About this skill
What it does
The API Quickstart Doctor is a specialized auditing tool designed to identify and repair "friction points" in developer documentation. It meticulously evaluates the path from landing on a doc page to executing a first successful API call, pinpointing exactly where developers get stuck.
Why use this skill
Even great APIs fail if their documentation is difficult to navigate. This skill goes beyond simple proofreading; it acts as a surrogate developer trying your API for the first time. It evaluates critical technical details like base URL visibility, header requirements, and environment variable setup that are often overlooked by internal teams who are too close to the product.
Key Features
- Authentication Audit: Identifies missing or confusing steps in the credential acquisition process.
- First-Success Pathing: Maps the most efficient route for a dev to reach a "200 OK" status.
- Copy-Ready Examples: Provides optimized cURL or SDK code snippets that actually work without modification.
- Error Mapping: Generates clear troubleshooting tables for the most common onboarding failures.
The Output
You receive a prioritized report including a diagnostic of top findings and immediately implementable documentation fixes. Instead of vague feedback, you get specific "Copy-Ready" paragraphs and sample requests designed to decrease Time-to-First-Hello-World.
