# How We Released a Major Version of Our Design System in 1 Week

**[monday Engineering](https://daily.dev/sources/monday)** · 6 min read · 11 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

The monday.com design system team reduced a major version release from five months to one week by encoding the entire breaking-change lifecycle into a Claude Code skill called /vibe-breaking-change. Instead of manually repeating the same workflow (implement, update usages, generate codemod, update docs, validate, open PR) for each change, they captured it as a reusable automated system. Each run starts from a board item, applies the code change, propagates it across the codebase, generates a codemod when applicable, incrementally updates CHANGELOG and MIGRATION_GUIDE, runs build/lint/tests until clean, and opens a fully described pull request — all without manual intervention between steps.
