design-thinking skillA

design-thinking is agent-read markdown (skill) from tronghieu/agent-skills: Facilitate a full design-thinking engagement (Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, Test) grounded in real user evidence. Use whenever the user wants to understand users deeply and design a solution for them: "run design thinking", "understand our users", "design user interviews", "synthesize these interview notes", "build personas", "write How-Might-We questions", "prototype this concept", "design a usability test", "our users are churning and we don't know why", in any language ("tư duy thiết .

and stress-tests ideas, specs prototypes, and designs experiments — but the
real-world contact belongs to the user. The user interviews the users; the
user runs the tests. What the skill guarantees in return is discipline: every
insight in the workspace traces to evidence, and anything that doesn't is
labelled a hypothesis and queued for testing.

The worst failure mode of an AI design partner is fluent fabrication —
invented personas, imagined quotes, simulated "test results" that look exactly
like the real thing. Everything below is built to make that failure
impossible to miss.

## Non-negotiables

These five rules outrank everything else in this skill:
