What it does

Dx Insight Usage Guardrail is an agent skill from cultureamp/kaizen-design-system. Checks deps update in widely consumed repos will cause problems or not, and ranks dependency updates by downstream impact for prioritisation.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Design systems, Dependency management and Prioritization frameworks. It works with Storybook, React and TypeScript. The repository describes itself as: Culture Amp's Kaizen Design System :seedling:. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Design systems
  • Tasks that involve Dependency management
  • Tasks that involve Prioritization frameworks

Example prompts

  • “Use the dx-insight-usage-guardrail skill to check deps update in widely consumed repos will cause problems or not, and ranks dependency updates by…”
  • “/dx-insight-usage-guardrail”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Ask DX Insights
  2. Review the DX Insights results table
  3. Decide on change
  4. Surface impact in your PR
  5. Re-run as needed

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a0bf87f. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Dx Insight Usage Guardrail loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 678 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~42
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

dx-insights Usage Guardrail

Use this skill when changing dependencies or APIs in widely consumed repos (kaizen-design-system, unified-home and shared packages) to check if the change is likely to cause problems.

Preconditions

  • Hotel is installed and configured in the repo
  • Hotel is up to date (v0.10.5 or later): hotel version update
  • DX Insights plugin is enabled: hotel plugin enable dx-insights
  • You are on the Development VPN because dx-insights runs in the dev account

Workflow A: Breaking Change Impact Check

When you are about to make a potentially breaking change (e.g. major bump, peer dependency change, API or component rename):

  1. Ask DX Insights
    • In your coding agent, run a DX Insights query for the package, component and API you are changing.
    • Phrase the prompt so it can tie usage back to GitHub, for example:
      • "Show me where @kaizen/components Heading is used across repos"
      • "List repos, branches, and file paths that depends on @kaizen/components"
  2. Review the DX Insights results table:
    • Look at the table of affected repos, branches, and file paths returned by DX Insights.
    • Pay attention to:
      • Production apps vs internal tools
      • Shared packages vs apps
  3. Decide on change:
    • If you see high-risk consumers (widely used components):
      • Prefer a non-breaking or additive change (small dependencies update, deprecation warning, opt-in feature flag) instead of a breaking change
      • Or plan a major release with:
        • Clear migration notes
        • Coordination with affected teams if possible
    • If usage seems low-risk:
      • Proceed with the change but keep an eye on any related issues that may arise after release
  4. Surface impact in your PR:
    • In the PR description, paste or summarise the DX Insights table output:
      • Key repos affected
      • Example branches if relevant
      • Representative file paths that may be impacted
    • Call out any especially risky areas so reviewers know where to focus for manual or regression testing.
  5. Re-run as needed: If you revise your change (broaden its scope), re-run the DX Insights check so the table still reflects the final impact before merge.

Workflow B: Dependency Update Prioritisation

When deciding which dependency updates to tackle first (e.g. during a health week or time-boxed session), use DX Insights to rank updates by downstream impact. This is referenced by the deps-update-playbook.

  1. Gather the list of pending updates

    • Use the deps-update-playbook's check-dashboard.sh or review open Renovate PRs.

  2. Query consumer counts for each affected package

    • For each package being updated, ask DX Insights:
      • "How many repos depend on <package-name>?"
      • "List all consumers of <package-name> with repo names and whether they are apps or libraries"
    • Example queries:
      • "Count unique repos that import from @kaizen/components"
      • "Show consumer breakdown for @kaizen/design-tokens — apps vs shared packages"

  3. Build a priority ranking

    • For each pending update, combine:

      • Consumer count: more consumers = higher impact
      • Consumer type: production apps weigh more than internal tools or dev-only packages
      • Version gap: how far behind the current version is (check release notes for cumulative breaking changes)
      • Security advisories: any CVEs in the current version jump to the top
      • Test coverage: how many test cases exist that exercise the affected package or component? More tests = higher confidence that breakage will be caught during validation, which makes the update safer to attempt. Check for unit tests, integration tests, and Chromatic snapshots that cover the changed surface area.
      • Safety layers: does the affected area have multiple layers of protection beyond tests (e.g. TypeScript strict types, Chromatic visual regression, Storybook interaction tests, runtime feature flags)? Updates with more safety layers are lower-risk because even if something slips through, downstream teams are more likely to catch it before it reaches production. Prefer tackling well-guarded updates first — they give you confidence with less manual verification effort.

    • Present this as a ranked table to the human, e.g.:

      PackageUpdateConsumersProd appsSecurityTestsSafety layersPriority
      pkg-a2.0→3.042 repos12CVE-XXX85TS, Chromatic, flagsP0
      pkg-b1.2→1.335 repos8None40TS, StorybookP1
      pkg-c4.0→5.03 repos0None5NoneP3

  4. Use the ranking to guide work order

    • Follow the triage matrix in the deps-update-playbook to decide what to tackle within the available time.
