What It Does

This skill turns Claude into a senior advisor for design org leadership. Bring it a real decision - org structure, hiring, a difficult conversation, a political problem, a VP transition - and get framework-grounded, opinionated guidance that connects design to business outcomes.

"Should I centralize or embed my designers now that we're scaling to 40 people?"
"I have a senior designer who's underperforming. How do I handle this without losing them?"
"Engineering keeps making design decisions without us. How do I fix this structurally?"
"I just got promoted to VP. What do I stop doing immediately?"
"How do I build a critique culture that doesn't feel like a roast?"

Claude responds with a diagnosis of your org stage, the relevant framework, a clear recommendation with trade-offs named, and the specific anti-patterns to avoid.

The Nine Decision Domains

#	Domain	What It Covers
1	Org Structure	Centralized vs. embedded vs. federated models, maturity stages, span of control
2	Hiring	What great looks like at each level, future org chart, IC vs. manager tracks
3	Managing Up	Earning exec credibility, language that works, when and how to push back
4	**Cross-Fun
