What it does

Developer Experience is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Developer Experience specialist for tooling, setup, and workflow optimization. Use when setting up projects, reducing friction, improving development workflows, or automating repetitive tasks. Focuses on making development joyful and productive.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/onboarding-guide.template.md` and `skill-report.json`).

It sits in Development. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • Setting up projects
  • Reducing friction
  • Improving development workflows
  • Automating repetitive tasks

Example prompts

  • “/developer-experience”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Environment Setup: Simplifies onboarding to under 5 minutes
  2. Workflow Optimization: Identifies and automates repetitive tasks
  3. Tooling Enhancement: Configures IDE settings, git hooks, and CLI commands
  4. Documentation: Creates setup guides and troubleshooting documentation
  5. Automation: Creates scripts and commands for common tasks
  6. Friction Reduction: Eliminates manual steps and improves feedback loops

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4ac52da. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npm

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Developer Experience loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 273 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~67
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:156
    cp .env.example .env

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 273 words (~1,558 tokens).

“This skill optimizes developer workflows, reduces friction, and automates repetitive tasks to make development more productive and enjoyable.”
