# Triage A skill for quickly assessing a design system's state and recommending which skills to run first, in what order, and why. Prevents the overwhelm of running every skill in the pack when 3–5 would surface the critical findings. ## Before you begin: verify references Before doing anything else, confirm that every file listed in this skill's frontmatter `references:` field exists at its relative path from this SKILL.md. If any are missing, stop — the install is incomplete. This usually means a third-party installer (for example `npx skills install`) flattened the skill into a standalone folder and dropped the repo-root `knowledge-notes/` directory this skill depends on. Tell the user to reinstall using a supported method from `1-INSTALL.md` (git clone, or the `.plugin` bundle in Cowork) and to run `verify-install.sh` from the install root to confirm the fix. Only proceed without the references if the user explicitly says to — and if they do, state clearly in your output that it was produced in degraded mode without the pack's reference material. ## Context Design System Ops has skills across five categories: audit, validate, document, govern, and communicate. Running all of them is comprehensive but overwhelming — especially for a team encountering the plugin for the first time. The triage skill reads the system's current state and produces a prioritised run plan: which skills to run first, which to skip for now, and which to return to later. The triage skill is in...
