Part one · Shared foundations

Decisions every AI user encounters.

Choose the best next step given the scenario. Select one answer for each question.

01A confident answer with a missing source

An AI assistant summarizes a public policy document and adds a deadline you cannot find in the source. What is the best next step?

Unanswered · AI literacy

02A draft that misses the audience

You ask an assistant to summarize a public report. The output is long, technical, and unsuitable for your team. Which revision is most useful?

Unanswered · Prompting

03A workflow is bigger than a prompt

Your team wants AI to turn incoming requests into weekly work assignments. Some requests are incomplete, and priorities change. How should you start?

Unanswered · Task decomposition

04An assistant that can take action

A tool-using assistant can draft and send customer replies. You are testing it for the first time. What is the most appropriate starting boundary?

Unanswered · Agents and tool use

05One good result is not a test set

An assistant produces a helpful answer for your first example. What would give you better evidence before using it regularly?

Unanswered · Verification

06Useful data, uncertain permission

A colleague proposes pasting a private customer spreadsheet into a new AI service to save time. Its approval status is unclear. What should you do?

Unanswered · Responsible use and governance

Part two · AI at work

Apply it to your path.

07Meeting notes with no owner

Your fictional meeting notes say a proposal needs review but name no owner. You want an AI-generated action list. Which instruction helps?

Unanswered · Prompting

08A spreadsheet explanation

AI says a public sample spreadsheet shows a 20% rise in costs. You will include the claim in an internal draft. What should you check?

Unanswered · Verification

09A complaint needs judgment

An approved AI tool drafts a reply to a customer complaint. The draft promises compensation your role cannot authorize. What is the next step?

Unanswered · Responsible use and governance

Feedback explains the recommended decision in each scenario.

Original instrument ai-skills-practice/1. Rule-based feedback, not AI grading or an official benchmark score.

Beyond the self-check · AI at work

Turn public notes into a checked handoff

Write a fictional meeting note with three decisions, one unresolved question, and one missing owner. Use an approved AI tool to draft a handoff for a colleague. Work locally with fictional information.

Make these artifacts

  1. Your original notes and task prompt.
  2. The AI draft, with unsupported statements marked.
  3. A corrected handoff listing decisions, owners, open questions, and source references.

Review your work

  • Does every decision trace back to the notes?
  • Are missing owners and deadlines marked unknown instead of invented?
  • Could a colleague act on the handoff without guessing?

Do this exercise outside the quiz. This page does not collect or review your work. A lab sample can support a learning conversation; it does not establish production competence, certification, or employment readiness.

How this feedback works

Each original scenario has one recommended choice for its stated context. The six dimensions organize learning feedback; each draws on only one or two questions on your path. A missed choice suggests something to practise, not a validated skill deficit.

This educational instrument is separate from the FDE Benchmark method v0.1. Official scoring remains inactive. The self-check is not a validated assessment or credential.

No account or personal details needed. Choices are held only in page memory until you reset or leave. A downloaded record is yours to keep.
