DT Curriculum — Skill Entry

This SKILL.md is the entrypoint for the Design Thinking learning curriculum.

The dt-learning-tutor agent loads this skill to teach Design Thinking concepts, run comprehension checks, and assign practice exercises. The curriculum spans nine progressive modules — one per Design Thinking method — and a shared manufacturing reference scenario that threads through every module so learners build on consistent context as they advance from the Problem Space to the Implementation Space.

Curriculum references

Load the module that matches the method the learner is studying. Load the manufacturing scenario alongside any module that uses scenario-based checks or exercises.
