tool-design-sprint-brief

tool-design-sprint-brief is a skill for Claude Code from product-on-purpose/pm-skills. It costs 80 tokens per session (2,214 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A pre-work document for a Design Sprint that sets the challenge, questions, team roles, customer recruiting, prototype format, interview plan, logistics, and success criteria. A Design Sprint is a focused, multi-day process for deciding what to build and testing it quickly.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps prepare a sprint brief, organize recruiting and interviews, choose the prototype medium, assign responsibilities, and explain the sprint plan to stakeholders.
Why use it?
It aligns the team before the sprint starts and prevents the group from reopening basic questions on the first day. It also makes the time, participants, and customer work explicit.

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

tool-design-sprint-brief 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 9d 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.

Design Sprint Brief

Produce the brief that aligns the team on challenge, sprint questions, participants, customer recruiting, prototype medium, interview format, logistics, and success criteria before Monday begins. A well-built brief prevents Monday morning from opening with re-litigation of "what are we testing this week?"; a missing or vague brief almost guarantees it.

Family contract: docs/reference/skill-families/design-sprint-skills-contract.md. This skill is a member of design-sprint-skills.

When to Use

  • The readiness verdict from tool-design-sprint-readiness is Go (or Conditional Go with preconditions cleared).
  • The sprint has dates blocked on calendars and you need the artifact that names what the sprint is for.
  • The team has customer recruiting active and you need to commit a recruiting plan, honorarium budget, and Friday schedule before recruiting closes.
  • A skeptical exec wants to know "what is the team doing for five days plus customer cost?" and you need an answer that fits on two pages.

When NOT to Use

  • The sprint has already started. The brief is a prep artifact, not an in-sprint deliverable. If Monday is happening, run tool-design-sprint-map-and-target instead.
  • The readiness verdict is Wait. The brief cannot fix an unready team; close the preconditions first, then re-run readiness, then invoke this skill.
  • The team wants a stakeholder strategy document. The brief is internal prep, not an external deliverable. If a stakeholder document is needed, that is a downstream artifact (the Friday scorecard or the next-step memo).
  • Customer recruiting has not started. The brief locks the recruiting plan but cannot replace the recruiter. If no recruiter is named, go back to readiness Wait verdict.

What This Skill Produces

A single bundled artifact with nine sections:

  1. Challenge statement and why-now: one paragraph naming the testable challenge and the urgency that justifies a sprint this week vs. later.
  2. Sprint questions: 2-4 specific questions the Friday testing answers. The highest-risk assumption from any prior Foundation Sprint becomes the lead question.
  3. Decider attendance windows: the load-bearing moments (Mon AM, Wed AM, Fri PM at minimum); fully blocked if available.
  4. Team roster with role assignments: who is in the room each day and what role each person plays through the week.
  5. Customer recruiting plan: target profile, source, count, incentive, recruiter owner, recruiting deadline, Friday schedule.
  6. Prototype medium decision: clickable, slideware, service role-play, paper, physical mock, or other; with rationale.
  7. Interview format: live or remote; moderated or unmoderated; recording and consent posture; observer-room setup.
  8. Logistics plan: dates, hours, location, format (in-person, remote, hybrid), tools, daily rhythm.
  9. Success criteria: observable outcomes that mark the sprint successful or not.

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.
