| name | product-design-shared |
| description | Shared canonical references for product-design frameworks — Pyramid Principle, Working Backwards, Double Diamond, research design, methodology selection. Consumed by `product-discovery`, `product-strategy`, `working-backwards`, and `customer-research` via `${ERPAVAL_HOME}/skills/product-design-shared/references/`. Do NOT invoke this skill directly — it has no orchestrator and no assets. Load the upstream skill that owns your task (`product-discovery` for PRD / HMW / EARS, `product-strategy` for Rumelt / Wardley / Minto, etc.) and let it pull from this pool as needed.

product-design-shared — references-only pool
This skill exists so the four product-design skills above can share one
canonical copy of each framework reference. It has no SKILL behavior:
no role prompts, no orchestrator, no assets, no slash command.

Who consumes this skill
product-discovery — for PRD drafting, HMW framing, EARS specs, Jobs-to-be-Doneproduct-strategy — for Rumelt kernel, Wardley maps, Minto-structured argumentworking-backwards — for the 5-stage flow (Listen, Define, Invent, Refine, Test)customer-research — for hypothesis-driven research design
If you're trying to "use" product-design-shared, you probably want one of
those four skills instead. Pick from references/methodology-selection.md.
