SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Teams often spend weeks debating product ideas without structured validation. This Skill guides the first three days of a Jake Knapp design sprint, turning open-ended problems into a mapped customer journey, eight divergent sketches, and a Decider-approved storyboard ready for prototyping. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Monday Mapping: Set a Long-Term Goal, invert risks into 3 Sprint Questions, and draw a 5-15 step Customer Journey Map on tldraw or Markdown. - Tuesday Divergence: Run Lightning Demos with Stitch MCP and generate eight labeled Crazy 8s variations using the Pencil.dev headless pen CLI. - Wednesday Decision: Execute the Sticky Decision Funnel (Heatmap voting, Speed Critique, Decider Supervote) and produce a 10-15 panel storyboard with .stitch/DESIGN.md tokens. - Use Case: A product team redesigning a checkout flow uses this Skill to map the journey, generate eight Pencil.dev concepts for the payment step, and hand a locked storyboard to the Thursday prototype build. ## Quick Start Run a design sprint for our onboarding flow: set the long-term goal, write 3 sprint questions, map the journey, and produce a 12-panel storyboard.

Frequently Asked Questions about design-sprint

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a Jake Knapp design sprint?▼

Follow the three facilitated modes: Monday mapping sets a Long-Term Goal, 3 Sprint Questions, and a 5-15 step journey map; Tuesday generates Lightning Demos and Crazy 8s sketches; Wednesday runs the Sticky Decision Funnel ending in a Decider Supervote and a 10-15 panel storyboard.

How to generate Crazy 8s sketches with Pencil.dev?▼

Use the headless pen CLI with a prompt file to create a .pen file containing eight labeled frames, each varying layout, hierarchy, or interaction while keeping the user, goal, and content constant. Export a review image with pen --export for heatmap voting.

What is the difference between tldraw and Stitch in a design sprint?▼

tldraw handles low-fidelity work like journey maps, Crazy 8s grids, and storyboard frames with bound arrows on a live canvas. Stitch MCP generates high-fidelity UI screens from text prompts for Lightning Demos and synthesizes .stitch/DESIGN.md design tokens.

Can I import an existing iOS app screen into Pencil.dev?▼

Pencil.dev cannot import a running iOS app as editable layers. Capture Simulator screenshots with xcrun simctl, import the PNG as a locked reference, then recreate the SwiftUI or UIKit view as editable layers using the screenshot for visual accuracy.

When should I not use a 5-day design sprint?▼

Skip the sprint when the problem is already well-defined with a validated solution, when no Decider can commit to the week, or when the work is incremental optimization rather than a big unresolved risk. The sprint targets high-stakes questions needing fast evidence.
