This is a tiny, useful module for one specific task: adding a visual display to a Copilot plugin you already have. It's more of a recipe than a course.

Who it's for
Developers with an existing Copilot plugin who need to add a visual display layer.
Who should skip it
Beginners trying to understand what Copilot plugins are or how to build the API.
Pros
Extremely short and focused.
Provides a concrete JSON template for Adaptive Cards.
The 'test your setup' part is clear.
Cons
Assumes you have a working API plugin ready.
Just a quick-start, not a deep dive into Adaptive Card design.
Skips over the API setup, which is the harder part.
This is so short it's practically a blog post. It's a recipe for swapping out a boring text response from a Copilot plugin with a formatted Adaptive Card. I had the code from the 'Build your first action' module open in VS Code, and this just bolts right on. The exercise gives you the JSON for the card template, you copy it into a new file, and then update your OpenAPI spec to point to it. That's about it.
It feels incomplete on its own. If you land here from a search, you'll be lost because it completely skips how to build the underlying API plugin. But if you do the other modules in the learning path first, it's a perfect 15-minute add-on that makes your project look much more professional. It does exactly what the title says and nothing more.
