Excerpt

Designer onboarding

A skill for creating a practical onboarding guide for a designer joining a team that uses a design system. Output covers system philosophy, tooling setup, contribution norms, and a first contribution path — structured so a new team member can follow it without additional help.

Context

Onboarding documentation has a failure mode: it gets written for the person creating it, not the person reading it. It assumes context, skips steps that feel obvious to anyone who already knows the system, and leaves the new team member with a list of things to read rather than a path to follow.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
