Conversational Component Usage Prompts And Patterns

via “effective prompting techniques and context management for copilot chat”

A multi-module course teaching everything you need to know about using GitHub Copilot as an AI Peer Programming resource.

Unique: Teaches prompting as a learnable skill with specific patterns and techniques (e.g., 'explain this code', 'generate tests', 'suggest optimizations') rather than treating it as an art form. The curriculum emphasizes context management (providing relevant code snippets without overwhelming Copilot) and iterative refinement (rephrasing prompts when initial suggestions are insufficient), grounding prompting in practical, repeatable patterns.
