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

# Designer IC Assessment

This skill runs a structured behavioral interview to assess an IC designer's competency across five categories and 23 competency areas. The output is a structured summary with a CSV export that feeds into a Notion page and FigJam comparison board.

Two session types: **designer self-assessment** and **manager assessment**. Always run independently.

Query `data/question-bank.json` for the per-competency questions, probes, and Likert scale before starting any session — look up by competency `number` or `category`, don't scan the whole corpus. Read `references/question-bank.md` for interview guidance and the manager-only breadth/depth assessment sequence.
Read `references/output-format.md` before generating the final summary.

---

## Categories and competencies

**Knowledge:** Business Sense, Engineering Understanding, Domain Knowledge, Established UX Conventions

**Craft:** Systems Thinking, Content Strategy, Qualitative UX Research, Interaction Design, Visual Design, Prototyping & Motion Design

**Behaviors:** Ability to Learn Quickly, Stewards Initiatives and Teams, Simplify Complexity, Inspire with Data, Efficiency & Progress

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ommakes/skills/designer-ic-assessment@sha256:8075c3f47ce7f451

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, 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.
