SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Working sessions often produce tidy notes that hide real disagreement, let the loudest or most senior voice set the frame, and end without owned decisions. This Skill supplies a guided-conversation protocol for one-on-one and multi-participant sessions so the thinking in the room is captured honestly, on time, with dissent recorded rather than smoothed over. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Guided question loop: Derives a 3-5 question budget from the deliverable, asks one question at a time with three context-aware options plus Other, and honors standing bypasses like "take your best guess" and bulk note drops. - Multi-participant room moves: Enforces reverse-seniority speaking order, silent writing before discussion, divergence before convergence, simultaneous dot voting as a heat map, and disagreement triage into facts, predictions, and values. - Session plan and record artifacts: Emits a pre-session plan and a four-section session record (Decisions, Dissent, Parking Lot, Actions) with named owners, falsifiers, and review dates, read back aloud before anyone leaves. - Use Case: A PM runs a 60-minute prioritization session where the fraud lead and engineering lead disagree. The Skill structures the debate, records the decision owner's call, and captures the dissent by name with the metric and review date that would settle it. ## Quick Start Facilitate a 60-minute working session with four stakeholders to decide our dispute acknowledgement model, and produce a session record with decisions, dissent, parking lot, and actions.

Frequently Asked Questions about workshop-facilitation

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I facilitate a workshop where stakeholders disagree?▼

Triage the disagreement first: facts get assigned to someone to check, predictions get a metric, threshold, and review date, and value conflicts go to the named decision owner. Record dissent by name in the dissenter's own words with what would change their mind.

How do I run a structured working session with a question budget?▼

Derive 3-5 questions from the deliverable, ordered broadest to finest, and ask one at a time with three context-aware options plus Other. Announce two standing bypasses, "take your best guess" and bulk note drop, and honor skip, go back, and stop-early at any turn.

Can this facilitation protocol be used inside other skills?▼

Yes, it runs in borrowed mode under host skills like lean-ux-canvas, prd-development, prioritization-advisor, and roadmap-planning. The host owns the domain gates and deliverable while this protocol supplies the loop, room moves, timeboxing, and the session record.

How do I stop the most senior person from anchoring a workshop?▼

Use reverse-seniority speaking order with the decision owner last, and run three minutes of silent independent writing before any discussion. Participants read their written answers aloud in order, so the first spoken sentence does not frame everyone else's.

What are the limitations of dot voting in group decisions?▼

Dot voting is a heat map, not a decision: votes are cast simultaneously with about a third as many votes as items, and the named decision owner still decides aloud. Treating the vote result as the decision hides minority dissent and function-level bias.
