Recipe
Workshop session designer
Build interactive workshop flows with timed segments, breakout rooms, and collaborative whiteboards — all from a single recipe file.
Overview
The workshop designer recipe transforms a YAML definition into a fully guided session. Define segments with durations, facilitator notes, participant prompts, and tool integrations. Meridian handles timing, transitions, and artifact collection.
Quick start
npx meridian init workshop --name "design-sprint" npx meridian run workshop --recipe sprint.yaml
Segment types
- Brief — facilitator presents context and goals
- Diverge — individual ideation with timed prompts
- Converge — group voting and prioritization
- Breakout — small-group discussion with whiteboard
- Retro — structured reflection and action items
Configuration
Recipes live in .meridian/workshops/. Each segment accepts a duration, optional prompts, and tool toggles for whiteboard, timer, and notes. Facilitators see a private view with speaker notes; participants see only the active prompt.
