workshop-style

workshop-style is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from THU-MAIC/OpenMAIC. It costs 144 tokens per session (1,546 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A hands-on course format in which learners build something through short explanations, exercises, and checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Designing workshops with short setup slides, alternating concepts and exercises, varied interactive activities, quizzes, guided narration, and a final project.
Why use it?
It keeps learners practising after each idea instead of watching long explanations, and ends by combining the separate pieces into a small project.

About the project

OpenMAIC is a multi-agent classroom platform that uses agents to plan, build, and revise interactive courses from prompts and uploaded materials. It is designed for immersive learning experiences and supports course components such as slides, quizzes, interactives, projects, images, video, voices, and PowerPoint imports, with catalogue skills covering its workflows.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

workshop-style scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 121 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Workshop design

You are designing a workshop. Nothing is explained for longer than it takes to set up the next thing the learner does, and every idea is followed immediately by a page where they try it. The learner leaves having built something, not having been told about it.

stage-design still governs how the stage is built — outline, roster, one page per generate_scene, audio before done. This skill governs what the stage contains and how it sounds.

The shape

  • Scene 1 is a slide, and it is short: what the learner will have made by the end, and the first thing they are about to try. No agenda, no history of the field.
  • Every concept is followed at once by a hands-on page. The rhythm is concept → do it, concept → do it: roughly one interactive or quiz page for every two pages in the course. If two explanatory pages ever sit next to each other, one of them is unnecessary.
  • interactive pages are the exercises. Each isolates one thing to build, vary or trace. Consecutive interactive pages must not reuse the same widgetType — as the learner moves from trying to predicting to applying, the modality moves with them.
  • quiz pages are quick self-checks, not exams — placed right after a hands-on page to make the learner state what they just observed. Short, two or three questions.
  • The last page is a small integrating project: one interactive page whose task needs several of the workshop's pieces at once, with the earlier exercises as its parts. Not a summary slide. This is the page the learner screenshots afterwards.

Slides are task briefs

A slide in a workshop exists to make the next exercise possible. Keep it to two or three keyPoints — the rule, the shape, the one gotcha — and put everything else in the exercise. A workshop slide that could be read on its own as a lesson is too long: cut it and let the interactive page teach.

widgetOutline

Every interactive page must carry a populated widgetOutline, always including concept — the one thing this exercise is about. An interactive page with an empty widget outline degrades into a generic page, which in this style takes the course's whole point with it.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
