SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Many teams struggle to run consistent, human-centered design processes that reliably convert user insights into testable prototypes and clear next steps. This Skill structures the facilitation, preserves checkpoints, and produces templated artifacts so sessions are productive and repeatable.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided Workflow: A seven-step design thinking facilitation from empathize through test, with energy checkpoints and templated outputs.
  • Configurable Inputs: Loads a main configuration and a design-methods CSV to tailor methods, output paths, and facilitator settings.
  • Template-driven Artifacts: Uses a markdown template to save incremental session artifacts at each checkpoint, enabling workshop documentation and iteration.
  • Use Case: Run a focused product discovery workshop to synthesize user research, generate 20+ ideas, select top concepts, and plan rapid prototypes for validation.

Quick Start

Start a guided design thinking session by asking the assistant to run the Design Thinking Workflow for your project and include any existing user research or constraints.

FAQPage Schema
What is structured design thinking facilitation and when do I need it for product discovery?

Structured design thinking facilitation guides teams through a seven-step human-centered design process, from empathize to test. You need it to reliably convert user research and insights into testable prototypes and clear next steps during product discovery workshops.

How do I run a human-centered design workshop that generates testable prototypes?

Run a human-centered design workshop by following a guided seven-step workflow that includes energy checkpoints and template-driven artifact generation. This process helps you synthesize user research, ideate solutions, select top concepts, and plan rapid prototypes for validation.

Do I need a configuration file and CSV to facilitate structured design sessions?

Yes, facilitating structured design sessions requires a main configuration file and a design-methods CSV. These inputs tailor the facilitation methods, define output paths, and set user identity and language preferences for the workshop's templated artifacts.

What's the best way to document ideation and user research outputs during a design workshop?

The best way to document ideation and user research outputs is using a template-driven markdown system that saves incremental session artifacts at each workflow checkpoint. This ensures workshop documentation is consistent, productive, and repeatable.

Can I use this to plan user testing after synthesizing UX research?

Yes, you can use this to plan user testing after synthesizing UX research. The workflow guides you from empathize through test, allowing you to synthesize research, generate ideas, select concepts, and create a structured plan for rapid prototype validation.
