Workshop Authoring

Use this skill when the user wants to build teaching content, not just answer a one-off question.

Default Approach

1. Identify the audience and artifact type:
   • lab
   • deck outline
   • speaker notes
   • facilitator guide
   • prompt template
2. Reuse the existing repo labs and README before inventing new structure.
3. Check current GitHub Docs or Microsoft Learn only for details that may have changed.
4. Keep the output concise, practical, and easy to present live.

Content Rules

• Teach one concept per section.
• Favor checklists, examples, comparisons, and exercises over dense explanation.
• Tie recommendations to quality, security, cost, or developer experience.
• Prefer minimal necessary context and explicit tradeoffs.
• If source .pptx or .csv files are part of the input, use the source-material-ingestion skill first.

Recommended Artifact Shapes

• Labs: core idea, demo, hands-on exercise, practical recommendations
• Decks: section title, 3 to 5 bullets, speaker note, optional demo
• Facilitator notes: timing, goal, common failure mode, recovery guidance

Escalation

• Use GPT-5.5 for primary content construction.
• Ask the Cost Rubber Duck for a second opinion when tradeoffs, model routing, or cost guidance need a challenge pass.
