What this skill does
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. Input Nothing required — this skill defines the facilitation protocol other interactive skills follow. Also useful: If invoked standalone, name the session you want facilitated and any context for it; that context carries into the session as answers already given. Anything supplied with the invocation itself — text after the skill name, a pasted context dump, or an appended ARGUMENTS: line — counts as answers already given. Use it and skip whatever it covers; don't re-ask. Arriving empty-handed? That works too. When another skill references this protocol, that skill's Input section governs what to provide. Example invocation: Facilitate a 45-minute retro on our failed beta launch using this protocol. 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. Application 1. Start with a brief heads-up on estimated time and number of questions. 2. …
