## What it does

The skill structures the Monday workshop of a standard Design Sprint. It takes an approved sprint brief from `tool-design-sprint-brief`, research, and analytics. From there, the agent guides drafting a 1-5 year aspirational goal, converting team concerns into 3-7 testable sprint questions, and building a 5-15 step journey map.

During the afternoon phase, the skill assists in synthesizing expert interview transcripts and organizing 30 to 100+ How Might We notes into 4-8 thematic clusters for voting. The entire exercise stalls without a Decider present because only they can pick the target moment. That selected target anchors Tuesday sketches and Wednesday storyboard work.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add product-on-purpose/pm-skills --skill tool-design-sprint-map-and-target -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/tool-design-sprint-map-and-target/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/tool-design-sprint-map-and-target/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add product-on-purpose/pm-skills --skill tool-design-sprint-map-and-target -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/tool-design-sprint-map-and-target/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add product-on-purpose/pm-skills --skill tool-design-sprint-map-and-target -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/tool-design-sprint-map-and-target/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install product-on-purpose/pm-skills tool-design-sprint-map-and-target
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/tool-design-sprint-map-and-target/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add product-on-purpose/pm-skills --skill tool-design-sprint-map-and-target -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/product-on-purpose/pm-skills --path skills/tool-design-sprint-map-and-target
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/tool-design-sprint-map-and-target/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add product-on-purpose/pm-skills --skill tool-design-sprint-map-and-target -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

## When to use it
- Define a 1-5 year aspirational product goal
- Turn team doubts into 3-7 testable sprint questions
- Map a 5-15 step customer or system journey
- Synthesize expert interviews into clustered HMW themes
- Lock the Decider's target moment for prototyping

## Example prompts
- Draft the customer map and long-term goal for Monday of the design sprint using our brief.
- Cluster our expert interview notes and HMW cards into themes for heat-map voting.
- Package Monday's bundled artifact with the Decider's selected target moment.

# Design Sprint Map and Target (Monday)

Produce Monday's bundled artifact: the long-term goal that names success in 1-5 years; 3-7 sprint questions converting team fears into testable risks; a 5-15 step customer or system map from key player to outcome; expert interview notes from cameo experts run in parallel; HMW (How Might We) clusters synthesized from the team; and the Decider's chosen target moment. Monday's output becomes Tuesday's design target.

Family contract: [`docs/reference/skill-families/design-sprint-skills-contract.md`](../../docs/reference/skill-families/design-sprint-skills-contract.md). This skill is a member of `design-sprint-skills`.

## When to Use

- It is Day 1 of the Design Sprint and the brief is locked (via `tool-design-sprint-brief`).
- The team is together (in-person, remote, or hybrid) for the full Monday workshop.
- Expert interviews are scheduled for Monday afternoon (cameo role; 15-30 minutes each).
- The team needs to converge from "five days of work ahead" to "this specific target moment is what we're prototyping."

## When NOT to Use

- The brief is not locked. Return to `tool-design-sprint-brief`; without sprint questions, this skill has nothing to converge toward.
