tool-design-sprint-prototype-plan — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited tool-design-sprint-prototype-plan (Agent Skill) and scored it 91/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 1 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

Thursday is the prototype build day. This skill produces the morning planning artifact that makes the build run; it does NOT build the prototype itself. The skill assigns roles, locks the fidelity bar, drafts the Five-Act interview script, defines the trial-run gate, and confirms Friday participants. The actual building (Figma frames, slideware decks, role-play scripts, paper assemblies) is craft work the team owns through the rest of Thursday.
Family contract: docs/reference/skill-families/design-sprint-skills-contract.md. This skill is a member of design-sprint-skills.
tool-design-sprint-decide-and-storyboard; without a locked storyboard, the prototype has no spec.A single bundled artifact with five sections:
See references/TEMPLATE.md for the canonical structure and references/EXAMPLE.md for the Brainshelf book-catalog Thursday morning artifact.
Sprint book Chapter 16 defines these 5 roles. The skill assigns them; the humans fill them.
| Role | What they do | Typical owner |
|---|---|---|
| Maker | Builds the prototype surface (Figma frames, Keynote slides, role-play props). Owns visual and interaction work. | Design lead |
| Stitcher | Connects the Maker's surfaces into a coherent end-to-end flow (Figma interactions, Keynote transitions, role-play sequence). | Design lead OR engineering lead |
| Writer | Writes prototype copy (button labels, body text, error states, microcopy). Critical for credibility; bad copy breaks trust. | PM OR researcher |
| Asset Collector | Sources images, icons, sample data (book covers, names, dates, fake-but-believable data). | Anyone with free hands; often whoever isn't on the critical path. |
| Interviewer | Runs Friday's interviews. Spends Thursday afternoon drafting and mock-running the Five-Act script. | Researcher OR PM with interview experience. |
On a 4-person team, Maker and Stitcher typically merge (one design owner); Writer and Asset Collector can merge; Interviewer is always a dedicated role.
Canonical structure from Sprint book Chapter 17. The act sequence is fixed; the Tasks act is heavily customized; the other acts are mostly canonical wording.
| Act | Time | Purpose | Canonicality |
|---|---|---|---|
| Welcome | 5 min | Friendly intro; consent confirmation; explain not testing the customer | Canonical wording with team-name swap |
| Context | 5-10 min | Learn the customer's current behavior and context related to the challenge | Canonical questions; team adapts to challenge |
| Intro | 5 min | Introduce the prototype; explain it's a prototype (some things won't work) and ask the customer to think aloud | Canonical wording |
| Tasks | 20-30 min | Customer attempts the storyboard tasks; interviewer observes and probes; team observes silently from breakout room | Team-supplied wording derived from storyboard |
| Debrief | 5-10 min | Open-ended reactions; pricing questions if relevant; thank-you | Canonical structure; team adapts pricing question |
Prerequisites: tool-design-sprint-decide-and-storyboard. Prototype-plan consumes Wednesday's storyboard as the build spec. Without a storyboard, this skill has no panels to map roles against.
This skill does NOT invoke tool-note-and-vote. Thursday morning planning has no voting moment; the role plan and script decisions are Facilitator-led with Decider sign-off.
Next invocation in the sprint: tool-design-sprint-test-and-score Friday morning.
This skill ends with a Decider Checkpoint in references/TEMPLATE.md. The Decider approves the role plan, the fidelity bar in the prototype brief, the interview script's Tasks act, and the trial-run gate criteria. Once signed, the team disperses into parallel build work; the Decider returns Friday PM for the post-interview Decider review.
