Workflow
-
Present skill areas with weights. Show the six GH-300 skill areas and exam weight percentages:
| Skill Area | Exam Weight |
|---|
| Use GitHub Copilot responsibly | 15-20% |
| Use GitHub Copilot features | 25-30% |
| Understand GitHub Copilot data and architecture | 10-15% |
| Apply prompt engineering and context crafting | 10-15% |
| Improve developer productivity with GitHub Copilot | 10-15% |
| Configure privacy, content exclusions, and safeguards | 10-15% |
-
Ask for confidence ratings. Ask the user to rate confidence in each area as Strong, Moderate, Weak, or Unknown.
-
Generate a prioritized study plan.
- Order areas from weakest to strongest.
- Within equal confidence levels, prioritize areas with higher exam weight.
- For each area, provide:
- Estimated study hours (weak: 8-12 hours, moderate: 4-6 hours, strong: 1-2 hours).
- Two to three specific Microsoft Learn links.
- Key objectives to focus on (from
references/gh300-objectives.md).
- Include a total estimated hours range.
-
Offer to start practicing. Ask whether the learner wants practice questions or a hands-on exercise on the first recommended topic.
-
Run quality gate. Apply resources/study-plan-quality-checklist.md and scripts/validate-output.js rules before delivering the final plan.
Guardrails
- Do not skip any skill area.
- Do not invent Microsoft Learn URLs.
- Treat Unknown confidence the same as Weak.
- Always use current terminology.
- No contractions.
Delivery rules
Deliver the full study plan in a single message after the user provides confidence ratings.
