Add a copy-paste quickstart
New developers get a working result in minutes.
The number it moves
Minutes to first success
Time from landing on the docs to a first working API call or command (time to first call).
What your AI does
Read the README and docs entry page. Check whether a developer can run a first call with one install command and a short snippet that works unmodified. Propose a quickstart section and a runnable examples/ file tested against the current API or CLI.
Done when
- One install command and one short snippet give a first working call
- The snippet works without changes
- A runnable example file is tested against the current version
The prompt
Paste this into any AI coding tool, or run it in MightyMouse and your AI works on your own project.
Add a copy-paste quickstart (Developer tool) Read the README and docs entry page. Check whether a developer can run a first call with one install command and a short snippet that works unmodified. Propose a quickstart section and a runnable examples/ file tested against the current API or CLI. Done when: - One install command and one short snippet give a first working call - The snippet works without changes - A runnable example file is tested against the current version Read the code first. If it already does this well, change nothing and say so. Otherwise make the smallest change that makes every line above true. Work with what this project already uses. Do not add a paid tool or service unless I ask for one. Playbook: https://getmightymouse.com/playbooks/devtool-add-a-copy-paste-quickstart/ - published by MightyMouse.
