Run design sprints, manage handoff, establish team rituals, documentation standards, and design QA processes. Covers the operational side of design — how teams organize work, collaborate with engineering, and ship quality.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Design Ops & Handoff

Operational processes that make design teams effective — sprints, handoff, rituals, documentation, and quality assurance.

---

## Design Sprints

A 5-day process for solving big problems and testing ideas before committing engineering resources. Based on Jake Knapp's Sprint methodology developed at Google Ventures.

### When to Sprint

| Signal | Sprint Is Right | Sprint Is Wrong |
|--------|----------------|-----------------|
| Problem clarity | Big problem, unclear solution | Solution already known — just build it |
| Stakes | High — wrong direction costs months | Low — easy to course-correct later |
| Team alignment | Disagreement on approach | Team already aligned |
| Time pressure | Need answers this week | Can run a longer discovery process |
| Complexity | Cross-functional problem | Single-discipline task |

### The 5-Day Structure

| Day | Focus | Key Activity | Output |
|-----|-------|-------------|--------|
| **Monday** | Map | Define the challenge, set a 2-year goal, map the problem space, pick a target | Sprint questions, problem map, target area |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add cuellarfr/design-skills/design-ops@sha256:83b95806ea598f92

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260823.b41750a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
