Design Thinking learning curriculum covering nine progressive modules across the full Problem, Solution, and Implementation Space methods plus a shared manufacturing reference scenario for teaching and practice

🧩 One of 7 skills in the microsoft/hve-core package — works on its own, and pairs well with its siblings.

This is the playbook your agent receives when the skill activates — you don't need to read it to use the skill, but it's here to audit before installing.

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.
