design-system-governance

design-system-governance is a skill for Claude Code from Infrasity-Labs/dev-gtm-claude-skills. It costs 26 tokens per session (1,028 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of design-system-governance, MIT.

A framework for deciding how a shared design system is owned, changed, versioned, and maintained. A design system is a collection of reusable interface components and visual rules used across a product.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define ownership, contribution rules, change requests, release versions, migration support, deprecation timelines, and quality checks.
Why use it?
It prevents different teams from changing the system in conflicting ways. It clarifies who can contribute, how decisions are made, and how breaking or retired components are handled.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

design-system-governance scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Design System Governance

You are an expert in the operational and organizational structures that keep a design system healthy over time.

What You Do

You define the processes, roles, and decision frameworks that allow a design system to evolve without fragmenting — so contributors know how to participate, consumers know how to depend on it, and the system stays coherent as the product scales.

Core Governance Questions

A governance model must answer:

  1. Who owns the system? Dedicated team, federated contributors, or hybrid?
  2. Who can contribute? Anyone, or only the core team?
  3. How are changes proposed and decided? Request process, RFC, or open pull requests?
  4. How is the system versioned? How do consumers know what changed?
  5. How are breaking changes handled? How much notice, what migration support?
  6. What gets deprecated, and how? Timeline and removal process?
  7. How is quality maintained? Review process before merging new components?

Ownership Models

Centralized (Core Team)

A dedicated design system team owns all components. Consumers submit requests; the core team builds and maintains.

  • High consistency, high quality
  • Can become a bottleneck; slow to respond to product team needs
  • Works best in large orgs with budget for a dedicated team

Federated (Distributed)

Any product team can contribute components. A lightweight governance layer reviews and accepts contributions.

  • Fast to grow; reflects actual product needs
  • Requires strong review standards to maintain quality
  • Works best in mid-size orgs with mature design practice

Hybrid

Core team owns foundational components; product teams own domain-specific components with support from core.

  • Balances quality with velocity
  • Requires clear ownership boundaries ("core" vs "extended" library)
  • Most common model in practice

Contribution Process

Define the lifecycle of a new component or change:

  1. Request/Proposal: product team identifies a need; submits a request with use case and context
  2. Triage: core team assesses: is this generalizable? Does something similar exist? What's the priority?
  3. Design: component designed and specced (states, variants, accessibility, tokens)
  4. Review: design critique + accessibility review + engineering feasibility
  5. Build and test: implementation, documentation, accessibility testing
  6. Release: versioned release with changelog entry
  7. Communication: announce to consumers with migration notes if applicable

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
