Workshop Creator

Create new workshops with proper folder structure and documentation.

Required & Optional Fields

Workflow

1. Collect Information

Ask the user for workshop details. Date is required, topic is recommended.

If user doesn't have a topic, suggest ideas from /workshop-ideas.md:

cat /home/user/architect-workshops/workshop-ideas.md

Example prompt:

"What date and time is the workshop? (Date required, Time required - e.g., 21:00). Do you have a topic in mind, or should I suggest from the ideas list?"

CRITICAL: Always confirm the exact time with the user. Default is 21:00 but MUST be verified.

2. Create Workshop Folder

Create the workshop folder using the date (and optionally topic):

# Format: YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY-MM-DD-topic-slug
mkdir -p /home/user/architect-workshops/workshops/YYYY-MM-DD/assets

Example:

mkdir -p /home/user/architect-workshops/workshops/2025-01-15-claude-code-intro/assets
touch /home/user/architect-workshops/workshops/2025-01-15-claude-code-intro/assets/.gitkeep

3. Create Workshop File

Copy and fill the template from the example:

cp /home/user/architect-workshops/workshops/example/workshop.md /home/user/architect-workshops/workshops/YYYY-MM-DD/workshop.md

Then edit the file to fill in the collected details. Leave unknown fields with placeholder text for later.

4. Update Workshop Ideas (if applicable)

If the workshop topic came from workshop-ideas.md, update its status to "Planned".

5. Offer Poster Creation

After creating the workshop, ask if the user wants to generate a promotional poster using the nano-banana-poster skill.

6. Offer Presentation Creation

After discussing the poster, offer to create a presentation script using the presentation-architect skill.

Workflow for presentation creation:

1. •Gather content first - Based on the workshop topic, overview, and agenda, prepare a content outline
2. •Review with user - Present the proposed content structure to the user and ask for feedback/changes before proceeding
3. •Create presentation - Once approved, invoke the presentation-architect skill with the workshop-specific requirements

Workshop Presentation Requirements (CRITICAL):

• •The presentation content must be in Hebrew (the actual text on slides)
• •The markdown plan file can be in English, but must specify that all content should be in Hebrew
• •RTL (Right-to-Left) layout is mandatory - every slide must specify RTL flow direction
• •Add this note at the top of the presentation plan: **Language:** Hebrew | **Layout Direction:** RTL (Right-to-Left)
• •For each slide, include: **Direction:** RTL - content flows from right to left

Example prompt for presentation-architect:

"Based on the workshop content, create a presentation plan. Remember: all slide content must be in Hebrew, and every slide must use RTL layout (right-to-left flow)."

Creating the actual slides (user manual step): After the presentation plan is saved, inform the user:

"The presentation plan is ready at presentation-plan.md. To create the actual slides, open NotebookLM Studio, upload this file, and ask it to implement the presentation exactly as described."

Example Interaction

User: "Create a new workshop"

Assistant:

1. •"What date is the workshop? (Required, format: YYYY-MM-DD)"
2. •"What's the topic? I can suggest from the ideas list if you're not sure."
3. •"Any other details you want to add now? (time, WhatsApp group, Zoom link, etc.)"

After collecting:

1. •Create folder: workshops/2025-01-20-ai-intro/
2. •Create workshop.md with filled details
3. •Create assets/ subfolder
4. •Ask: "Workshop created! Want me to generate a poster for it?"
5. •After poster discussion: "Would you like me to create a presentation for this workshop? I'll first show you a content outline for your review before creating the full presentation plan."

If user wants presentation:

1. •Present content outline based on workshop details
2. •Wait for user approval/changes
3. •Create presentation using presentation-architect skill with Hebrew content and RTL layout

Folder Structure Created

workshops/
└── YYYY-MM-DD-topic/
    ├── workshop.md              # Main workshop document
    ├── presentation-plan.md     # Presentation blueprint (if created)
    └── assets/                  # Posters, slides, materials
        └── .gitkeep

Notes

• •Always use date in folder name for easy sorting
• •Topic slug should be lowercase, hyphenated (e.g., claude-code-intro)
• •Hebrew content is fine in the markdown file
• •Unfilled fields should keep placeholder format [Description here]
• •Commit changes after creating workshop
