workshop-facilitation - AI Workshop Facilitation Skills, Structured One-Question-at-a-Time Session Guidance

Skill Overview

workshop-facilitation is an interactive workshop facilitation skill: it asks one targeted question per round, displays progress labels such as Context Qx/8 in real time, and provides numbered recommendations at key decision points, keeping product workshops and facilitated sessions on track and focused, and concluding with actionable decisions.

Applicable Scenarios

1. Product team positioning workshops: Gradually gather team context according to the facilitation protocol, synthesize it, provide prioritization recommendations, and support selecting multiple options at once (for example, answering “1 and 3”).
2. Discovery sprint kickoff facilitation: Move forward with clear questions, quick-select options, and progress labels to ensure the session produces clear outcomes rather than turning into unfocused discussion.
3. Providing a unified facilitation protocol for other interactive skills: Any skill requiring multiple rounds of Q&A (such as various workshop or advisor skills) can follow this one-question-at-a-time, visible-progress, interruption-safe, resumable workflow.

Core Features

1. Three entry modes + one question at a time: At the start, preview the estimated time and number of questions, allowing you to choose among Guided (question-by-question guidance), Context dump (paste existing context), and Best guess (infer missing information and label assumptions). After that, ask only one simple, direct question per round—never multiple questions at once.
2. Visible progress and quick-select options: Each round displays progress labels such as Context Qx/8 and Scoring Qx/5, so you always know how much remains. Standard questions provide concise numbered options and accept answers such as 1, 1,3, 1 and 3, or custom text. The process advances based on your previous answers and does not repeat questions.
3. Interruption safety and decision-point recommendations: When asked a meta-question such as “How many questions are left?”, answer it directly, then restate the progress and unanswered questions. When you say “stop” or “pause,” immediately suspend the process and wait for you to explicitly resume. Numbered recommendations appear only at key decision points such as context synthesis, profile assessment, and action planning, avoiding delays caused by recommendations at every step.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does workshop-facilitation do?

It provides a standardized facilitation process for interactive AI sessions: one question at a time, visible progress, numbered recommendations at decision points, and support for interruption and resumption. You can use it directly to facilitate product workshops, discovery sprints, or retrospectives, or use it as a facilitation protocol for other interactive skills. You can also request a fast path (single-shot) to skip the multi-round Q&A and receive a concise result directly.

I already have background materials. Do I still need to answer the questions one by one?

No. At the start, choose Context dump mode and paste all known information at once. The skill will skip questions that have already been covered and continue from the first unanswered question—for example, starting directly from Context Q2/6 while keeping the progress label accurate. If you choose Best guess mode, the skill will infer missing information and clearly label its assumptions, then provide a list of “assumptions to verify” at the end for you to review.

Can I ask questions or pause during facilitation?

Yes. Any meta-question (such as “How many questions are left?”) will first receive a direct answer, followed by a restatement of the current progress and unanswered questions before the process continues. If you say “stop” or “pause,” the facilitation will be suspended immediately until you explicitly request to continue. If you include background information when making the request, that content will be treated as answers to the relevant questions, and the process will begin with the first question it does not cover, without repeating anything.
