workshop-facilitation

Purpose

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.

Key Concepts

• One-step-at-a-time: Ask a single targeted question per turn.
• Session heads-up + entry mode: Start by setting expectations and offering Guided, Context dump, or Best guess mode.
• Progress visibility: Show user-facing progress labels like Context Qx/8 and Scoring Qx/5.
• Decision-point recommendations: Use enumerated options only when a choice is needed, not after every answer.
• Quick-select response options: For regular context/scoring questions, provide concise numbered answer options plus Other (specify) when useful.
• Flexible selection parsing: Accept #1, 1, 1 and 3, 1,3, or custom text, then synthesize multi-select choices.
• Context-aware progression: Build on previous answers and avoid re-asking resolved questions.
• Interruption-safe flow: Answer meta questions directly (for example, "how many left?"), restate status, then resume.
• Fast path: If the user requests a single-shot output, skip multi-turn facilitation and deliver a condensed result.
