What problem does it solve?
Teams graduating from Design Thinking coaching often lose validated context—stakeholder maps, constraints, and assumptions—when transitioning into implementation workflows. This Skill defines the handoff contract and phase-specific context so DT artifacts flow reliably into the RPI (research, plan, implement, review) pipeline.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Tiered Handoff Contract: Defines three exit points (Problem Statement Complete, Concept Validated, Implementation Spec Ready) with artifact schemas and confidence markers (validated, assumed, unknown, conflicting), all targeting rpi-research.
- Phase-Specific Context: Provides DT-aware adjustments for rpi-research, rpi-plan, rpi-implement, and rpi-review, including fidelity constraints by DT space and return-path triggers back to coaching.
- Subagent Handoff Workflow: Specifies readiness assessment, artifact compilation, and handoff validation via subagent dispatch, plus lo-fi image prompt generation for Method 5 concept visualization.
- Use Case: After completing DT Methods 1-3, a team hands off a validated problem statement and stakeholder map to rpi-research with confidence-tagged artifacts, so research prioritizes unknown assumptions instead of re-discovering context.
Quick Start
Ask the DT coach to prepare a handoff to rpi-research using the handoff contract and confidence markers for the current project artifacts.
