How does the skill handle interruptions?

It uses an interruption-safe flow. If you ask a meta-question like 'how many questions are left?', it answers directly, restates your current progress, and then resumes the workshop.

Is this skill specific to Product Management?

While built on PM battle-tested methods, the facilitation pattern can be applied to any interactive session requiring structured pacing and progress tracking.

What are the different entry modes available?

The skill offers three modes: Guided mode for step-by-step questions, Context Dump for pasting existing info, and Best Guess mode for AI-driven inference of missing details.

Can I skip the interactive questions if I'm in a hurry?

Yes, you can request a 'fast path' or single-shot output to skip multi-turn facilitation and receive a condensed result immediately.

How do I provide answers to the facilitator?

You can use simple numbers (e.g., '1'), multi-select (e.g., '1 and 3'), or custom text. The skill is designed to parse and synthesize these into the next workshop step.
