Pre-sprint diagnostic that determines whether a team should run a Design Sprint now, postpone it, or do prerequisite work first. Produces a Go / Conditional Go / Wait verdict with diagnosis, recommended preconditions, attendee list, customer recruiting plan, and pre-sprint activities. Use when a team is considering starting a Design Sprint and wants a fast yes/no diagnosis before committing five days of team time and customer recruiting cost.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

# Design Sprint Readiness

Assess whether a Design Sprint fits the team's current situation. Design Sprint failure modes are expensive: five consecutive days of a 4-7 person team, plus customer recruiting cost (typically 5 strangers paid honoraria), plus the prototype build. A 30-45 minute readiness diagnostic catches the failure modes before that commitment is made.

Family contract: [`site/src/content/docs/reference/skill-families/design-sprint-skills-contract.md`](../../site/src/content/docs/reference/skill-families/design-sprint-skills-contract.md). This skill is a member of `design-sprint-skills` and conforms to the family frontmatter and Decider Checkpoint requirements.

## When to Use

- A team is considering starting a Design Sprint and needs a fast diagnosis before committing five days plus customer recruiting effort.
- A team has just completed a Foundation Sprint and is deciding whether the next test should be a Design Sprint, a smaller experiment, or direct build. The Founding Hypothesis is consumed as optional input context (no separate bridge skill artifact is required).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add product-on-purpose/pm-skills/tool-design-sprint-readiness@sha256:216ed02823567aaa

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
