This skill should be used when the user asks to "create an agent instruction", "add agent instructions", "scaffold an agent sample", "create a system prompt sample", "add a system prompt", "create a new agent", "build an agent", or needs to create a new agent instruction sample with proper folder structure, README, and sample.json metadata inside the agent-instructions folder. Do NOT use this skill for simple prompt samples that are not agent instructions.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Create an Agent Instruction / System Prompt Sample This skill guides creating new agent instruction samples for the pnp/copilot-prompts repository. These samples live inside `samples/agent-instructions/` and represent agents whose system prompt / instructions are the contribution. Contributors build an agent in Microsoft Copilot Studio and share the instructions (system prompt) that power it. ## Before Starting **Critical**: Always ask the user for the following information before scaffolding: 1. **Agent name** — a short, descriptive name for the agent (e.g., "Communication Assistant", "Smart Crop Doctor", "Elevator Pitch Alchemist") 2. **Agent instructions / system prompt** — the full system prompt text that defines the agent's behavior, personality, skills, and operating principles 3. **Summary** — a short description of what the agent does and why it's useful 4. **Use case category** — one or more categories the agent falls into: - 🎮 **Gaming** — AI-powered game ideas, NPC interactions, procedural storytelling - 📚 **Storytelling & Creative Writing** — Fiction, poetry, and immersive storytelling prompts …

How to install
mdr add pnp/copilot-prompts/create-system-prompt@sha256:197f1ed6c81d1be1The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260903.fcff00d, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
