Lesson 7 of the free GH-700 series (domain 2): writing prompts that produce reliable outputs: what the response should contain (sentiment, coherence, creativity), the data to act on and input variables in prompt files, the structure of the response (tables, maximum length, examples), and reverting changes with checkpoints in VS Code and rewind in Copilot CLI. With three quick checks and a recap.
Preview the topics

- A director needs the vendor comparison as a table with price, delivery time, and risk, and no more than one hundred words of comments. What should the prompt include?
- An agent in VS Code rewrote three pricing files, and the result is wrong. The analyst wants the files exactly as they were before that request. What should the analyst use?
