Can Claude help facilitate a live team workshop?

Yes, the skill includes specific facilitation prompts, timers, and activity guides (like Crazy 8s) designed to help a moderator lead a team through the creative process.

What methodology does this Design Thinking skill follow?

It follows the industry-standard Stanford d.school framework, which consists of five phases: Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test.

What kind of prototyping guidance is provided?

It offers principles for low-fidelity prototyping, including paper sketches, digital wireframes, and 'Wizard of Oz' testing to ensure you learn quickly without over-investing.

How does it handle user research data?

The skill can ingest interview transcripts, observation notes, and feedback to generate empathy maps and affinity diagrams, helping you identify core user needs and pain points.
