SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automatically identifies and records positive evolutions introduced during epic implementation, ensuring design registries stay aligned with actual enhancements.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Detect new components, fields, and patterns introduced by completed epics.
  • Update design registries to reflect genuine innovations and reduce duplication.
  • Generate an evolution report with an optional dry-run and actionable recommendations for changes.

Quick Start

Run /evolve <epic-id> to analyze a completed epic and generate a formal evolution report.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I update a design system registry after completing an epic?

To update a design system registry after an epic, analyze epic histories to identify new patterns and components, then compare changes against existing registries to propose updates for genuine innovations.

What is the best way to detect new components introduced during epic implementation?

The best way to detect new components introduced during epic implementation is to analyze epic histories against design registries, which identifies newly added fields and patterns while avoiding duplicates.

How does an evolution report help with design system governance?

An evolution report supports design system governance by detailing proposed registry changes and actionable recommendations, ensuring design registries stay aligned with actual enhancements from completed epics.

Can I preview proposed design registry updates without applying them?

Yes, you can preview proposed design registry updates without applying them by using an optional dry-run, which generates an evolution report detailing the detected changes and proposed actions safely.

How do I prevent duplicate pattern entries when managing design registries?

To prevent duplicate pattern entries when managing design registries, validate detected changes by comparing them against existing registries, ensuring only truly new additions are proposed for updates.

When should I analyze epic histories for pattern management?

You should analyze epic histories for pattern management when applied to completed epics or on-demand, allowing you to capture positive evolutions and formally record new patterns introduced during implementation.
