Description

Add on-demand instruction file for manufacturing industry context that provides vocabulary mapping, operational constraints, empathy tools, and a reference scenario for contextualizing Design Thinking coaching in manufacturing environments.

The manufacturing template is the first industry context module, establishing the pattern for future industry templates (healthcare, etc.). It follows the on-demand tier loading pattern (applyTo: '') so the coach loads it only when manufacturing context is relevant.

Closes #587

Type of Change

Select all that apply:

AI Artifacts:

  • Copilot instructions (.github/instructions/*.instructions.md)

Sample Prompts (for AI Artifact Contributions)

User Request:

"We're working with a manufacturing client that has quality variance across shifts. Help us plan our scope conversations."

Execution Flow:

  1. DT Coach detects manufacturing industry context from the user's description
  2. Coach loads dt-industry-manufacturing.instructions.md on demand
  3. Vocabulary mapping translates DT terminology to manufacturing equivalents (e.g., "stakeholder interview" → "operator ride-along")
  4. Constraints section surfaces safety culture, shift patterns, and union dynamics
  5. Empathy tools guide gemba walks, shift-handoff observations, and operator shadows
  6. Reference scenario provides a concrete quality-variance-across-shifts journey through all 3 DT spaces

Output Artifacts:

  • Coaching interactions use manufacturing vocabulary naturally
  • Constraint-aware recommendations (e.g., scheduling around shift changes, mandatory PPE for observations)
  • Industry-appropriate empathy tool suggestions

Success Indicators:

  • Coach uses bidirectional vocabulary mapping when discussing manufacturing engagements
  • Constraint sections prevent coaching recommendations that conflict with manufacturing realities
  • Reference scenario provides concrete examples the team can relate to

Testing

  • npm run plugin:generate — 11 plugins generated, 0 errors
  • npm run lint:all — 0 markdown errors, 0 frontmatter errors, 0 collection metadata errors (only actionlint not installed locally)

Checklist

Required Checks

  • Documentation is updated (if applicable)
  • Files follow existing naming conventions
  • Changes are backwards compatible (if applicable)
  • Tests added for new functionality (if applicable)

Required Automated Checks

  • Markdown linting: npm run lint:md
  • Spell checking: npm run spell-check
  • Frontmatter validation: npm run lint:frontmatter
  • Skill structure validation: npm run validate:skills
  • Link validation: npm run lint:md-links
  • PowerShell analysis: npm run lint:ps

Security Considerations

  • This PR does not contain any sensitive or NDA information
  • Any new dependencies have been reviewed for security issues
  • Security-related scripts follow the principle of least privilege

Additional Notes

  • First industry context template — establishes the pattern for future industry modules (feat(instructions): Create healthcare industry context template #589 healthcare)
  • On-demand tier (applyTo: '') — loaded only when the coach detects manufacturing context
  • Registered in design-thinking and hve-core-all collections
  • Plugin outputs regenerated
