ttfv-tracelisted

Measure how long a cold developer needs to get from landing page to a first successful API call, and report exactly where the time goes. Walks the quickstart step by step as a first-time reader would, times each step, records every blocker and undocumented prerequisite, and grades the result against published time-to-first-call benchmarks. Use when asked how long onboarding takes, to measure or improve time to first value or time to first call, to find onboarding and quickstart friction, or to test whether a getting-started guide actually works.

# Time-to-first-value trace Walk a quickstart the way a stranger would and time it. Most teams have never measured this; the industry-standard method is still a stopwatch, which is why nobody does it twice. The output is a per-step timing table with the blockers named. That table is the finding — a single number tells a team they are slow, the table tells them which paragraph to fix. ## Applies to | | | |---|---| | **Project types** | Anything with a self-serve onboarding path — APIs, SDKs, CLIs, frameworks, developer platforms | | **Stage** | Any product with a published quickstart. Most valuable immediately before a launch or paid campaign, since traffic pointed at slow onboarding wastes the spend | | **Needs** | A quickstart, getting-started guide, or a README with setup steps | | **Skip if** | No public onboarding path exists yet, or the product is sales-led with an implementation team — there is no cold-developer journey to time | Also worth running after any change to auth, installation, or the first-call flow. Those edits are where onboarding silently regresses. ## How to use ``` /agentrel:ttfv-trace trace this repository's quickstart /agentrel:ttfv-trace https://docs.acme.com trace a public onboarding path /agentrel:ttfv-trace ./docs/getting-started.md trace a specific document ``` Produces `ttfv-report.md` and a printed timing summary.
