# devrel-content

**Create technical content developers actually read.**

## What It Does

Guides you through creating blog posts, tutorials, and documentation that resonate with developers. Covers research, structure, code examples, technical accuracy, and SEO.

## When to Use

- Writing a technical blog post
- Creating documentation or guides
- Building thought leadership content
- When you say "write a blog post," "technical article," "developer content," or "tutorial"

## Quick Start

```
/devrel-content

Write a blog post about implementing rate limiting in Node.js.
Target: backend developers building APIs.
```

The skill will:
1. Load your developer audience context
2. Help you research and validate the topic
3. Guide you through the outline and structure
4. Ensure code examples are copy-paste ready
5. Check technical accuracy and SEO

## Key Frameworks

### Content Quality Signals

- **Show, don't tell** — Code over prose
- **Address the "why"** — Not just how, but when and why
- **Acknowledge tradeoffs** — Developers respect honesty
- **Progressive disclosure** — Start simple, add complexity

### Code Example Requirements

Every code snippet must:
- Run without modification
- Include all imports
- Show expected output
- Handle errors properly
- Use real values (not `foo`, `bar`)

### SEO for Developers

Developers search differently:
- Error messages ("TypeError: Cannot read property...")
- How-to queries ("how to deploy next.js")
- Comparisons ("prisma vs typeorm 2024")
- Best practices ("typescript project structure")
