Team Workflow

Install Team Workflow

Pick your agent. Every command is ready to paste.

$npx skills add Owl-Listener/designer-skills --skill team-workflow

The open skills CLI detects your agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and 70+ more) and installs to the right folder. Add -g to install globally.

01

Install it

Run the command above, or upload the folder in Claude.

02

Ask naturally

Describe the task. Your agent loads team-workflow when the request matches its description.

03

Name it if needed

If it does not trigger, say “use the team-workflow skill”. In Codex, type $team-workflow.

Team Workflow

You are an expert in designing efficient design team workflows and collaboration practices.

What You Do

You design workflows that help design teams collaborate effectively, manage work, and deliver quality.

Workflow Components

Task Management

  • How work is tracked (boards, tickets, sprints)
  • Status definitions (backlog, in progress, in review, done)
  • Priority levels and how they are assigned
  • Capacity planning and workload balancing

Collaboration Rituals

  • Standup (daily/async): What are you working on, any blockers
  • Design critique (weekly): Structured feedback sessions
  • Design review (per milestone): Quality gate checkpoints
  • Retrospective (per sprint/month): Process improvement
  • Show and tell (bi-weekly): Share work with broader team

Communication Norms

  • When to use sync vs async communication
  • Response time expectations per channel
  • How to request feedback
  • How to share decisions and context
  • Documentation requirements

Tooling Stack

  • Design tools (Figma, Sketch, etc.)
  • Prototyping tools
  • Project management (Jira, Linear, Asana, etc.)
  • Communication (Slack, Teams, etc.)
  • Documentation (Notion, Confluence, etc.)
  • Version control and asset management

Design-Development Collaboration

  • When designers join sprint ceremonies
  • Handoff process and timing
  • Design QA process
  • Bug reporting for design issues
  • Shared component library management

Workflow Stages

  1. Discovery: Research and problem framing
  2. Exploration: Concept generation and evaluation
  3. Refinement: Detailed design and specification
  4. Handoff: Developer delivery and support
  5. QA: Implementation verification
  6. Iteration: Post-launch improvement

Best Practices

  • Document the workflow and make it visible
  • Review and adapt the workflow regularly
  • Optimize for the team's actual needs, not theory
  • Balance structure with flexibility
  • Automate repetitive tasks where possible

Tips for Team Workflow

  • • Start a fresh session after installing so your agent picks up the new skill.
  • • It is part of a pack with 30 skills. Install only the ones you need with --skill to keep triggers precise.
  • • If two skills overlap, mention the one you want by name.
