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.
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.
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 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.
- 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
New-Hire Onboarding Buddy
Answers new-hire questions from onboarding content only, so it never improvises company policy it was not given.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Written against a dated research brief, then checked by machine and by a human.
Slop-scan errors. The prose passed a deterministic check before a human reviewed voice and numbers.
The cost estimator recomputes to this figure and $1,034/mo at base case in a real spreadsheet engine, not a claimed number.
The six .txt blocks are the same tested blocks from the manuscript, not a re-typed copy that could drift.
Built for the person who already runs Copilot Studio.
