Each team member presents three lightning demos, and the facilitator pulls one reusable pattern out of each into a single line. Then comes the sketch assignment plan: divide the target moment between people, or swarm it with everyone on the same target. The four steps are timed — Notes at 20 minutes, Ideas at 20, Crazy 8s at 8, and the final Solution Sketch anywhere from 30 to 90. The skill orchestrates the day; it does not draw the sketches. People do that, silently and alone. What comes out is a demo board, an assignment plan, and a cohort of independent sketches headed for Wednesday's heat-map. It needs Monday's artifact from `tool-design-sprint-map-and-target`, or the day does not start. Everyone brings at least three demo sources. If the team slides into group brainstorming, the sketches converge on the loudest voice and the heat-map turns into a popularity contest — which is exactly why the facilitator keeps the room silent during sketch steps. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add product-on-purpose/pm-skills --skill tool-design-sprint-sketch -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/tool-design-sprint-sketch/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/tool-design-sprint-sketch/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add product-on-purpose/pm-skills --skill tool-design-sprint-sketch -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/tool-design-sprint-sketch/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-sketch -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/tool-design-sprint-sketch/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-sketch ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/tool-design-sprint-sketch/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add product-on-purpose/pm-skills --skill tool-design-sprint-sketch -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/product-on-purpose/pm-skills --path skills/tool-design-sprint-sketch ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/tool-design-sprint-sketch/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-sketch -a opencode ``` ### Claude.ai **Claude.ai** - Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/product-on-purpose/pm-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/tool-design-sprint-sketch/SKILL.md ## When to use it - build a lightning demo board with one pattern per example - decide who sketches which part of the target moment - walk the team through Notes, Ideas, Crazy 8s and Solution Sketch on schedule - get independent sketches that did not contaminate each other - update the recruiting tracker and confirm Friday slots ## Example prompts - run the tool-design-sprint-sketch skill, Monday's target is signed off - build the lightning demo board, three examples per person - lay out the sketch assignment plan and Tuesday timing ## Source text · SKILL.md · Apache-2.0 Below is the content of a third-party file.

Each team member produces one solution sketch individually; the skill orchestrates the day but does not author the sketches themselves. Use Tuesday morning after Monday's target moment is locked. Output is the lightning demo board, sketch assignments, and the cohort of independent sketches that become Wednesday's heat-map material. license: Apache-2.0 metadata: classification: tool version: "1.0.0" updated: 2026-07-04 tool: design-sprint move: sketch category: discovery frameworks: - design-sprint - sprint timebox_minutes: 180 roles: - facilitator - decider - pm - design - engineering - researcher - customer-expert prerequisites: - tool-design-sprint-map-and-target inputs: - map and target (from Monday) - lightning demo sources (each person brings 3 examples) - sketch assignment (divide vs swarm) outputs: - lightning demo board - sketch assignment plan - four-step sketches from each team member - recruiting tracker update author: product-on-purpose --- # Design Sprint Sketch (Tuesday) Structure Tuesday's solo-but-together work. Each team member, working independently and silently, produces lightning demos in the morning and a four-step solution sketch in the afternoon. The skill structures the activity; the humans produce the sketches. Wednesday's heat-map orientation depends on having a cohort of independent sketches that did NOT contaminate each other through group brainstorming. 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 2 of the Design Sprint and Monday's Map and Target artifact is signed off. - Each team member brings at least 3 lightning demo sources (existing products, references, analogies that bear on the challenge). - The team has accepted the silent-independent-sketching constraint and will NOT lapse into group brainstorming. - Sketches are due Tuesday end-of-day for Wednesday morning heat-map. ``` END THIRD-PARTY FILE 7d9c48ba6f21af60 The third-party file has ended.
