workshop-facilitation

Structured one-step-at-a-time facilitation pattern for interactive workshops and guided sessions. Supports three entry modes: Guided (single question per turn), Context Dump (paste known details and skip redundancies), and Best Guess (infer missing context with labeled assumptions) Provides real-time progress visibility with labels like Context Qx/8 and Scoring Qx/5 , plus enumerated recommendations only at decision points to avoid interaction drag Handles flexible multi-select responses ( 1,3 or 1 and 3 ), meta-question interruptions, and pause/resume controls without losing session state Includes quick-select numbered answer options for regular questions, context-aware progression that avoids re-asking resolved topics, and a final summary with decisions and assumptions to validate

Application

  • Start with a brief heads-up on estimated time and number of questions.
  • Ask the user to choose an entry mode:
  • 1 Guided mode (one question at a time)
  • 2 Context dump (paste known context; skip redundancies)
  • 3 Best guess mode (infer missing details and label assumptions)
  • Run one question per turn and wait for an answer before continuing.
  • Keep questions plain-language; include a short example response format when helpful.
  • Show progress each turn:
  • Context Qx/8 during context collection
  • Scoring Qx/5 during assessment/scoring
  • Ask follow-up clarifications only when they materially improve recommendation quality.
  • For regular context/scoring questions, offer quick-select numbered response options when practical:
  • Keep options concise and mutually exclusive when possible.
  • Include Other (specify) if likely answers are open-ended.
  • Accept multi-select responses like 1,3 or 1 and 3.
  • Provide numbered recommendations only at decision points:
  • after context synthesis,
  • after maturity/profile synthesis,
  • during priority/action-plan selection.
  • Accept numeric or custom choices, synthesize multi-select choices, and continue.
  • If interrupted by a meta question, answer directly, then restate progress and pending question.
  • If the user says stop/pause, halt immediately and wait for explicit resume.
  • End with a clear summary, decisions made, and (if best guess mode was used) an Assumptions to Validate list.

Examples

Opening:

"Quick heads-up: this should take about 7-10 minutes and around 10 questions. How do you want to start?

  • Guided mode
  • Context dump
  • Best guess mode"

User: "2"

Facilitator: "Paste what you already know. I’ll skip answered areas and ask only what’s missing."

Decision point after synthesis:

  • Prioritize Context Design (Recommended)
  • Prioritize Agent Orchestration
  • Prioritize Team-AI Facilitation

User: "1 and 3"

Facilitator: "Great. We’ll run Context Design first, with Team-AI Facilitation in parallel."

Common Pitfalls

  • Asking multiple questions in the same turn.
  • Offering recommendations after every answer (creates interaction drag).
  • Using shorthand labels without plain-language questions.
  • Hiding progress, so users don't know how much remains.
  • Ignoring the user's chosen option or custom direction.
  • Failing to label assumptions when running in best-guess mode.
