SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Understanding what is inside a large SharePoint document library is time-consuming when done manually. This Skill performs a read-only analysis of the current library and produces a structured summary covering file and folder counts, file type distribution, recent activity, naming quality issues, and organization recommendations. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Library Inventory: Counts total files and folders and groups files by type such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, image, or archive. - Recent Activity Review: Identifies the most recently modified documents and highlights active folders or stale areas. - Naming Quality Detection: Flags documents with generic or non-meaningful names like Document.docx, Untitled.xlsx, Scan001.pdf, or IMG_1234.jpg. - Use Case: A site owner preparing for a content cleanup asks Copilot to review a library and receives a concise summary with recommendations for folder groupings, metadata columns, and naming standards. ## Quick Start Ask Copilot in SharePoint to analyze this document library and summarize its files, folders, file types, and recent activity.
