Build and iterate

Build the smallest reusable helper from your design. Run it once. Look at the evidence. Change one thing.

The challenge

Each pair carries forward one of its two pain cards. Build the smallest helper that moves it.

Work in pairs, in your own approved AI environment. Non-sensitive material only. There is no shared friction to vote on — the pain you chose this morning is the brief.

Three steps

  1. 01Pick which of your two pain cards you are building against.
  2. 02Build the smallest reusable helper, and run it once for real.
  3. 03Inspect the evidence, change one thing, run it again.

The prompt

Build me the smallest reusable version of this helper, exactly as designed: job, inputs, output, boundary, human check. Use only the inputs I give you. Run it once on this real example, then show me the output and the assumptions you made. Stop before any external action or high-impact decision, and ask me what to improve.

Need a nudge?
  • What triggers it?
  • What evidence did the first run actually produce?
  • What is still unresolved?

If Cowork is not switched on · Use Microsoft 365 Copilot Cowork where it is switched on for you. If it is not, build the same helper as an agent or as a saved, reusable instruction — the design is portable even when the surface is not.

Submit your cowork card

Six short fields. Keep the pain and the helper distinct. Non-sensitive only. JJ releases it before it appears in the gallery.

What we leave with

Working helpers. Evidence from a real run, not promises.
