# Demo Setup

## Overview

Creates demo-ready prototypes by guiding you through a simulated Design Thinking Coach session with a customer persona, then scaffolding a hi-fi prototype. The skill generates a customer persona brief with realistic conversation seeds, accelerates through DT Methods 1 through 6 with simulated customer dialogue, and scaffolds a runnable hi-fi prototype directly at Method 7. The result is a complete, runnable demo with a presenter's walkthrough guide and a video script for recording.

Primary audience: new users learning HVE Core tools.

Core design constraints:

* Every demo starts with a customer persona brief that drives the simulated conversation.
* DT Coach interactions use accelerated pacing (2 to 3 exchanges per method) for demo efficiency.
* Step 4 scaffolds the hi-fi prototype directly, handling all scaffold generation and experiment framing.
* Presenter's guide included so demos are repeatable without memorizing the flow.
* Demo video script generated for recording a polished walkthrough video.

## Prerequisites

* DT Coach agent accessible (provided by the HVE Core extension)
* `.copilot-tracking/` directory exists at the workspace root

## Quick Start

Run a demo with custom inputs:

1. Invoke `/demo-setup` with `customer={name}`, `industry={vertical}`, and optionally `persona` and `problem`.
2. The DT Coach walks through Methods 1 through 6 with a generated persona and conversation seeds.
3. At Method 7 the skill scaffolds a runnable prototype.
4. Open `index.html` in a browser and follow the presenter's guide in `README.md`.

## When to Use

- Setting up a demo for a customer, partner, or internal team to showcase HVE Core tooling
- Onboarding new users who need to see the DT Coach and prototype workflow end to end
- Preparing a conference talk, workshop, or training session that walks through the tools
- Creating a reference demo that others can replicate independently
