ok but maybe comparing aristotle with the product choices of a devtool startup is a bit of a stretch

Trust check pattern for any new devtool:

1. Who maintains it?
2. What permissions does it request?
3. Does the repo expose secrets/config?
4. Are deps pinned and current?
5. Does the website pass basic browser hardening?

Speed is great. Blind trust is how you get owned. #DevSecOps

If you maintain a devtool, a stale line in your AGENTS.md is a bug now, because agents act on it.
AGENTS.md
AGENTS.md is a simple, open format for guiding coding agents. Think of it as a README for agents.

At an early devtool company that's usually the founder's job long before anyone gets hired for it.

The hard part is the 30 days. It's easy to do it for three days around a launch and stop.

Devtool founders, who on your team owns the replies right now?

Your coding agent can now query your entire agent stack in standard SQL: Meet Judgment Virtual SQL (vsql) by Judgment Labs

Your coding agent can inspect traces, spans, judge results, and test runs in a single unified schema.

Every conversation showed what developers got straight away and what needed more explaining. That showed where docs and demos needed work.

Hire someone who can bring back what confused developers.

If you are shipping an AI/devtool product, what trust signal would make you follow or try a security scanner: public teardown, simple score, CI check, or repo/agent-skill review? #DevTools #AppSec

After working with 35+ devtool teams at Studio1, what I'd tell any founder shipping this quarter:

1. Write docs an agent can read. A quickstart that runs on a clean machine. Pages that load without JavaScript.

AI made building a devtool easy.
It didn't make developers find it.

Landing pages are 2.6% of the pages AI engines cite when someone asks about a developer tool.

Blog posts are 34.3%. Docs are 17.3%.

What I'd show developers now, as someone who runs DevRel for devtool teams at Studio1:

→ cost per task on one real workflow
→ time to first working result
→ where it fails, written down
→ a rerun kit so they can check you

Every finding from our devtool answers four things: what's wrong for the user, how bad, which Angular component, and how sure (axe rule, or our own heuristic to check by hand). Each of our rules has a page explaining it.

Our devtool promised zero production cost and was adding up to 28 KB. axe never loaded, but our own code stayed, because "dev mode?" was checked at runtime.

A constant ternary on ngDevMode lets the bundler fold it away. Now ~0.2 KB, enforced in CI.

An unlabelled icon button deep inside a UI library: whose bug?

Raw axe says .start-search. Our devtool walks past library components to the app's own: HeaderComponent, via 4 Nebular ones. That chain showed the bug was in Nebular itself, so we reported it upstream.

Our Angular a11y devtool remembers findings on every route you visit. Menu → Download report gives one HTML file for everything you clicked through, grouped by component. Handy for a bug ticket. No CLI needed.

staying relevant is the hardest thing in the world

look at all the devtool companies that had mindshare even just a few years ago

completely lost all relevance with this new shift
