About dt-curriculum
dt-curriculum is a learning skill for the dt-learning-tutor agent, covering nine progressive Design Thinking methods from problem framing through implementation. It pairs method-specific references with a shared manufacturing scenario for practice.
Key features
- 01Nine progressive method modules
- 02Problem, solution, and implementation stages
- 03Shared manufacturing practice scenario
- 04Comprehension checks and exercises
Use cases
- 01Teaching a specific Design Thinking method
- 02Practicing methods with a consistent factory scenario

From the project READMEDT 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.
