design-sprint

design-sprint is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from wdavidturner/product-skills. It costs 74 tokens per session (1,179 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A five-day process for answering important product questions through sketching, prototyping, and customer testing. A prototype is a realistic trial version used to learn before building the real product.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to explore a new product or feature, resolve disagreements, test a high-stakes direction, and gather feedback from target customers.
Why use it?
It replaces long debates and months of development with a focused week of testing. Teams can discover whether an idea is promising before committing major engineering effort.

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

design-sprint 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 12d 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

What It Is

A Design Sprint is a five-day process for answering critical business questions through design, prototyping, and testing with customers. Developed by Jake Knapp at Google Ventures (now GV), it has been used by teams at Slack, Uber, Airbnb, LEGO, the New York Times, and hundreds of startups.

The core insight: Instead of debating ideas for months then building for months, compress everything into one week. By Friday, you'll have tested a realistic prototype with real customers and know whether you're on the right track.

A Design Sprint changes the defaults of how teams work:

  • Instead of endless brainstorming: structured individual sketching
  • Instead of design by committee: one Decider with authority
  • Instead of building real products: realistic "fake" prototypes
  • Instead of launching and hoping: testing with 5 target customers

When to Use It

Use a Design Sprint when:

  • You're starting something new and need to validate direction before committing engineering resources
  • Stakes are high — the project will require significant investment and you need confidence before building
  • You're stuck — the team has been debating the same ideas for weeks or months without progress
  • There's a big behavioral risk — the product requires customers to change how they work or think
  • You need alignment — stakeholders have different visions and you need a forcing function
  • Time pressure exists — you have a deadline, a launch window, or limited runway

When Not to Use It

Don't use a Design Sprint when:

  • You already have strong signal from existing customers (iterate instead)
  • The solution is obvious and low-risk (just build it)
  • Key stakeholders can't commit to the full week
  • You don't have access to target customers for testing
  • The team wants to use it as "innovation theater" without intent to act on findings
  • The problem is purely technical with no user-facing component

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.

design-sprint is a skill published in the GitHub repository wdavidturner/product-skills (20 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 74 tokens to every session and 1,179 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
