# Design Sprint Use this skill at project kickoff to reduce risk before full build. ## What this skill does This skill runs a compact 5-day sprint process: - Understand and frame the problem - Generate and compare solution options - Decide what to prototype - Build a realistic prototype - Test with target users and synthesize learnings ## Best triggers Activate for requests like: - "run a design sprint" - "ideation workshop" - "validate this idea" - "test concept before build" ## 5-day structure ### Day 1: Map - Define long-term goal - Map user journey and critical moments - Pick the target area ### Day 2: Sketch - Create multiple solution sketches - Keep ideas concrete and comparable ### Day 3: Decide - Review options with clear criteria - Select one concept (or a testable combination) - Write storyboard for prototype ### Day 4: Prototype - Build a realistic enough prototype for learning - Focus on key path, not full feature depth ### Day 5: Test - Run user tests - Capture reactions, confusion points, and value signals - Convert findings into go/no-go and next steps ## Output format Return: 1. Sprint plan and participant roles 2. Daily agenda with deliverables 3. Decision criteria and scorecard 4. Prototype scope definition 5. Test script and synthesis template 6. Recommendation: ship, iterate, or stop ## Guardrails - Time-box decisions to preserve momentum. - Prototype only what is needed to learn. - Prioritize learning velocity over polish. - End with concre
