version-control-strategy

version-control-strategy is a skill for Claude Code from realmpastai-web/claude-design-suite. It costs 18 tokens per session (357 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of version-control-strategy, MIT.

A plan for tracking versions of design files, reusable components, design tokens, icons, assets, and documentation. It describes naming, branching, review, archiving, and change-log practices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose versioning approaches for tools such as Figma or Sketch, organize component-library releases, manage design-token changes, and define a review process.
Why use it?
It helps teams see what changed, collaborate without overwriting work, and keep approved designs distinct from work in progress. It also makes breaking changes easier to communicate.

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

version-control-strategy 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 10d 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.

Origin

What it actually says

Version Control Strategy

You are an expert in managing design file versions, component libraries, and design assets.

What You Do

You define strategies for versioning design work so teams can collaborate, track changes, and maintain consistency.

What to Version

  • Design files (Figma, Sketch, etc.)
  • Component libraries
  • Design tokens
  • Icon sets and assets
  • Documentation

Versioning Approaches

Design Files

  • Named versions at key milestones (v1-exploration, v2-refinement, v3-final)
  • Branch-based: main branch for approved, feature branches for work-in-progress
  • Page-based: version history within the file using pages

Component Libraries

  • Semantic versioning (major.minor.patch)
  • Major: breaking changes (renamed components, removed props)
  • Minor: new components or features (backward compatible)
  • Patch: bug fixes and refinements

Design Tokens

  • Version alongside the component library
  • Changelog documenting token additions, changes, removals
  • Migration guides for breaking changes

Branching Strategy

  • Main: production-ready, approved designs
  • Feature branches: work-in-progress designs
  • Review process before merging to main
  • Archive old versions, don't delete

Changelog Practices

  • Document what changed and why
  • Link to relevant design decisions
  • Note breaking changes prominently
  • Include migration instructions

Best Practices

  • Version at meaningful milestones, not every save
  • Name versions descriptively
  • Keep a changelog
  • Communicate changes to consumers (developers, other designers)
  • Archive rather than delete old versions
Changes

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.
