consult-design-thinking

consult-design-thinking is a skill for Claude Code from cogni-work/insight-wave. It costs 229 tokens per session (8,594 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guided workflow for producing one consulting deliverable through design thinking: understanding people, defining the problem, generating ideas, making a draft, and testing it. A deliverable is one concrete piece of work within a consulting project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or improve a single deliverable inside an action field by running the five design-thinking stages.
Why use it?
It gives the work a repeatable path from stakeholder evidence to a tested output while keeping the deliverable's chosen organizing framework in view.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

consult-design-thinking 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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 615 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Per-Deliverable Design Thinking

Produce one deliverable by walking it through its own design-thinking loop: empathize → define → ideate → prototype → test. The loop is scoped to a single deliverable inside one action field — there is no engagement-level phase machine. The stage methods live in $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/references/methods/ (empathy-mapping.md, hmw-synthesis.md, guided-ideation.md); this skill owns the conversation flow, the artifact, and the state writes. Schemas: $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/references/data-model.md.

The framework lens

Each deliverable's field.json entry carries chosen_framework — the structuring framework its argument takes, set once at creation and read-only thereafter (schema in $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/references/data-model.md). Its value is one of: a stable slug from $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/references/frameworks-registry.md (e.g. pyramid-principle), a "combo:<slugA>+<slugB>" pairing of two, or null.

The Prerequisite Gate (step 1) already reads field.json, so no extra read is needed. When it is non-null, resolve its one-line Structure signature from the registry's framework table (for a combo:, resolve both) and carry it into the Define and Prototype stages below: it shapes how the problem is framed and how the artifact body is organized. The registry is thin by design — it pins the signature and the stable key; supply the framework's depth at runtime, following the registry slug cell's first-party link where it has one and otherwise drawing on your own knowledge.

When chosen_framework is null — a legacy deliverable created before a framework was chosen, or a deliberate no-framework choice — run Define and Prototype exactly as written below, on their default framing and outline, with no framework structuring. Those stages do not restate this rule. The framework only adds shape when present; it never blocks production when absent.

Workflow

0. Resolve the Interaction Language

Before any user-facing output, resolve the interaction language — the workspace default, overridden by the user's message language — per $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/references/interaction-language.md, which owns the resolution ladder. Conduct the entire conversation in the resolved language. It is independent of the engagement's language field, which is the deliverable axis. This contract holds on the default path: it does not depend on an output style being active.

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.
