Maps the developer journey for one audience segment - discovery, trial, adoption, contribution, advocacy - as a stage-by-stage table where each stage carries an exit event, a named owner, cited friction evidence and one signal, and names the single leak worth fixing next. Use whenever someone asks what their developer journey looks like, wants a developer adoption funnel or journey map, asks why developers try the product but never reach production, where adoption drops off, who owns each step of developer experience, or how developers become contributors - even if they only say "we lose people somewhere". Not the metrics framework - use samber/developer-relations-skills@devrel-metrics.
Decides whether, where and when to launch a developer community, then plans its seeding and first 90 days - venue selection, founding-member seeding, go/no-go criteria, the cheaper no-community alternatives, and shutdown criteria. Use whenever someone asks whether to start a Discord, Slack or forum for their users, which community platform to pick, how to launch or seed a developer community from zero, or how to reach critical mass - even if they only say "we should have a Discord". Do NOT use for a community that already exists; measurement is samber/developer-relations-skills@developer-community-health and moderation is samber/developer-relations-skills@developer-community-moderation.
Writes or audits a teaching tutorial for a developer product - one new concept per step, checkpoints the learner can verify and resume from, guidance that fades, troubleshooting hooks, and a demonstrable skill at the end. Use whenever the user mentions a tutorial, a build-along or hands-on guide, a "learn X by building Y" article, a workshop or lab handout, a developer course lesson, or says nobody finishes their tutorial - even if they just say "write a guide that teaches this". Do NOT use for a zero-to-first-success quickstart (samber/developer-relations-skills@developer-quickstart-guide) or a video script (samber/developer-relations-skills@technical-video-script).
Prepares a guest for someone else's technical podcast, YouTube interview, livestream or panel - show reconnaissance, the angle, an ABT message spine backed by evidence and stories, a self-contained opening answer, clip-safe sound bites, depth calibration, recording-day mechanics, and the post-publication promotion loop. Use whenever someone says "podcast guest prep", "I'm going on a podcast next week", "youtube interview prep", "devrel media training", "prep my talking points", "sound bites", "I'm on a panel", or "what do I say when they ask about competitors" - even if they only mention an upcoming recording. Not running your own show - use samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@tech-podcast-youtube-channel.
Plans, lands and advances a developer relations career from the candidate side - developer advocate, developer evangelist, DevRel engineer, community manager, developer educator, DX engineer. Covers portfolio audits against real hiring signals, a zero-to-hireable artefact curriculum, the six-rung IC ladder, the interview formats DevRel loops use (talk round, content and coding take-homes, DevRel-opinion round), gatekeeper and pit-trap patterns in postings, and offer evaluation weighing reporting line before pay. Use whenever someone asks how to break into DevRel, prep a developer advocate interview, build a DevRel portfolio, choose a track, plan the next rung, or weigh a DevRel offer - even if they only say "should I take this advocate job". Not a job-search tool.
Plans a developer-platform career from the candidate side - API Product Manager, Platform Engineer/Architect, Partner/Integration Engineer. Disambiguates "platform engineer" first - the term overwhelmingly means internal developer platforms (Kubernetes, Backstage, golden paths) elsewhere in the industry; this skill covers only the external/public-API-platform track. States the key finding that splits this track from DevRel's - platform compensation rides the general engineering/PM ladder, not a separate undersurveyed one. Covers GitLab's real Partner Engineer ladder, the API-design-vs-system-design interview split, and RFC/design-doc portfolio signals. Use when the user asks how to break into platform/API product work, prep for a platform or API-PM interview, or evaluate an offer. Do NOT use for hiring (samber/developer-platform-skills@developer-platform-hiring) or advocate/community/educator roles (samber/developer-relations-skills@devrel-career).
Employer-side hiring for developer-platform roles - API Product Manager, Platform Engineer/Architect, Partner/Integration Engineer. Disambiguates "platform engineer" first, since the term overwhelmingly means internal developer platforms elsewhere in the industry. Calibrates the scorecard to company archetype (infra/API-first, bolt-on public API, enterprise partner ecosystem), flags a scope-collapse pattern distinct from DevRel's gatekeeper/pit-trap taxonomy, sources from apidays, not PlatformCon's internal-IDP audience, builds the loop from the API-design-vs-system-design interview split, and benchmarks compensation against the general engineering/PM ladder rather than a bespoke platform title. Use when the user asks how to hire a platform engineer, API product manager, or partner/integration engineer, write a posting, or design a loop. Do NOT use for candidate prep (samber/developer-platform-skills@developer-platform-career) or DevRel hiring (samber/developer-relations-skills@devrel-hiring).
