A command that approves the current Design Thinking phase and moves the project to the next phase. Design Thinking is a structured process for understanding users, defining problems, exploring ideas, testing prototypes, and preparing a product brief.

Use it to approve phases such as empathize, define, ideate, prototype, or PRD and advance the session state.

It prevents the workflow from advancing until the current phase is marked ready for approval.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00010	$0.00256
Opus 5.5	$0.00004	$0.00102
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00002	$0.00051
Haiku 4.5	$0.00001	$0.00026

Measured 1mo ago against content hash 4177d3c75d2d, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-10-07, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

approve scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Approve the current Design Thinking phase.

Instructions

Read .design-thinking/state.yaml to get the active workspace
Read {workspace}/state.yaml to get the current phase and status
If phase status is not review_pending, report error: "Phase is not ready for approval (current status: {status})"
Update state:
- phases.{phase}.status: approved
- Add history entry with timestamp
Advance state:
- current_phase: {next_phase}
- phase_step: engage (or synthesize for PRD phase)
- phases.{next_phase}.status: engaging (or synthesizing for PRD phase)
Report: "Phase {phase} approved. Moving to {next_phase}."
If the approved phase was prd, report: "All phases complete! Your PRD is at {workspace}/prd.md. Use /design-thinking:handoff to prepare for vbounce."

Phase order: empathize → define → ideate → prototype → prd

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
