SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the gap in design system governance by providing a structured process to review past releases or deprecations, identifying what worked, what didn't, and how to improve future governance processes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured Review: Analyzes releases across five dimensions: blast radius, communication, migration path, timeline, and support burden.
  • Gap Classification: Categorizes issues as foreseeable, unforeseeable, or process-related to pinpoint root causes.
  • Actionable Recommendations: Generates specific, implementable suggestions for improving governance and future releases.
  • Use Case: After deprecating a core component, use this Skill to analyze the migration process, understand why certain teams struggled, and generate recommendations for clearer communication and better migration guides for the next deprecation.

Quick Start

Run a release retrospective for the 'v2 token migration' using the provided plan and execution data.
