Based on Jake Knapp's Sprint methodology developed at Google Ventures. ### When to Sprint | Signal | Sprint Is Right | Sprint Is Wrong | |--------|----------------|-----------------| | Problem clarity | Big problem, unclear solution | Solution already known — just build it | | Stakes | High — wrong direction costs months | Low — easy to course-correct later | | Team alignment | Disagreement on approach | Team already aligned | | Time pressure | Need answers this week | Can run a longer discovery process | | Complexity | Cross-functional problem | Single-discipline task | ### The 5-Day Structure | Day | Focus | Key Activity | Output | |-----|-------|-------------|--------| | **Monday** | Map | Define the challenge, set a 2-year goal, map the problem space, pick a target | Sprint questions, problem map, target area | | **Tuesday** | Sketch | Review existing solutions, each person sketches solutions individually | Solution sketches (one per person) | | **Wednesday** | Decide | Present sketches, vote (dot voting + decider picks), create storyboard | Storyboard for prototype | | **Thursday** | Prototype | Build a realistic facade — just enough to test | Testable prototype | | **Friday** | Test | 5 user intervie...

design-sprint

Run a structured 5-day process to prototype, test, and validate product ideas with real users. Use when the user mentions "design sprint", "validate before we build", "rapid prototype", "test with users", or "should we build this". Also trigger when a team is stuck in endless debate over a high-stakes product decision, or wants to de-risk a costly idea before investing in development. Covers mapping, sketching, deciding, prototyping, and testing across Monday-Friday. For ongoing experimentation and MVPs, see lean-startup. For customer job analysis, see jobs-to-be-done.

adoption-sprint-designer

Design structured AI adoption sprints (hackathons, pilots, onboarding experiences) with clear objectives, participant selection, buddy pairing, demo format, and activity-based measurement — saved to $HOME/.ai-first-kit/. Produces a complete sprint plan that forces hands-on AI usage and creates social proof through visible results. Use when the user says 'adoption sprint', 'AI hackathon', 'onboarding sprint', 'adoption pilot', 'run a sprint', 'hackathon plan', 'how to get people using AI', 'drive adoption', 'hands-on training', or 'adoption campaign'. Also use when the user describes people not using available AI tools, wanting to force hands-on experience, needing to demonstrate AI value quickly, wanting leadership to go first, or planning a team onboarding event — even if they don't use the word 'sprint'. This skill MUST be consulted because it produces a structured sprint plan with participant pairing, measurement framework, and leadership sequencing; a conversational answer cannot create the complete adopt
