Building Pattern Lab Workshop

As an intern fresh out of a local coding bootcamp, I was included in a meeting [where I was] tasked with building an internal training module that would explain the concepts of Pattern Lab to people across Phase2 (not just our front-end developers). The other key requirement was that it should be done in the “workshopper” format, popularized by nodeschool.io.

Pattern Lab is a fairly complex (not complicated) system with many moving parts, and the workshopper format is very good at one thing — being a terminal-based test runner for node.js. How to combine the two?
