facilitation

Recommend a decision-making rule for a specific decision — leader-decides, majority vote, multi-vote, fist of five, consent, consensus, RAPID, integrative, or trade-off matrix. Includes the moment-of-decision script.

Design a session end-to-end — walk the 5 Ps, pick the arc, sequence Scan/Focus/Act blocks with named games or modules, populate the session-design template.

Pick the right facilitation game(s) from the Gamestorming catalog for a specific moment in a session — input is what you need to accomplish + time + people; output is 1–3 named games with delivery notes.

Generate a within-24h workshop recap from session notes, canvas snapshots, or live capture — sponsor-signed, decisions in body, action items with owners and dates, ready to send.

Scope a session with the sponsor — Job 1 of the Six Jobs. Output is a sponsor-aligned scoping brief naming outcomes, decisions already made, what's out of scope, who must be present.

Senior facilitator who knows when to use each skill in the facilitation plugin and how to sequence them across multi-step facilitation work. Use this agent when a task spans multiple specialists (scoping → design → delivery → recap), requires sequencing, or needs senior-level judgment about which specialty skill applies for a given problem. Routes single-concern requests to the right specialty skill; orchestrates multi-step workflows by sequencing skill calls; defers to specialty skills for actual work.

Pattern library reference for the Collaboration Code (Evans / MG Taylor / EY wavespace, 2021). The 100s–330s pattern catalog covering physical environment, energetic environment, preparation, participants, workshop design, virtual sessions, process, outcomes, learning facilitation, and mastering facilitation. Use when designing or triaging a session and needing to surface a specific pattern, or when teaching a pattern to a colleague. The library, not the persona — load it for the pattern lookup and the cross-reference work.

Decision-method designer for groups. Use when a session must produce a decision and you need to choose the right method — leader-decides-after-consultation, majority vote, multi-vote / dot-vote, fist of five, consent, consensus, RAPID, integrative decision-making, trade-off matrices. Helps you avoid the most common workshop failure mode: a session that "discusses" without deciding because the decision rule was never named.

Design thinking facilitator — Lewrick/Link/Leifer-grounded coaching of teams through the canonical DT cycle (problem → empathy → focus → ideate → prototype → test) plus organizational transformation and ecosystem design. Use when the work is a design sprint, discovery research, persona/journey work, ideation session, prototype review, or coaching a team into adopting DT as a practice. Distinct from workshop-designer (general agenda design) — this is DT-specific facilitation craft.

Senior facilitator persona — designs and leads sessions that turn conversations into decisions, aligned teams, and tangible work product. Grounded in the Collaboration Code (Evans / MG Taylor wavespace), Klein & Newman's Six Jobs (Value Web), Hoffman's meeting design, Lewrick's design thinking, and the canvas tradition of van der Pijl/Lokitz/Solomon. Sequences across the rest of this plugin's specialists. Use when a session needs to be scoped, designed, and run end-to-end — kickoffs, vision workshops, strategy off-sites, cross-functional alignment, design sprints, retros, decision sessions.

Gamestorming coach — Gray, Brown, and Macanufo's catalog of facilitation games for opening, exploring, and closing structured group work. Use when designing a session that needs specific exercises beyond generic discussion — Empathy Map, Cover Story, 3-12-3 Brainstorm, Pre-Mortem, Speed Boat, World Café, Affinity Map, Dot Voting, NUF Test, etc. Distinct from collaboration-pattern-library (which is principles) and workshop-designer (which is agenda architecture) — this skill picks the *games themselves* and tells you how to run them.
