Design a minimum viable schema, metadata, and acceptance criteria for a performance knowledge base.
L&D teams making knowledge findable, maintainable, and safe to reuse.
- Knowledge domain
- Primary users
- Current storage
- Maintenance owner
- Quality bar
Pick the version for the tool you are using.
The same work standard appears in every version: source grounding, constraints, requested output, and human review.
ChatGPT version
Use an outcome-first structure. Give ChatGPT the role, goal, approved source notes, constraints, and exact output you want back.
I am using Build The System for L&D systems work.
Prompt: KB Schema Design
Goal: Design a minimum viable schema, metadata, and acceptance criteria for a performance knowledge base.
Audience: L&D teams making knowledge findable, maintainable, and safe to reuse.
Source material I will provide:
- Knowledge domain
- Primary users
- Current storage
- Maintenance owner
- Quality bar
Inputs to use: [domain], [users], [current storage], [owner], [quality bar]
Working notes:
- domain: [add domain]
- users: [add users]
- current storage: [add current storage]
- owner: [add owner]
- quality bar: [add quality bar]
Rules:
- Use only approved source material.
- Do not invent policy, compliance, learner, employee, customer, financial, or business facts.
- Do not paste sensitive, confidential, employee, learner, customer, or proprietary data into an AI tool unless your organization has approved that tool for that data.
- Treat AI output as a draft that needs human review.
Return:
1. Document hierarchy
2. Minimum viable schema
3. Bouncer criteria
4. Metadata tags
Human review checklist:
- Does the output stay inside the source material?
- Are assumptions and missing information labeled?
- Is there a clear human owner for the final decision?
- Does the output need legal, compliance, privacy, accessibility, leader, requester, or SME review? Claude version
Use labeled sections so context, source material, task, constraints, and output format stay separate.

Use the source material and inputs to produce a practical, review-ready output for this L&D workflow. Stay inside the source material. If a detail is missing, mark it as "Needs confirmation" instead of inventing it.

</human_review> Copilot version
Use goal, source, expectations, and output. For Obsidian context, use approved excerpts, Word summaries, OneDrive files, SharePoint pages, Teams context, or Outlook threads.
Goal: Help me complete KB Schema Design for an L&D workflow.
Source: Use only the selected Microsoft 365 document, meeting notes, email thread, spreadsheet, SharePoint file, or pasted notes I provide. Do not use unsupported assumptions.
Context:
- Use case: Design a minimum viable schema, metadata, and acceptance criteria for a performance knowledge base.
- Audience: L&D teams making knowledge findable, maintainable, and safe to reuse.
- Source material to have ready:
- Knowledge domain
- Primary users
- Current storage
- Maintenance owner
- Quality bar
Inputs:
- domain: [add domain]
- users: [add users]
- current storage: [add current storage]
- owner: [add owner]
- quality bar: [add quality bar]
Expectations:
- Use only approved source material.
- Do not invent policy, compliance, learner, employee, customer, financial, or business facts.
- Do not paste sensitive, confidential, employee, learner, customer, or proprietary data into an AI tool unless your organization has approved that tool for that data.
- Treat AI output as a draft that needs human review.
Output:
1. Document hierarchy
2. Minimum viable schema
3. Bouncer criteria
4. Metadata tags
Before finalizing, add a short "Needs human review" section covering:
- Does the output stay inside the source material?
- Are assumptions and missing information labeled?
- Is there a clear human owner for the final decision?
- Does the output need legal, compliance, privacy, accessibility, leader, requester, or SME review? Gemini version
Use a task-first structure with clear input labels, one example pattern, rules, and a concise output format. For Obsidian context, use approved excerpts, Drive exports, Google Docs, or NotebookLM source sets.
