tool-design-sprint-readiness

tool-design-sprint-readiness is a skill for Claude Code from product-on-purpose/pm-skills. It costs 91 tokens per session (2,498 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A pre-sprint check that decides whether a team is ready to run a Design Sprint now. It returns a Go, Conditional Go, or Wait decision with the conditions and preparation needed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check the Decider, team, customer recruiting, prototype medium, and other prerequisites, then plan the required preparation or choose a smaller experiment.
Why use it?
It catches missing prerequisites before a team commits several days and recruits customers. This helps avoid starting a sprint that cannot produce a useful test.

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-readiness 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 140 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

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: 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).
  • An existing sprint commitment is on the calendar and the team wants to validate that prerequisites (Decider, customers, prototype medium) are in place.
  • Re-running a Design Sprint after an inconclusive first sprint: use to confirm the new challenge framing and customer access are ready.

When NOT to Use

  • The team has already decided to run the sprint and just needs the brief. Use tool-design-sprint-brief instead.
  • The team has no clear challenge and is still in discovery. Run problem framing or a Foundation Sprint first; a Design Sprint depends on a sprint-worthy challenge.
  • Low-stakes tweaks where five days of team time would be disproportionate. Use a lighter experiment design instead.
  • No customer access for Friday testing and no realistic recruiting plan. A Design Sprint that cannot test on Friday is just a four-day workshop with no learning event.
  • No Decider available and one cannot be appointed. Design Sprint requires fast decisions Wednesday and pre-test Thursday; without authority the sprint produces options without commitment.

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.
