Crafting Effective Prompts for Copilot
Lesson 4: Build and Test Your Copilot Prompt Library
Lesson Objectives
By the end of this lesson, students should be able to:
- Build reusable prompts for recurring Copilot tasks.
- Test each prompt on several inputs, including a tricky case.
- Save and share prompts where they will be used.
Lesson Content
A prompt library turns your best prompts into tools:
- Template: replace changing details with [brackets].
- Test: run each on three inputs, including one tricky case (missing data, a very long thread, an angry tone).
- Fix: add a rule for each failure.
- Save: store prompts where you work. Many Microsoft 365 setups let you save prompts for reuse (for example, in a prompt gallery or saved prompts list); otherwise use OneNote or a shared document.
- Version: note what changed and keep the previous version until the new one proves better.
