dx-audit
Audits the smallest relevant developer-facing surface of a library, CLI, SDK, or npm package across API contracts, errors, CLI behavior, public types, onboarding, and config. Uses candidate-first rule loading, bounded local evidence, and compact root-cause findings. Use when asked to "audit my CLI", "make this CLI agent-friendly", "is this API ergonomic", "review the developer experience", "improve these errors", "simplify first run", or "review my SDK". For end-user UI use ui-design Audit mode, for agentic-app trust use ax-audit, for docs prose use docs-writing, for README work use readme-creator, and for repo architecture use codebase-architecture. Inside a product that also ships a UI, this is the skill for the developer-facing half, so pick it when the complaint is about an import, command, error string, exported type, or config rather than a screen.
