Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# 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

Define version control strategies for design files, components, and libraries.
How do I install it?

Where does this skill come from?
From Owl-Listener/designer-skills, a repository with 1,964 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
