The GCSE framework is the 4-part prompt structure that gets the best results:
Mnemonic: Giraffes Can See Everything
| Element | What It Means | Legal Example |
|---|---|---|
| Goal | What you want Copilot to do | “Compare these two contract versions…” |
| Context | Background: audience, purpose, constraints | “…for a supply agreement between a retailer and a produce supplier…” |
| Source | Where to pull data from: files, documents, or pasted text | “…using /MSA_V1.docx and /MSA_V2.docx…” |
| Expectations | Format, tone, length, output style | “…flag changes that increase risk exposure or alter indemnification terms.” |
Remember: There are no “wrong” prompts! Natural, conversational language works great. The more specific context you provide, the better Copilot’s response will be. Experiment and iterate — you can always refine your prompt based on the results.
