What does this skill do?

The Workshop Facilitation Guide skill helps an agent produce complete facilitation guides for any workshop format, from a 90-minute problem-solving session to a multi-day strategy event.

It gathers the essentials first — goal and deliverables, participant mix, duration, format, and any existing tensions — then builds an agenda with step-by-step activity instructions and contingency moves for managing group dynamics.

Each guide includes a decision-making protocol, a facilitation-moves reference for tricky moments, and a close protocol that captures decisions and actions before the room empties.

  • Designs timed agendas that alternate individual and group work

  • Writes exact launch language and step-by-step activity instructions

  • Provides contingency moves for silence, domination, tangents, and low energy

  • Captures decisions and owned actions before the session ends

How it works

1

Gather the brief

The agent collects the workshop goal and deliverables, participant count and roles, duration, format, any tensions, and non-negotiable constraints.

2

Design the agenda

It builds a timed agenda that links every activity to the objectives, alternating individual and group work with breaks every 90 minutes.

3

Detail each activity

For each activity it provides purpose, timing, exact launch language, step-by-step progression, contingency moves, and failure modes to watch.

4

Set decisions and close

It defines a decision-making protocol and a close protocol that recaps decisions, assigns actions with owners and deadlines, and schedules follow-up.

Best use cases for this skill

  • Ideation sessions: Design a structured problem-solving or brainstorming workshop.

  • Strategy events: Plan a half-day or multi-day facilitated strategy session.

  • Decision workshops: Run a collaborative decision-making session with a clear protocol.

  • Remote and hybrid sessions: Adapt activities and timing for in-person, remote, or hybrid formats.
