## Facilitator Instructions

1. Give participants 5 minutes to pick one task from their role (or invent their own).
2. They spend 15 minutes building the prompt using the Prompt Anatomy worksheet (`prompt-template-worksheet.md`, included in this module).
3. They test it live in Claude. 10 minutes to iterate.
4. They document the final prompt (copy it into the Prompt Library Template).
5. Each table picks their best workflow and presents it in 2 minutes. Room votes on "most likely to actually get used Monday morning."
