contribution-workflow

contribution-workflow is a skill for Claude Code from murphytrueman/design-system-ops. It costs 60 tokens per session (3,229 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A step-by-step process for proposing, reviewing, accepting, and publishing new contributions to a design system, such as a reusable interface component.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to document contribution guidelines for new components, improvements to existing components, and other design-system changes.
Why use it?
It gives teams clear stages, decision rules, and ownership so contributions are consistent without making the process unnecessarily difficult.

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

contribution-workflow 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 24d 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.

Contribution workflow

A skill for creating a structured contribution workflow covering the full journey from proposal to release. Output is a document teams can actually follow — not a policy statement, but a process with named stages, decision criteria, and clear ownership at each gate.

Before you begin: verify references

Confirm that every path in this skill's frontmatter references: exists relative to this SKILL.md. If any is missing, stop: the install is incomplete, usually because a flattening installer (for example npx skills install) dropped the repo-root knowledge-notes/ directory. Tell the user to reinstall by a method in 1-INSTALL.md and run verify-install.sh from the install root. Proceed without the references only if the user explicitly says to, and then say in the output that it was produced without the pack's reference material.

Context

Most design systems have one of two contribution problems. Either there is no process, so contributions arrive inconsistently and the design systems team becomes a bottleneck because every request is a negotiation. Or there is a process that is so heavy it discourages contribution entirely, and teams build locally rather than bother.

The goal here is a workflow that is lightweight enough to not be a burden, structured enough to produce consistent quality, and honest enough to tell contributors what will and will not make it into the system.

The six-stage structure below reflects the full lifecycle of a contribution; it is the shape most published contribution models share (Nathan Curtis and Brad Frost have both written it up), not this pack's invention. Not every contribution needs all six stages at the same depth — a small enhancement to an existing component is lighter than a new foundational component. The workflow scales accordingly, and the output notes where the path diverges by contribution type.


Step 1: Understand the current state

Ask for or confirm:

  • Does a contribution process already exist? If so, what is working and what is not?
  • Who is responsible for design system maintenance — a dedicated team, shared responsibility, or a single person?
  • What types of contributions are most common? (New components, enhancements, token changes, documentation, bug fixes)
  • What is the team's capacity for reviewing and integrating contributions?
