Workflows

Workflows chain multiple skills into end-to-end sequences. Each workflow defines a sequence of skills to run in order.

WorkflowSkills chainedUse when
Feature KickoffProblem Statement -> Hypothesis -> PRD -> User StoriesStarting a new feature from scratch
Lean StartupHypothesis -> Experiment Design -> Experiment Results -> Pivot DecisionRunning a build-measure-learn cycle
Triple DiamondFull Discover -> Define -> Develop -> Deliver -> Measure -> Iterate flowEnd-to-end product development
Customer DiscoveryInterview Synthesis -> JTBD Canvas -> Opportunity Tree -> Problem StatementTransforming raw research into a validated problem
Sprint Planning (agile)Refinement Notes -> User Stories -> Edge CasesPreparing agile sprint-ready stories from a backlog (distinct from Foundation Sprint and Design Sprint)
Product StrategyCompetitive Analysis -> Stakeholder Summary -> Opportunity Tree -> Solution Brief -> ADRFraming a major strategic initiative
Post Launch LearningInstrumentation Spec -> Dashboard Requirements -> Experiment Results -> Retrospective -> Lessons LogSetting up measurement and capturing learnings after launch
Stakeholder AlignmentStakeholder Summary -> Problem Statement -> Solution Brief -> Launch ChecklistGetting leadership buy-in before committing resources
Technical DiscoverySpike Summary -> ADR -> Design RationaleEvaluating technical feasibility and architecture decisions
Foundation Sprint7 tool-foundation-sprint-* skills (readiness -> brief -> basics -> differentiation -> approach-options -> magic-lenses -> founding-hypothesis)2-day strategic-alignment workshop producing a testable Founding Hypothesis
Design Sprint7 tool-design-sprint-* skills (readiness -> brief -> map-and-target -> sketch -> decide-and-storyboard -> prototype-plan -> test-and-score)5-day prototype-and-test workshop producing a Decider’s build / iterate / pivot / stop call

How to use a workflow

/workflow-feature-kickoff "Feature name or description"

Each workflow has a corresponding /workflow-{name} slash command. You can also reference the workflow file directly.
