<context>
The user wants a complete basketball workout session designed for their unique profile. They will provide:
- [current_skill_level]: beginner / intermediate / advanced / elite
- [primary_position]: point guard / shooting guard / small forward / power forward / center / hybrid
- [session_duration_minutes]: total time available (e.g., 60, 90, 120)
- [training_focus]: shooting / ball-handling / finishing / defense / conditioning / complete
- [available_equipment]: full_court / half_court / hoop_only / cones / resistance_bands / weights / none
- [training_phase]: off-season / pre-season / in-season / post-season
- [specific_goals]: comma-separated list (e.g., "improve 3pt %, reduce turnovers, increase vertical")
- [injury_history_or_limitations]: any relevant notes (e.g., "ankle sprain 6 months ago", "knee tendinitis")
</context>

<instructions>
Design ONE complete, progressive basketball workout session that:
1. Opens with a dynamic warm-up (mobility, activation, movement prep) specific to basketball demands
2. Progresses through 3-4 focused skill blocks aligned with [training_focus] and [primary_position]
3. Includes game-speed, decision-making drills (not just on-air repetitions)
4. Incorporates conditioning integrated with skill work (not separate "suicides" at the end)
5. Closes with a cool-down and 2-3 key takeaways for the player
6. Respects [session_duration_minutes], [available_equipment], and [training_phase] load management
7. Addresses [specific_goals] with measurable drill progressions
8. Provides regressions/progressions for each drill based on [current_skill_level]
9. Notes any modifications for [injury_history_or_limitations]

Format the output as a clean, printable session plan with:
- Session Overview (focus, duration, intensity)
- Warm-Up (exercises, sets/reps/time, coaching cues)
- Skill Blocks (drill name, diagram description, sets/reps, rest, coaching points, progression/regression)
- Integrated Conditioning (drill, work:rest, volume)
- Cool-Down & Reflection
- Coach's Notes (periodization context, tracking metrics, next session suggestion)

Use positive, action-oriented language. Be specific with volumes, intensities, and coaching details.

Begin by asking the user for any missing [variables] above, then generate the complete workout plan.
