Description

Create dt-handoff-problem-space.prompt.md — the Problem Space exit handoff prompt invoked when a user graduates from Methods 1-3 and chooses to hand off to the RPI pipeline. The prompt reads DT coaching artifacts, compiles them into the exit-point schema defined in the handoff contract (#583), and produces an RPI-ready document targeting task-researcher.

5-step protocol:

  1. Read Coaching State — Load and verify Methods 1-3 completion
  2. Compile DT Artifacts — Read all Method 1-3 outputs organized by method
  3. Readiness Assessment — Validate against Problem Space exit schema with quality markers
  4. Produce Handoff Artifact — Generate handoff summary per contract schema
  5. Generate RPI Entry — Create self-contained RPI handoff document for task-researcher

Related Issue(s)

Closes #590

Type of Change

AI Artifacts:

  • Reviewed contribution with prompt-builder agent and addressed all feedback
  • Copilot prompt (.github/prompts/*.prompt.md)

Sample Prompts (for AI Artifact Contributions)

User Request:

Hand off the Problem Space work for my project to the RPI pipeline

Execution Flow:

  1. Read coaching state for the project, verify Methods 1-3 complete
  2. Compile all Method 1-3 artifacts (stakeholder maps, research findings, synthesis outputs)
  3. Assess readiness against Problem Space exit schema, tag gaps with quality markers
  4. Create handoff-summary.md with exit-point artifact schema from handoff contract
  5. Generate rpi-handoff-problem-space.md as self-contained context for task-researcher

Output Artifacts:

  • .copilot-tracking/dt/{project-slug}/handoff-summary.md — structured handoff summary with YAML schema
  • .copilot-tracking/dt/{project-slug}/rpi-handoff-problem-space.md — self-contained RPI entry document

Success Indicators:

  • All Method 1-3 artifacts compiled with confidence markers
  • Readiness assessment flags gaps before proceeding
  • RPI entry inlines all content (no .copilot-tracking/ path references)
  • Task-researcher can consume the handoff document directly

Testing

  • npm run lint:md — 0 errors
  • npm run lint:frontmatter — 0 errors
  • npm run lint:collections-metadata — 0 errors (design-thinking: 22 items, hve-core-all: 109 items)
  • npm run spell-check — 0 issues
  • npm run plugin:generate — successful
