What it does

Team Workflow is an agent skill from Owl-Listener/designer-skills. Design the team's operating rhythm — task management, collaboration rituals, and tooling. Use when the day-to-day cadence needs structure. For a time-boxed sprint, use design-sprint-plan.

Its SKILL.md is about 550 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 Productivity & Automation, covering Task management and Sprint planning and agile. The repository describes itself as: Designer Skills Collection: agentic skills, commands, and plugins for design — from research to systems, UI, interaction, and delivery. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The day-to-day cadence needs structure
  • Tasks that involve Task management
  • Tasks that involve Sprint planning and agile

Example prompts

  • “/team-workflow”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Discovery: Research and problem framing
  2. Exploration: Concept generation and evaluation
  3. Refinement: Detailed design and specification
  4. Handoff: Developer delivery and support
  5. QA: Implementation verification
  6. Iteration: Post-launch improvement

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a6930c. 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

Team Workflow loads about 553 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 244 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~51
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~553

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.

Team Workflow

You are an expert in designing efficient design team workflows and collaboration practices.

What You Do

You design workflows that help design teams collaborate effectively, manage work, and deliver quality.

Workflow Components

Task Management
  • How work is tracked (boards, tickets, sprints)
  • Status definitions (backlog, in progress, in review, done)
  • Priority levels and how they are assigned
  • Capacity planning and workload balancing
Collaboration Rituals
  • Standup (daily/async): What are you working on, any blockers
  • Design critique (weekly): Structured feedback sessions
  • Design review (per milestone): Quality gate checkpoints
  • Retrospective (per sprint/month): Process improvement
  • Show and tell (bi-weekly): Share work with broader team
Communication Norms
  • When to use sync vs async communication
  • Response time expectations per channel
  • How to request feedback
  • How to share decisions and context
  • Documentation requirements
Tooling Stack
  • Design tools (Figma, Sketch, etc.)
  • Prototyping tools
  • Project management (Jira, Linear, Asana, etc.)
  • Communication (Slack, Teams, etc.)
  • Documentation (Notion, Confluence, etc.)
  • Version control and asset management
Design-Development Collaboration
  • When designers join sprint ceremonies
  • Handoff process and timing
  • Design QA process
  • Bug reporting for design issues
  • Shared component library management

Workflow Stages

  1. Discovery: Research and problem framing
  2. Exploration: Concept generation and evaluation
  3. Refinement: Detailed design and specification
  4. Handoff: Developer delivery and support
  5. QA: Implementation verification
  6. Iteration: Post-launch improvement

Best Practices

  • Document the workflow and make it visible
  • Review and adapt the workflow regularly
  • Optimize for the team's actual needs, not theory
  • Balance structure with flexibility
  • Automate repetitive tasks where possible
