sdk-getting-started-writer

Purpose

Write developer-first "Getting Started" guides, SDK quickstarts, and interactive code snippets that enable engineers to make their first successful API call in under 3 minutes.

When to Use

• Launching a public API, developer SDK, or open-source library.
• High developer drop-off between creating an API key and making their first request.
• Writing documentation for multi-language client libraries (Node, Python, Go, cURL).

What to Analyze

1. Time-to-First-Hello-World: Minimize steps between package install and first successful response.
2. Prerequisites & API Key Setup: Clear instructions on environment variables (export API_KEY=...).
3. Multi-Language Tabbed Snippets: Provide identical minimal examples in cURL, TypeScript, Python, and Go.
4. Copy-Pasteable Completeness: Snippets must be 100% executable without missing imports or placeholder pseudo-code.
5. Immediate Next Steps: Direct links to full API reference, webhook setup, and error code tables.

Output Format

• Quickstart Guide Markdown: 3-step guide: Install $ ightarrow$ Configure $ ightarrow$ First Request.
• Multi-Language Code Blocks: Tabbed cURL, Node.js, and Python working code.
• Expected JSON Response: Actual payload returned on success.

Avoid

• Hiding package install commands behind long introductory marketing paragraphs.
• Using un-runnable snippet fragments that omit imports or authentication headers.
