SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the complex and often neglected process of deprecating design system components, tokens, or patterns, ensuring a smooth transition for consumers and maintaining system health.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Lifecycle Planning: Generates comprehensive deprecation plans including timelines, migration paths, and communication strategies.
  • Usage Auditing: Automates the identification of current usage across the codebase to assess blast radius.
  • Use Case: When a foundational button component needs to be replaced due to accessibility improvements, this Skill will help you plan the deprecation, identify all the places it's used, communicate the change to all teams, and provide clear migration steps.

Quick Start

Use the deprecation process skill to plan the deprecation of the 'old-button' component.
