🗣 Say this to your agent

“Design a workshop for [goal] with [group]”“Plan a facilitated session to [outcome]”“Help me run a [type] workshop with my team”“Create a facilitation guide for [topic]”

What to give it

Workshop goal — what decision or output should exist at the end?
Participants — number, roles, mix of seniority
Duration — 90 min / half day / full day / multi-day
Format — in-person / remote / hybrid
Known tensions (optional) — optional — pre-existing conflicts or disagreements to navigate
Non-negotiables — anything that cannot be decided or changed in the room

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

Workshop objective is a specific output, not a vague goal ("aligned on strategy")
All activities have explicit timing and format
A decision-making protocol is agreed at the start
Activities alternate between individual work and group work
Parking lot is used actively (not a graveyard)
Close captures decisions and actions before the room empties

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not design a workshop without explicitly linking every activity to a session goal — purposeless activities waste participant time
Do not schedule more than 90 minutes of continuous structured activity without a break
Do not close a workshop without capturing decisions and actions before the room empties — post-session follow-up is too late
Do not plan a workshop without considering psychological safety for sensitive topics — establish ground rules at the start
Do not underestimate timing — add 20% buffer to all activity estimates, especially for groups over 8 people
