Design Thinking → RPI Integration — Skill Entry

This skill is the entry point for Design Thinking to RPI integration knowledge.

The DT coach loads these references when Design Thinking coaching graduates into the RPI workflow. Every DT exit produces research-ready input for rpi-research. The retained downstream phases, rpi-plan, rpi-implement, and rpi-review, consume the resulting context. RPI Agent is the lifecycle wrapper when end-to-end coordination is needed; it does not replace rpi-research as the handoff target.
