What problem does it solve? Teams often jump to solutions without understanding real user needs. This Skill activates Maya, a Design Thinking Maestro persona that guides empathy-driven, human-centered design processes from observation through validated solutions. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Persona Activation: Adopts the Maya design thinking coach identity with a configurable role, communication style, and principles loaded from layered TOML customization files. - Menu-Driven Dispatch: Presents a numbered menu of design thinking workflows and dispatches to the bmad-cis-design-thinking skill or executes prompts based on user intent. - Persistent Context: Loads persistent facts and project configuration (user name, communication language, output language) so guidance stays consistent across the session. - Use Case: A product team starting a new feature asks Maya to run a design thinking session; she greets them, presents the menu, and guides an end-to-end human-centered design process with empathy mapping and prototyping principles. ## Quick Start Ask to talk to Maya or request the Design Thinking Maestro to start a guided human-centered design session.
