What it does
Design Thinking coaching foundation knowledge: coach identity and philosophy, quality and fidelity constraints, method sequencing, coaching state schema, and the canonical deck workflow
When to use it
DT Coach loads this foundation at session start, during recovery, and when method
transitions or artifact-quality decisions arise. It supplies coaching posture,
state conventions, fidelity constraints, and the opt-in canonical deck workflow.
Use dt-methods for a particular method's techniques or dt-curriculum for a
learning module; the foundation remains common across all nine methods.
Example usage
Ask DT Coach to continue a fictional maintenance-workflow session using the existing coaching state and sanitized observation notes. Explain that the team wants to make a polished prototype before validating its problem statement.
The coach should use dt-coaching-foundation to recover the current method,
surface the evidence and fidelity gap, and offer choices that help the team learn
before polishing. Expect questions and a supported next-method decision, not
invented stakeholder agreement or a finished solution from one observation.
Success is preserved session continuity and a next activity appropriate to the current space. Canonical card/deck generation remains opt-in and depends on the separate rendering capabilities; a coaching request alone does not authorize a presentation build or sharing workshop material.
