## What It Does

DESIGN-OPS connects your existing tools and gives you automated insights across three pillars:

| Pillar | What You Get |
|--------|--------------|
| **Operations** | Calendar events, tasks due, email summaries |
| **Design** | Figma activity, GitHub commits, PR reviews |
| **Analytics** | Page views, link clicks, traffic trends |

---

## Quick Start

### Option 1: Terminal

Clone the repo and run the install script.

```bash
git clone https://github.com/opensesh/DESIGN-OPS
bash DESIGN-OPS/.design-ops/install.sh
```

### Option 2: Claude Code

Paste this prompt into Claude Code and it will handle the rest.

```
Clone github.com/opensesh/DESIGN-OPS and run the install script.
```

*Works in Claude Code CLI, desktop app, or IDE extensions.*

Installs globally to `~/.claude/plugins/design-ops/`.

### Updating

Run from anywhere:

```bash
bash ~/.claude/design-ops/update.sh
```

The script automatically finds your installation, shows available updates, and reinstalls.

**Note:** Start a new Claude Code session after updating.
