design-system-governance

Catalogue stub — full skill: Owl-Listener/designer-skills

Decision tree

1. Is the full skill already installed?

   • Global: grep -q "^das:" ~/.agents/skills/design-system-governance/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null && echo "pointer" || echo "installed"
   • Project: grep -q "^das:" .agents/skills/design-system-governance/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null && echo "pointer" || echo "installed"
   • No das: block → full skill installed, invoke and proceed
   • das: block present → go to step 2

2. Detect scope, then install:

   [ -e ~/.agents/skills/design-system-governance ] && echo "global" || echo "project"
   

   Global:

   npx skills add Owl-Listener/designer-skills --skill design-system-governance -g -y
   

   Project:

   npx skills add Owl-Listener/designer-skills --skill design-system-governance -y

What it does

Owls design-system-governance skill: the three ownership models (centralized / federated / hybrid) with trade-offs, the contribution lifecycle (request → triage → design → review → build → release → communicate), semver as a consumer contract, a deprecation process with migration guidance, and the quality bar a component must clear to enter the system. Public alternatives omit the ownership-model analysis.

When NOT to use

• Authoring tokens themselves → use design-tokens-skill
• Driving adoption of an existing system → see Owl’s design-system-adoption
