SAAS + DEVELOPER-TOOL GROWTH

Make developer setup instructions discoverable

Hi,

A useful quickstart also needs a discoverable route from the places where someone encounters your product.

Review the links from the product page, README and docs homepage. Can a new developer find prerequisites, credentials, setup instructions, an expected result and recovery help? Check the route appropriate to the supported language or runtime.

Use the agent documentation finder to inspect public entry points. Browse the llms.txt directory for examples of machine-readable documentation maps. A file's presence or successful retrieval does not prove that assistants understand or recommend the product.

If you use the Agent Readiness Audit, review its source-linked evidence and unresolved questions. Selected-page retrieval is a bounded check; it does not reproduce every developer or model experience.

This week, choose one task and follow its starting route from the homepage. Record missing or conflicting instructions. Assign one repair and a check that establishes the intended public page is available and useful for that task.
