# Epic Workshop Generates and shapes Epic Web / Epic React style workshops. Encodes Kent C. Dodds' "How to be an Epic Instructor" guidance plus Epic Web's exercise-comment emoji conventions. Use whenever the user is producing teaching material in the Epic Web style — workshops, exercises, tips, recorded videos, or workshop apps. The end goal is a workshop that fits the Epic Web getting-started flow at https://www.epicweb.dev/get-started — meaning it runs in the Epic workshop app (kcdshop), follows the welcome → exercise (intro → problem → solution → outro) → outro structure, and uses the emoji-key conventions in exercise comments. ## When this skill applies Invoke when the user is doing any of: - Designing a new workshop (topics, exercises, sequencing) - Writing exercise problem/solution material - Planning workshop video recordings - Setting up the workshop app for a new workshop - Reviewing existing workshop material against Epic standards - Scheduling, pricing, or running a live workshop - Recording tips or supplementary content tied to a workshop ## Guiding principles (these override generic instructional-design advice) ### 1. Opinions and consistency The product is **the instructor's opinion**, not a survey of options. Learners are paying to skip analysis paralysis. So: - Pick one solution and teach it deeply. Don't teach Next.js + Remix + Astro side-by-side. - **Heuristic:** if it would not make sense to use both tools/approaches in the same app, teach only one
