Design Thinking → RPI Integration — Skill Entry
This skill is the entry point for Design Thinking to RPI integration knowledge.
The DT coach loads these references when Design Thinking coaching graduates into the RPI workflow. Every DT exit produces research-ready input for rpi-research. The retained downstream phases, rpi-plan, rpi-implement, and rpi-review, consume the resulting context. RPI Agent is the lifecycle wrapper when end-to-end coordination is needed; it does not replace rpi-research as the handoff target.
Integration references
| Reference | When to load |
|---|
| Handoff contract | Exit points, artifact schemas, RPI input contracts, and quality markers for lateral DT-to-RPI handoff |
| Research context | DT-aware rpi-research framing for handoffs from the DT coach |
| Planning context | DT-aware rpi-plan context for plans originating from DT artifacts |
| Implement context | DT-aware rpi-implement context applying fidelity and stakeholder constraints |
| Review context | DT-aware rpi-review criteria for evaluating Design Thinking artifacts |
| Subagent handoff | Readiness assessment, artifact compilation, and validation via subagent dispatch |
| Image prompt generation | Method 5 concept visualization with lo-fi prompt enforcement |
