What it does

Developer Audience Context is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. When the user wants to establish or update their developer audience context. Also use when starting any other developer marketing skill to ensure foundational context is loaded.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `README.md`, `references/example-apitest.md` and `references/template.md`).

It sits in Writing & Content. The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1e53ce2. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • octolens.com

    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 Audience Context loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 984 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~51
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.8k

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 passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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.

Developer Audience Context

When to Use

Use this skill when you need when the user wants to establish or update their developer audience context. Also use when starting any other developer marketing skill to ensure foundational context is loaded. Trigger phrases include "developer persona," "target developers," "who are our developers," "developer...

This skill helps you create and maintain .agents/developer-audience-context.md — a foundational document that captures everything about your target developers. All other developer marketing skills reference this document first, so you only define your audience once.


Before You Start

Check if .agents/developer-audience-context.md exists:

  • If it exists: Read it and offer to update specific sections
  • If it doesn't exist: Create the directory and file, then walk through each section

Two Ways to Build Context

Analyze existing materials to draft an initial version:

  1. README.md — Product description, features, getting started
  2. Documentation — /docs, API reference, tutorials
  3. Landing pages — index.html, marketing copy
  4. package.json / pyproject.toml — Dependencies reveal ecosystem
  5. GitHub Issues — Common questions, frustrations, use cases
  6. Existing blog posts — Technical content, tutorials

After drafting, walk through each section to validate and fill gaps.

Option 2: Start from Scratch

Ask questions section-by-section. Don't advance until the current section is complete.


The 10 Sections to Capture

1. Product Overview
FieldWhat to capture
Product nameOfficial name and any aliases
One-liner"We help [developers] do [X] without [Y]"
CategoryAPI, SDK, CLI, SaaS, open source library, infrastructure
Core technologyLanguages, frameworks, platforms supported
Pricing modelFree/open source, freemium, usage-based, seat-based
2. Developer Persona

Not "developers" generically — get specific:

FieldWhat to capture
Primary roleBackend, frontend, full-stack, DevOps, data, ML, mobile
SeniorityJunior, mid, senior, staff, lead, architect
Company sizeSolo, startup, scale-up, enterprise
Industry verticalsFintech, healthtech, e-commerce, gaming, B2B SaaS
Tech stackLanguages, frameworks, cloud providers they use
Decision authorityIndividual contributor, team lead, buyer, influencer

Ask: "Describe the developer who gets the most value from your product in one paragraph. What's their day-to-day like?"

3. Where They Hang Out

Developers research before they buy. Know where:

ChannelSpecifics to capture
CommunitiesSpecific subreddits, Discord servers, Slack groups
SocialTwitter/X hashtags, LinkedIn groups
ContentBlogs they read, newsletters they subscribe to, podcasts
EventsConferences, meetups, hackathons
CodeGitHub topics, Stack Overflow tags

Pro tip: Use social listening tools to monitor conversations across Hacker News, Reddit, Stack Overflow, GitHub, and Twitter. See where discussions about your problem space happen organically.

4. Problems & Pain Points

Capture the actual problems, not your solution's features:

LevelWhat to capture
Functional"I can't do X" / "X takes too long" / "X is error-prone"
EmotionalFrustration, anxiety, embarrassment, fear
SituationalWhen does the pain occur? What triggers the search?

Ask: "What's the #1 frustration that brings developers to you?"

Research: Search Reddit, Hacker News, and Stack Overflow for complaints about your problem space. Capture verbatim quotes.

5. Current Alternatives

What are developers using today instead of you?

Alternative typeExamples
Direct competitorsTools that solve the same problem
DIY / build it yourselfCustom scripts, internal tools
Indirect solutionsWorkarounds, manual processes
Do nothingLive with the pain

For each alternative, capture:

  • Why developers choose it
  • What's frustrating about it
  • What would make them switch
6. Key Differentiators

What makes you different — in developer terms:

Differentiator typeExample
Technical"10x faster," "No dependencies," "Type-safe"
DX (Developer Experience)"5-minute setup," "Great docs," "First-class CLI"
Ecosystem"Works with X," "Built for Y framework"
Philosophy"Open source," "Privacy-first," "Local-first"

Warning: Avoid marketing fluff. Developers see through "best-in-class" and "enterprise-grade." Use specific, provable claims.

7. Verbatim Developer Language

Capture exact phrases developers use — not polished marketing copy:

CategoryExamples
Describing the problem"This is such a pain," "I wish I could just..."
Describing your productHow they explain it to others
Objections"But what about...", "I'm worried that..."
PraiseTestimonials, tweets, GitHub comments

Sources: GitHub issues, Twitter mentions, Hacker News comments, support tickets, sales calls, community Slack/Discord.

8. Technical Trust Signals

What proof points matter to developers:

Signal typeExamples
AdoptionGitHub stars, npm downloads, Docker pulls
QualityTest coverage, security audits, uptime SLA
CommunityContributors, Discord members, forum activity
CredibilityBacked by X, used by Y, created by Z
TransparencyOpen source, public roadmap, changelog
9. Conversion Actions

What does success look like at each stage?

StagePrimary actionSecondary actions
AwarenessStar repo, follow on TwitterRead blog post, share content
ConsiderationClone repo, read docsWatch demo, join Discord
TrialSign up, install SDKComplete quickstart, make first API call
ActivationReach "Hello World" momentIntegrate into real project
ConversionUpgrade to paidAdd team members, expand usage
10. Voice & Tone

How should you sound when talking to these developers?

DimensionSpectrum
FormalityCasual ← → Professional
TechnicalityAccessible ← → Deep technical
PersonalityNeutral ← → Opinionated
HumorSerious ← → Playful

Examples:

  • Stripe → Professional, precise, clean
  • Vercel → Modern, confident, developer-first
  • Supabase → Friendly, accessible, community-driven
  • Tailwind → Opinionated, direct, practical
