  • Giving another interactive skill a consistent facilitation pattern
  • SKILL.md covers Purpose, Input, Key Concepts and Application, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

One targeted question runs per turn, opening with a heads-up on expected time and question count and a choice between guided, context-dump, or best-guess entry modes, then tracking progress with labels such as Context Qx/8 so you always know how much is left. A meta question mid-flow, how many questions remain, gets answered directly before the facilitator restates status and resumes, and a request for a single-shot output skips the multi-turn flow entirely in favor of a condensed result.

When your agent uses it

  • Giving another interactive skill a consistent facilitation pattern
  • Running a timed, multi-question session with visible progress
  • Handling an interruption mid-session without losing context

Example prompts

  • “Facilitate a 45-minute retro on our failed beta launch using this protocol.”
  • “Run this in context-dump mode, I'll paste everything I know up front.”
  • “How many questions are left in this session?”

Workflow steps

12 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Start with a brief heads-up on estimated time and number of questions.
  2. Ask the user to choose an entry mode
  3. Run one question per turn and wait for an answer before continuing.
  4. Keep questions plain-language; include a short example response format when helpful.
  5. Show progress each turn
  6. Ask follow-up clarifications only when they materially improve recommendation quality.
  7. For regular context/scoring questions, offer quick-select numbered response options when practical
  8. Provide numbered recommendations only at decision points
  9. Accept numeric or custom choices, synthesize multi-select choices, and continue.
  10. If interrupted by a meta question, answer directly, then restate progress and pending question.
  11. If the user says stop/pause, halt immediately and wait for explicit resume.
  12. End with a clear summary, decisions made, and (if best guess mode was used) an Assumptions to Validate list.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1b5a524. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Interactive Workshop Facilitation loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 668 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~42
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 668 words (~1,489 tokens).

“Provide the canonical facilitation pattern for interactive skills: one step at a time, with clear progress, adaptive recommendations at decision points, and predictable interruption handling.”
