What problem does it solve? Teams often jump straight to solutions without understanding users, leading to products that miss real needs. This Skill structures the full design thinking process so facilitators and product teams systematically build empathy, frame problems, ideate, prototype, and validate with users. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Five-Phase Guided Workflow: Walks users through Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test phases with structured prompts and energy checkpoints. - Method Selection from CSV: Loads a design-methods.csv catalog and recommends 3-5 phase-appropriate methods based on context, resources, and constraints. - Structured Session Output: Generates a complete design thinking session document from a Markdown template covering challenge statements, POV statements, How Might We questions, prototypes, and test learnings. - Use Case: A product manager exploring a new onboarding flow runs the workflow to build user empathy maps, frame How Might We questions, select ideation methods, and produce a documented session artifact for the team. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to run a design thinking session for your product challenge, for example: "Let's run design thinking on improving our mobile checkout experience."
