What problem does it solve? Teams often jump straight to building solutions without validating the problem, the audience, or the idea, leading to wasted effort on products nobody wants. This Skill structures ambiguous product questions through proven design thinking frameworks so decisions are grounded in research rather than intuition. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Framework Selection: Chooses between Double Diamond (ambiguous problems), GV Design Sprint (fast validation), and JTBD Switch Interviews (understanding why customers buy or churn) based on the actual situation. - Research Synthesis Pipeline: Gathers market data and pain signals via web research, distills evidence-backed insights, and grounds every solution concept in that research to avoid idea theater. - Structured Deliverables: Produces HMW statements, assumption maps, adoption forces diagrams, concept comparison tables, conviction-scored recommendations, and prototype plans, with optional canvas board visualization. - Use Case: A founder asks "Should we build a meal-planning app for busy parents?" The Skill runs a Standard-mode analysis: researches the market, frames an HMW statement, generates concepts, stress-tests adoption forces, and delivers a recommendation with a prototype plan. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to use the design-thinker skill to evaluate whether your product idea is worth pursuing and who it should target.
