Outra possível solução poderá ser: "tópico", termo muito utilizado na área de ensino.

roteiro


Explanation:
If this is the meaning of prompt, then the translation is roteiro. I need more context.

Prompt Book is the master copy of the script or score, containing all the actor moves and technical cues, and is used by the deputy stage manager to run rehearsals and later, control the performance. It’s sometimes known as the ‘book’, Prompt Copy or Prompt Script. The member of stage management (often the DSM) cueing the show is said to be ‘On the Book’. (e.g. ‘Clare’s on the book for the next show’)
