workflow-foundation-sprint
The workflow-foundation-sprint slash command executes a structured two-day workshop that transforms early-stage product assumptions into a testable Founding Hypothesis and assumption scorecard. Use this command when an early-stage team needs strategic alignment before building, moving through seven sequential steps from readiness assessment through basics, differentiation, approach options, Magic Lenses evaluation, and final hypothesis formulation. Note that this is a workshop methodology distinct from agile sprint planning.

Run the Foundation Sprint, a structured two-day workshop (Knapp/Zeratsky) that converts fuzzy early-stage product beliefs into a single, testable Founding Hypothesis plus an assumption scorecard. This workflow chains the 7 `tool-foundation-sprint-*` skills in their canonical sequence, with `tool-note-and-vote` invoked at decision moments throughout. For each step, read the skill instructions and follow them to produce the artifact. > Note: Foundation Sprint is a workshop methodology, NOT an agile / Scrum sprint. For pm-skills' agile sprint planning, use `/workflow-sprint-planning`. ## Workflow Steps ### Step 1: Readiness Use the `tool-foundation-sprint-readiness` skill from `skills/tool-foundation-sprint-readiness/SKILL.md` to diagnose whether the team should run a Foundation Sprint now, postpone, or do prerequisite work first. ### Step 2: Brief Use the `tool-foundation-sprint-brief` skill from `skills/tool-foundation-sprint-brief/SKILL.md` to lock scope, team, logistics, and success criteria before Day 1. ### Step 3: Basics (Day 1 morning) Use the `tool-foundation-sprint-basics` skill from `skills/tool-foundation-sprint-basics/SKILL.md` to produce the target customer, important problem, team advantage, and competitor map as one coherent strategic frame. ### Step 4: Differentiation (Day 1 afternoon) Use the `tool-foundation-sprint-differentiation` skill from `skills/tool-foundation-sprint-differentiation/SKILL.md` to produce scored differentiators, a 2x2 chart, decision principles, and a Mini Manifesto. ### Step 5: Approach Options (Day 2 morning) Use the `tool-foundation-sprint-approach-options` skill from `skills/tool-foundation-sprint-approach-options/SKILL.md` to generate 3-7 candidate approaches as one-page summaries for Magic Lenses evaluation. ### Step 6: Magic Lenses (Day 2 afternoon) Use the `tool-foundation-sprint-magic-lenses` skill from `skills/tool-foundation-sprint-magic-lenses/SKILL.md` to evaluate the approaches through the 4 classic plus at least 1 custom lens, then name the top bet and a backup. ### Step 7: Founding Hypothesis (Day 2 end) Use the `tool-foundation-sprint-founding-hypothesis` skill from `skills/tool-foundation-sprint-founding-hypothesis/SKILL.md` to produce the canonical hypothesis sentence, assumption scorecard, and recommended next test. Throughout, use the `tool-note-and-vote` skill from `skills/tool-note-and-vote/SKILL.md` to run structured group decisions at each decision moment. ## Output Produce each artifact in sequence. The Founding Hypothesis (Step 7) is the final output and the input to a Design Sprint (`/workflow-design-sprint`), customer research, or a focused experiment.
