Initialize a Design Thinking coaching session with dt-coaching-foundation, establishing coach identity, boundaries, and interaction principles first.
Outputs session opening rules, coach identity, and baseline interaction conventions.
Before generating any artifact, check fidelity, quality standards, and constraints using dt-coaching-foundation.
Outputs actionable quality and fidelity checklist items.
Use dt-coaching-foundation state rules to recover the current Design Thinking coaching session state and continue.
Outputs the next coaching steps after session state recovery.
Use this skill when you need AI to behave consistently as a Design Thinking coach. It defines identity, philosophy, boundaries, and interaction conventions.
When coaching moves between Design Thinking methods or spaces, this skill provides sequencing, boundaries, and iteration rules to keep the process coherent.
When you need to continue a prior session, restore context, or resume unfinished work, this skill provides the session state schema and recovery protocol.
This document is the entry point for the Design Thinking coaching foundation. It explains how dt-coach loads core references at session start and during coaching. The five references cover coach identity, quality constraints, method sequencing, coaching state, and the optional canonical deck workflow, along with when each should be used.
This SKILL.md is the entrypoint for the Design Thinking coaching foundation knowledge.
The dt-coach agent loads this skill at session start and during a coaching session to ground coaching behavior in a stable identity, enforce quality and fidelity expectations, navigate method transitions, persist and recover session state, and run the opt-in canonical deck workflow. The foundation knowledge stays constant across all nine Design Thinking methods.
Load the reference that matches the current coaching moment.
| Reference | When to load |
|---|---|
| coaching-identity.md | At session start and throughout — establishes coach identity, Think/Speak/Empower philosophy, boundaries, and the Progressive Hint Engine. |
| quality-constraints.md | Before any artifact generation — enforces fidelity rules, anti-polish stance, and quality-by-space expectations. |
| method-sequencing.md | At method transitions and space boundaries — guides the nine-method sequence, transition protocol, and non-linear iteration. |
| coaching-state.md | For persistence and session recovery — defines the coaching state schema, update rules, and recovery protocol. |
| canonical-deck.md | For opt-in canonical deck and customer-card generation — governs activation, offer points, and the PowerPoint build branch. |

It forms the base of coaching behavior.
Use it at session start, at method transitions or space boundaries, before generating artifacts, and when restoring session state. The docs also say it stays active throughout coaching.
It includes five references: coaching-identity, quality-constraints, method-sequencing, coaching-state, and canonical-deck. They cover identity, quality, sequencing, state, and the optional deck workflow.
