AB-730 Prompting Fundamentals: Clear Instructions, Context, and Review

Build better Microsoft Copilot prompts by combining clear goals, useful context, constraints, examples, and review steps.

Lesson summary

Give Copilot enough direction to help by stating a clear objective, relevant context, constraints, and how you will review the result.

Key ideas

  • A good prompt states the goal, audience, source material, constraints, and desired output.
  • Context improves usefulness, but sensitive or unnecessary data should not be pasted blindly.
  • Iteration matters: refine, compare, and verify instead of accepting the first answer.
  • AB-730 scenarios often reward prompts that are specific, safe, and reviewable.
