// Generates a personalized AB-100 study plan based on the user's self-assessed confidence across the three AB-100 domains, prioritizing weak areas with estimated hours and Microsoft Learn module links. Use when the user asks for a study plan, is unsure what to study, or wants exam prep guidance.
Generate AB-100 practice questions that feel like the real exam without copying it. Every item is grounded in current Microsoft Learn content, uses modern Microsoft product names (Microsoft Foundry, Copilot Studio, Microsoft Entra ID), and follows the Microsoft Worldwide Learning Exam Writing Style Guide (WWL). Use when the user asks for practice questions, quiz items, or exam prep.
Create short AB-100 practice labs (15-25 minutes) that are executable and self-validating. Every lab includes prerequisites, exact tasks, validation steps, expected outputs, and cleanup. Scope covers agent design walkthroughs, Copilot Studio authoring, Microsoft Foundry tool configuration, ALM patterns, and governance controls. Use when the user asks for a hands-on lab, practice exercise, or guided walkthrough.

Description: Generates a personalized AB-100 study plan based on the user's self-assessed confidence across exam domains, prioritizing weak areas with estimated hours and Microsoft Learn module links.
Required sources:
docs/ab100-exam-objectives.md (canonical AB-100 skills measured, synced verbatim from the Microsoft Learn study guide)microsoft_docs_search for current Learn module URLs)microsoft_docs_fetch to verify Learn module links are current and activePresent domains with weights. Show the three AB-100 domains and their exam weight percentages:
| Domain | Exam Weight |
|---|---|
| Plan AI-powered business solutions | 25-30% |
| Design AI-powered business solutions | 25-30% |
| Deploy AI-powered business solutions | 40-45% |
Offer optional finer-grained confidence ratings. The Deploy domain carries the most weight and has four subdomains. If the user wants a more targeted plan, offer to rate each subdomain separately:
Plan subdomains:
Design subdomains:
Deploy subdomains:
Ask for confidence ratings. Ask the user to rate their confidence in each area using one of these levels:
Generate a prioritized study plan. Based on the user's ratings:
docs/ab100-exam-objectives.md).Call out prerequisite gaps. AB-100 requires at least one qualifying associate-level certification (the full prerequisite list is in docs/ab100-exam-objectives.md and on the Microsoft Learn certification page). If the user mentions they lack any prerequisite, recommend the quickest path (typically AI-102 for engineers, PL-400 or PL-600 for Power Platform professionals, or MB-910 + MB-920 study paths for Dynamics 365 paths) before scheduling AB-100.
Offer to start practicing. After presenting the plan, ask: "Would you like to start with practice questions or a hands-on lab on [first recommended topic]?"

Plan prose follows the Microsoft Writing Style Guide (MWSG): warm, scannable, present-tense, sentence-style capitalization, Oxford commas, plain ASCII (no curly quotes, no en or em dashes -- use -- and ->). Override one MWSG convention: no contractions (the same rule the Microsoft Worldwide Learning Exam Writing Style Guide applies to exam items). When a plan mentions a fictional company in an example, draw from the WWL-approved list and use the full company name (a few common picks: A. Datum Corporation, Adventure Works Cycles, Blue Yonder Airlines, Contoso, Ltd., Fabrikam, Inc., Litware, Inc., Northwind Traders, Tailspin Toys, Wide World Importers, Woodgrove Bank). Always use current Microsoft product names; never use retired or legacy names.
