# DT Coaching Foundation, Skill Entry

This `SKILL.md` is the **entrypoint** for the Design Thinking coaching foundation knowledge.

The dt-coach agent loads this skill at session start and during a coaching session to
ground coaching behavior in a stable identity, enforce quality and fidelity expectations,
navigate method transitions, persist and recover session state, and run the opt-in
canonical deck workflow. The foundation knowledge stays constant across all nine
Design Thinking methods.
