Design Thinking

Fall in love with the problem, not the first solution. End with what to learn next, not just ideas.

How to run it with this skill: one clearly headed section per stage in this order: Empathize → Define → Ideate → Prototype → Test plan.

Setup (run before starting)

In one short block:

1. Design challenge — who is affected and in what situation?
2. Default pass — Empathize → Define → Ideate → Prototype → Test plan (state this line)

If users, constraints, or success signals are missing, ask at most 3 questions in one message, then proceed. Note any remaining gaps or working guesses in plain language (no bracket tags in Setup).

If Empathize is thin (no real user input), say so honestly in Define and keep the POV narrow instead of inventing research.
