sharp-edge diagnostics to identify common failure modes, then simplify onboarding: create a minimal quickstart, improve error messages, and provide runnable samples.
