One wrong prompt wastes 10,000 tokens. Here’s how to make every conversation count.

This is Episode 2 of the complete 12-episode course. We learn how Copilot reads your codebase, how to control context with @ references, how to pick the right model, and the 4 prompt patterns that consistently get better results. Plus we build the TaskFlow CRUD API.
