Docs Quickstart

Q: How do I know the Docs Quickstart output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: A developer can copy-paste their way to a working result — no missing steps; The first example is the *minimal* one (one clear win), not a feature tour; Prerequisites list only what's truly required to start; Expected output is shown so success is unambiguous.

🔵 Stable🕐 updated 2026-06-30 🔷 SkillSpec L3 pm-devrel

Write a 'get started in 5 minutes' quickstart for a tool, library, or API. Use when asked to write a quickstart, getting-started guide, or onboarding docs for developers. Produces a copy-paste-friendly quickstart that takes a developer from zero to a first working result fast, with install, a minimal working example, and clear next steps.

What to give it

▸What it is — the tool/library/API and what a developer uses it for.

▸Install & setup — how to install; any key/auth/config needed to start.

▸The "hello world" — the smallest meaningful thing it can do (the first win).

▸Environment — language(s)/runtime, prerequisites.

▸Next steps — where to go deeper (key guides, API reference, examples).

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓A developer can copy-paste their way to a working result — no missing steps

✓The first example is the *minimal* one (one clear win), not a feature tour

✓Prerequisites list only what's truly required to start

✓Expected output is shown so success is unambiguous

✓Next steps point to the right deeper resources

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not front-load concepts/architecture — get them to a working result first, explain later

Do not assume hidden setup — every step needed to run must be present

Do not show a huge "kitchen sink" example as the first one — minimal win first

Do not skip the expected output — devs need to confirm it worked

Do not leave dead-ends — always point to what's next
