# Version Control Strategy

Bring order to design files nobody can trace

## What this does

When design files pile up as copies and nobody can tell which one is current, history becomes guesswork. This defines version control for design files, components and libraries: how they branch, how they are named, how a release happens. Reach for it when file history is a mess. For design system contribution rules, see design-system-governance.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Set branching rules for design files
- Agree naming for files and components
- Define how libraries get released

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## Questions

### Is Version Control Strategy safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Version Control Strategy and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit 20e34c4a587e, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/version-control-strategy.

### How do I install Version Control Strategy?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/version-control-strategy on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/Owl-Listener/designer-skills/tree/20e34c4a587e5eb09fcdf8351fa97b3ad761b31e/design-ops/skills/version-control-strategy.
