design-thinking

You can guide teams through the design thinking process by orchestrating a structured workflow from Frame to Test. It dispatches subagents for Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test to solve complex user-centered problems.

A living document in a design thinking workflow is a single source of truth that maintains phase artifacts and reference materials. It updates iteratively as teams progress through Frame, Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test phases.

You can run a design thinking session for business strategy challenges by applying this workflow across product-ui, system-process, and business-strategy problems. It guides teams through structured phases while generating a living design document with iterative critique.

Yes, you can use a Critic subagent to surface bias during the design process. It implements a checkpoint at every phase from Frame through Test to ensure alignment and refine solutions iteratively.

To start the Stanford d.school framework phases, simply describe your design challenge. The orchestrator will guide your team through Phase 0–5, utilizing prompts, reference catalogs, and an integrated living document to structure the workflow.

The orchestrated design thinking workflow does not run automatically without initial input; you must describe your design challenge first. It also focuses strictly on structured phases, meaning unstructured brainstorming outside the Frame to Test pipeline is not supported.
