This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a new prompt sample", "add a new prompt sample", "scaffold a new prompt sample", "create a prompt contribution", "add a prompt", or needs to create a new prompt sample with proper folder structure, README, and sample.json metadata. Do NOT use this skill for agent instructions or system prompts.

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 a New Prompt Sample

This skill guides creating new prompt samples for the pnp/copilot-prompts repository with the correct folder structure, README, assets folder, and sample.json metadata file.

## Before Starting

**Critical**: Always ask the user for the following information before scaffolding:

1. **Prompt title** — a friendly, descriptive title (e.g., "Create Annual Sales Report template in PowerPoint")
2. **Prompt text** — the actual prompt the user wants to share
3. **Description** — a short description of what the prompt does and why it's useful
4. **Target product** — which Copilot product this prompt is for. Common values:
   - `Microsoft 365 Copilot` (for M365 prompts used in Teams, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, etc.)
   - `Microsoft Copilot` (for general Microsoft Copilot prompts)
   - `GitHub Copilot` (for GitHub Copilot prompts)
5. **App host prefix** — determines the folder name prefix. Common prefixes based on where the prompt is used:
   - `m365` — Microsoft 365 Copilot (Teams, Outlook, general M365)
   - `ppt` — PowerPoint
   - `word` — Word
   - `github` — GitHub Copilot
   - `whiteboard` — Whiteboard
   - `wellness` — Wellness / lifestyle

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add pnp/copilot-prompts/create-simple-prompt@sha256:36c63b91f13b6ad3

The 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.
