What is the core Design Partner process?

The process follows five phases: Context Capture, Divergent Exploration, Convergent Selection, Visualization/Prototyping, and Critique/Iteration.

Where are my design decisions saved?

All design choices, rationales, and session history are automatically logged in a local file at .claude/dp.local.md for easy export and review.

How does it help with budget management?

The skill includes cost-conscious features like daily budget controls in the .env file and the ability to use cheaper providers like Gemini for early iterations.

Does this skill support image generation?

Yes, it integrates with DALL-E 3 and Gemini Imagen to create UI mockups, concept art, user scenarios, and marketing visuals using natural language.

Is this suitable for technical implementation?

This skill is specifically optimized for early-stage ideation and visual prototyping rather than final production design or technical code implementation.

设计工具

Guides users through a structured design thinking process to transform abstract ideas into concrete visual prototypes.

关于

Design Thinking Fundamentals empowers Claude to act as a collaborative design partner, leading users through a structured five-phase methodology including context capture, divergent exploration, and high-fidelity visualization. By applying proven ideation techniques and integrating AI image generation tools like DALL-E 3 and Gemini, this skill helps teams move from vague concepts to refined, visual prototypes while maintaining strict budget controls and logging every design decision for future reference.
