DT Curriculum — Skill Entry

This SKILL.md is the entrypoint for the Design Thinking learning curriculum.

The dt-learning-tutor agent loads this skill to teach Design Thinking concepts, run

comprehension checks, and assign practice exercises. The curriculum spans nine

progressive modules — one per Design Thinking method — and a shared manufacturing

reference scenario that threads through every module so learners build on consistent

context as they advance from the Problem Space to the Implementation Space.

Curriculum references

Load the module that matches the method the learner is studying. Load the manufacturing

scenario alongside any module that uses scenario-based checks or exercises.
