SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps users quickly understand the current state of their design system and recommends the most impactful skills to run first, preventing overwhelm and guiding them toward critical issues.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • System Assessment: Gathers key information about the design system's size, tech stack, and maturity.
  • State Classification: Categorizes the system into one of four states (New, Growing, Established, Legacy).
  • Prioritized Run Plan: Generates a focused list of 3-5 skills to run, along with skills to skip or revisit later.
  • Use Case: A new design system lead is unsure where to begin diagnosing their system's health. They use the triage skill, provide basic system details, and receive a clear, prioritized list of audits to perform first.

Quick Start

Use the triage skill to get a prioritized run plan for your design system.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit a design system to know where to start?

To find your design system starting point, a triage assessment classifies your system into new, growing, established, or legacy states. It evaluates system characteristics and pain points to generate a focused run plan of 3-5 specific skills to execute first.

What is design system triage and when do I need it?

Design system triage is a rapid assessment that categorizes your system's current state to prevent audit overwhelm. You need it when you are unsure where to begin diagnosing system health and need prioritized guidance on the most impactful skills to execute.

How do I prioritize design system governance tasks for a legacy codebase?

You can prioritize governance tasks by providing system characteristics, pain points, and optionally scanning codebase paths. The triage process classifies the legacy system state and generates a focused list of critical skills to run, along with tasks to skip or revisit later.

Can I use a rapid assessment to find a run plan for a growing design system?

Yes, you can use a rapid assessment to find a run plan for a growing design system. By gathering key information about your tech stack and size, it categorizes the maturity state and outputs a tailored sequence of recommended skills to execute.

What information do I need to provide for a design system audit triage?

You need to provide user input on your design system characteristics, including size, tech stack, maturity, and reported pain points. Optionally, you can provide codebase paths for a quick scan to better inform the generated run plan.
