Kesslernity / Copilot Agent Pack, Vol. 1

The instruction block is the easy 20 percent. This ships the other 80.

You can build a declarative Copilot Studio agent in an afternoon. Getting it past security review is the part that stalls. Six agents, each finished for governance, not a demo: paste-ready instructions, knowledge-source scoping, a DPO note, a labeled-assumption cost estimate, and a test that proves the refusals fire.

Not sure yet? Take one agent free first: the Meeting-to-Action sample, no cost.

Six governed agents, one zip 30-page PDF + 6 paste-ready .txt blocks Cost, test, and checklist workbooks included
The wedge

The instruction text is what everyone already gives away.

The six instruction blocks overlap by design with the free awesome-copilot-studio-agents repo and Microsoft's own template library. That overlap is deliberate, and it means this page has to be honest about what you're actually paying for.

What the free repo gives you

The instruction block

The role, the scope, the phrasing. Genuinely useful, and free. It is the 20 percent that gets an agent running in a demo.

What no free source ships

What gets it past review

A refusal clause proven by an included test, a hand-to-DPO governance note, and a labeled-assumption cost estimate. The undocumented 80 percent.

$49 buys the 80 percent, for all six agents:
  • A refusal clause proven by an included test script
  • A one-paragraph governance note for your DPO
  • A labeled-assumption cost estimate under the metered layer
  • A tickable governance-and-deployment checklist and runbook

If you only want the instruction text, take it from the free sample with my blessing. This pack is for the other 80 percent.

The six agents

None of them is safety-critical. That's deliberate.

Every agent runs the same anatomy: role, scope and grounding with "Allow ungrounded responses" set OFF, refusal rules, a first-turn AI-disclosure line, and escalation to a named human.

01

Meeting-to-Action

Turns one meeting's notes into an accountability record. Every action resolves to a named owner and a date, or it is flagged as missing and left unassigned. It declines to judge a named person.

02

Policy and SOP Answer

Answers questions grounded strictly on your policy and SOP knowledge sources, with escalation to a named human the moment it is asked something outside that scope.

03

Vendor and Procurement Intake

Screens vendor and procurement requests against a mandatory-field checklist, with a hard stop when a required field is missing rather than guessing it.

04

New-Hire Onboarding Buddy

Answers new-hire questions from onboarding content only, so it never improvises company policy it was not given.

05

Weekly Status Digest

Summarizes the week's status updates into one digest. It reports what was said, and it never characterizes or judges the people who said it.

06

Import-ready agent packages.zip, all 6 agents

Added July 2026: every agent also ships as a one-click Microsoft 365 Copilot upload package, with a one-page import guide PDF. Upload one, and the agent is answering in about a minute. The paste blocks remain the path for full customization; these are the fastest trial.

06

Inbox Triage and Draft

Triages and drafts replies for review. It carries a never-auto-send rule that also appears, and is proven, in its own test script.

What's inside

One zip. A guide, six blocks, three workbooks, and one-click import packages.

Not a course to watch. Paste-ready blocks and working spreadsheets, plus the license and a read-me with a real contact address.

01

Six paste-ready instruction blocks.txt

1,500 to 2,000 characters each, as plain text so they paste into the Instructions field without markdown or smart-quote corruption. Each has [BRACKETED] fill-in slots for your org names, source paths, owner, and refusal boundaries.

02

Tickable checklists workbook.xlsx, 2 tabs

A 10-item Governance and DLP checklist with a done-when condition on each item (the Purview DLP scoping trap, least-privilege scoping, the Article 50 disclosure line, the Flex Routing DPO flag), plus a 9-step deployment runbook with a target of under an afternoon per agent.

03

Cost estimator.xlsx, live formulas

A zero-rating toggle and a Y/N metered switch per agent, a low, base, and high band, pre-populated with a worked example and recomputes when you overwrite the inputs.

04

Test-script workbook.xlsx, 7 tabs

A runnable log per agent, pre-filled with each agent's acceptance and refusal cases, with Actual and Pass/Fail columns, so you can prove the refusals before you publish.

05

30-page typeset guide.pdf

Walks each agent through the same seven-part structure, prints both checklists as readable pages, and closes on a License and Contact page.

How it was made and tested

Written against a dated research brief, then checked by machine and by a human.

Zero

Slop-scan errors. The prose passed a deterministic check before a human reviewed voice and numbers.

103,400 credits

The cost estimator recomputes to this figure and $1,034/mo at base case in a real spreadsheet engine, not a claimed number.

Byte-identical

The six .txt blocks are the same tested blocks from the manuscript, not a re-typed copy that could drift.

Fit check

Built for the person who already runs Copilot Studio.

Questions

Before you buy, the honest version

What exactly do I get?
One download, a single .zip: a 30-page guide PDF; six paste-ready instruction blocks as plain .txt; an import-ready-packages folder (six one-click Copilot upload zips plus an import guide); and three workbooks (a cost estimator, a test-script log, and a tickable governance-and-deployment checklists workbook); plus a LICENSE file and a read-me with my contact address. Each deliverable is usable on its own without reading the prose.
Will it work in my setup?
You need a Copilot Studio environment, an M365 tenant with a DLP policy, and publish rights. These are declarative agents grounded on knowledge sources. No custom connector, Power Automate flow, plugin, or code is required, and none is included.
Isn't this the same as your free repo, or Microsoft's templates?
Honestly, the instruction blocks overlap with both, on purpose. The repo and Microsoft's library give you the instruction block, and that is the part everyone gives away for free. What neither ships is the refusal clause proven by an included test, the hand-to-DPO governance note, and the labeled-assumption cost estimate. If you only want the instruction text, take it from the free repo with my blessing.
Is this just AI-generated fluff?
No, and here is how to check. I drafted it against a research brief with named, dated sources, then it passed a deterministic slop scan with zero errors and a build check that opens the PDF and recomputes both workbooks in a real spreadsheet engine. A human reviewed the voice and the numbers. Where Microsoft publishes a rate but not a per-task credit count, the figures say so and are labeled assumptions.
Won't six metered agents blow up my Copilot bill?
Usually not. Microsoft added a metered layer in June 2026 on top of the flat $30-per-user seat; the seat price did not change. For internal, interactive use by people who already hold an M365 Copilot license, agent use is zero-rated, so most of these agents cost effectively $0 on top of the seat. The estimator ships with a worked example ($1,034/mo at base case for the metered cases, low $517 to high $2,068) so you budget a range.
Does this help with the EU AI Act and my DPO?
It gives you considerations to hand them, not a legal opinion. The governance note treats these agents as limited-risk productivity tools, which is what they are while you stay inside Vol. 1's scope. The checklist includes the Article 50 transparency duty (in force from August 2, 2026) as a first-turn AI-disclosure line, and flags Flex Routing for your DPO. Your DPO and counsel own the assessment.
What is the license, and can I get a refund?
Licensed, not sold: one commercial license per buyer, for use inside your own organization, not for resale or redistribution as a competing product.
