What it does

Design Award Pipeline is an agent skill from SeanJ1ang/design-judge-skills. Route and coordinate an end-to-end design-award workflow across winner research, evidence-based evaluation, award matching, entry-text preparation, and final submission checking. Use when a user asks for a complete award plan, does not know which Design Judge skill to use, wants multiple stages coordinated, or needs a resumable workflow with explicit handoffs. Do not replace the specialist skills, invent project facts, treat scores as winning probabilities, or bypass current official-rule verification.

Its SKILL.md is about 730 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 12 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `README.md`, `README_EN.md` and `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Legal & Compliance. It works with Python. The repository describes itself as: Evidence-driven Agent Skills for design award research, evaluation, award matching, entry writing, and submission readiness. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • A user asks for a complete award plan
  • Does not know which Design Judge skill to use
  • Wants multiple stages coordinated
  • Needs a resumable workflow with explicit handoffs

Example prompts

  • “/design-award-pipeline”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. State the selected route and why it is sufficient.
  2. Invoke or follow the relevant specialist Skill exactly.
  3. Preserve its uncertainty labels, evidence confidence, and blockers.
  4. Stop for user approval when the target award, maturity track, or another consequential choice changes downstream work.
  5. Hand off only facts supported by user material or cited official sources.
  6. End with the completed stage, unresolved blockers, and the next optional stage.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit abf53e6. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    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

Design Award Pipeline loads about 725 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 132 tokens; SKILL.md has 298 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~132
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~725
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

description
Route and coordinate an end-to-end design-award workflow across winner research, evidence-based evaluation, award matching, entry-text preparation, and final submission checking. Use when a user asks for a complete award plan, does not know which Design Judge skill to use, wants multiple stages coordinated, or needs a resumable workflow with explicit handoffs. Do not replace the specialist skills, invent project facts, treat scores as winning probabilities, or bypass current official-rule verification.

Design Award Pipeline

Coordinate the specialist Design Judge skills without duplicating their rules.

Route the request

Choose the smallest sufficient route:

User goalRoute
Find comparable winnersdesign-award-search
Diagnose or score the designdesign-evaluation
Select an award, route, or categorydesign-award-match
Prepare entry fields and copydesign-information-prep
Audit a concrete submission packagedesign-submission-check
Complete journeyevaluation or match → information prep → submission check; add search only when precedents are needed

If the user has not provided enough information to select a route, ask at most one short question. Otherwise proceed with explicit assumptions.

Maintain the handoff

Create or update a compact handoff record using references/handoff-schema.json. Keep these concepts separate:

  • user-supplied facts;
  • evidence-backed findings;
  • model inferences;
  • missing facts and live-rule checks;
  • decisions already approved by the user;
  • the next recommended specialist skill.

Do not copy long specialist outputs into the handoff. Store identifiers, decisions, blockers, source links, and artifact paths.

When a handoff is written to JSON, run python scripts/validate_handoff.py <handoff.json> before treating it as resumable. Use examples/handoff.example.json as a minimal valid shape, not as project evidence.

Coordinate stages

  1. State the selected route and why it is sufficient.
  2. Invoke or follow the relevant specialist Skill exactly.
  3. Preserve its uncertainty labels, evidence confidence, and blockers.
  4. Stop for user approval when the target award, maturity track, or another consequential choice changes downstream work.
  5. Hand off only facts supported by user material or cited official sources.
  6. End with the completed stage, unresolved blockers, and the next optional stage.

Boundaries

  • Never merge fit score, design score, and evidence confidence into one number.
  • Never claim or estimate a probability of winning.
  • Never treat observed winners as official jury weights.
  • Never mark a package ready when time-sensitive official rules remain unverified.
  • Never invoke all specialist skills when one is enough.

Can I use Design Award Pipeline in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add SeanJ1ang/design-judge-skills --skill design-award-pipeline -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/design-award-pipeline, .gemini/skills/design-award-pipeline, .github/skills/design-award-pipeline and .opencode/skills/design-award-pipeline in your project.

What does Design Award Pipeline need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Design Award Pipeline needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (python). Our summary lists: Python 3.

Does Design Award Pipeline access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Design Award Pipeline safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.

What licence does Design Award Pipeline use?

Design Award Pipeline is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Design Award Pipeline use?

About 725 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.9k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 551 tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.

What are the alternatives to Design Award Pipeline?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Design Award Pipeline: PCI DSS Compliance (wshobson/agents, 40k stars), Alkahest Developer (internet-court/internet-court-skill, 6.6k stars), Analyzing Dependencies (jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace, 2.8k stars) and Python Style (open-edge-platform/anomalib, 6.2k stars).
