Documentation

README

Excerpt

dx-roaster

Roasts a GitHub repo's developer experience. Produces four files: roast.md, action-plan.md, ideal-readme.md, score.json. Built for OSS maintainers and dev-tool founders preparing for Show HN, Product Hunt, or any launch where the first five minutes matter.

Critical rules (read before every run)

Read all three reference files BEFORE scoring. references/scoring-rubric.md, references/roast-voice-guide.md, references/readme-template.md. The rubric is non-negotiable — use the exact 10 dimensions.
Score every dimension on the 0–10 scale. Never skip. Missing data = score 0, not "N/A".

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
