Design and facilitate any workshop, working session, or collaborative meeting.

  • Works in 3 steps: [Specific output 1 — e.g. "Agreed on the… → [Specific output 2] → [Specific output 3]

What it does

Workshop Facilitation Guide is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Design and facilitate any workshop, working session, or collaborative meeting. Use when asked to plan a workshop, design a facilitated session, run a ideation session, or create a workshop agenda. Produces a complete facilitation guide with session design, activity instructions, timing, and materials.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Education, covering Training and onboarding materials and Brainstorming. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to plan a workshop
  • Design a facilitated session
  • Run a ideation session
  • Create a workshop agenda

Example prompts

  • “/workshop-facilitation-guide”

Workflow steps

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

  1. [Specific output 1 — e.g. "Agreed on the top 3 priorities for Q3"]
  2. [Specific output 2]
  3. [Specific output 3]

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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

Workshop Facilitation Guide loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 83 tokens; SKILL.md has 792 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~83
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.

Workshop Facilitation Guide Skill

Produces a complete facilitation guide for any workshop — from a 90-minute problem-solving session to a full-day strategy workshop. Includes step-by-step activity instructions and facilitation moves for when things go off track.

Required Inputs

Ask the user for these if not provided:

  • 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 — pre-existing conflicts or disagreements to navigate)
  • Non-negotiables (anything that cannot be decided or changed in the room)

Output Structure


Workshop Facilitation Guide: [Session Name]

Date: [TBD / as provided] Duration: [X hours] Participants: [N people, roles] Format: [In-person / Remote / Hybrid] Facilitator: [Leave for user]


Workshop Objectives

By the end of this session, the group will have:

  1. [Specific output 1 — e.g. "Agreed on the top 3 priorities for Q3"]
  2. [Specific output 2]
  3. [Specific output 3]

How we will know it worked: [Observable test for success — e.g. "Everyone can name the agreed priorities without looking at their notes"]


Pre-Workshop Preparation

Facilitator:

  • Confirm objectives with session sponsor (30 min pre-read call recommended)
  • Send pre-read to participants [X days before] — max 2 pages
  • Prepare all materials (printed / Miro boards / slides)
  • Set up room or virtual space

Participants (pre-work):

  • [Specific pre-work — max 20 minutes. If more, fewer people do it]

Activity Instructions

For each activity:

Activity [N]: [Name]

Purpose: [Why this activity at this moment] Time: [X minutes] Format: [Individual / Pairs / Small groups / Whole group] Materials: [Post-its, Miro, printed sheets, etc.]

Instructions to give participants:

"[Exact words to say when launching the activity — unambiguous, no jargon]"

Step-by-step:

  1. [What happens in minute 0–X]
  2. [What happens next]
  3. [How to consolidate and move forward]

If the group gets stuck: [Specific facilitation move — e.g. "Ask each person to write one idea silently before sharing"] Watch out for: [Common failure mode — e.g. "One voice dominating. Use round-robin to surface quieter participants"] Time warning: [What to do if running long — e.g. "Skip the prioritisation vote and let facilitator propose the top 3"]


Decision-Making Protocol

Agree this with the group at the start:

How decisions will be made in this session:

  • Consensus (everyone must actively agree)
  • Consent (no one has a blocking objection)
  • Majority vote (50%+1)
  • Facilitator/sponsor decides after hearing input

What happens with unresolved disagreements: [Parking lot / escalate to sponsor / decide by [person] after session]

Facilitation Moves (Quick Reference)

SituationMove
Silence after a question"Take 2 minutes to write your thoughts before we share"
One person dominating"Let's hear from someone we haven't heard from yet"
Off-topic tangent"That's important — let me put it in the parking lot. Back to [focus]"
Group stuck, no ideas"What would [competitor / different industry] do here?"
No consensus, running out of time"Let's do a quick dot vote to identify the strongest options"
Energy low after lunch"Stand up and tell the person next to you your one key takeaway so far"

Close: Commitments and Next Steps

End every session with:

  1. What did we decide? — Read back every decision made. Ask: "Does anyone have a concern with how I've captured this?"
  2. What will we do? — Specific actions, named owners, concrete deadlines
  3. Who needs to know? — Who will communicate outputs to absent stakeholders, and how?
  4. When do we meet again? — Schedule the follow-up before the room empties

Quality Checks

  • 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

Anti-Patterns

  • 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

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "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]"
