workshop-board

April 2, 2026 · View on GitHub

A Claude Code skill that generates a complete, ready-to-run FigJam workshop from a brief.

Open it, walk in, run it.


What it does

Give it a challenge statement, an audience, a duration, and a headcount. It builds a structured workshop board directly on the FigJam canvas — labelled sections, written-out exercise prompts, time allocations, and facilitator notes included.

No post-processing. No filling in blanks. Just open the board and facilitate.

The four-phase arc:

PhasePurpose
Warm-upGet people out of their heads and into the room
ExploreDivergent thinking — wide before narrow, no filtering yet
ConvergeStructured prioritisation — best ideas come forward
CommitA real decision. Real next steps. Real owners.

Setup

  1. Install Claude Code
  2. Connect the Figma MCP server with FigJam write access
  3. Add this skill to your Claude config:
    {
      "skills": ["path/to/workshop-board-figma/SKILL.md"]
    }
    

Usage

/workshop-board

Claude will ask for:

  • Challenge statement — one sentence describing what the workshop needs to solve or decide
  • Audience — who's in the room (e.g. cross-functional team, design team only, client executives)
  • Duration — total time available (e.g. 60 min, 90 min, half day)
  • Participants — approximate headcount

Then it builds the board and drops it directly into your FigJam file.


What gets generated

  • Section headers per phase with time allocations
  • Exercise instructions written out in full — readable by participants without explanation
  • Sticky note zones and template areas ready to use
  • Facilitator notes with real guidance: what to watch for, how to unstick the group, what done looks like
