SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Project decisions are scattered across meeting minutes, status reports, and architecture documents, making it hard to maintain an accurate decision register without manually reviewing every artifact and risking fabricated or duplicated entries. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Evidence-Based Extraction: Identifies explicit decisions, proposals, deferrals, and superseded choices from SharePoint project documents while separating them from ordinary discussion, actions, and risks. - Register Discovery and Deduplication: Locates existing Decision Register SharePoint lists, preserves existing IDs, matches candidates against current entries, and consolidates duplicate references. - Structured Review Output: Produces a decision register summary, new candidates with confidence levels, updates to existing entries, human-review items, quality findings, and an optional standalone HTML report. - Use Case: Ask Copilot in SharePoint to review a project's steering board minutes and status reports, then receive a classified list of new decision candidates and updates ready to add to the existing Decision Register list. ## Quick Start Ask Copilot in SharePoint to build a decision register from the project documents in this site using the decision-register-builder skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a decision register from SharePoint project documents?▼

Install the skill folder containing SKILL.md into your site's Agent Assets Skills library, then ask Copilot in SharePoint to build or review a decision register. It scans meeting minutes, status reports, and existing lists to produce classified, evidence-linked entries.

How does the skill find an existing Decision Register in SharePoint?▼

It performs site-level discovery of structured SharePoint lists, matching titles like Decision Register, Decision Log, or Decisions, plus recognizable decision columns. Existing entries are treated as authoritative and IDs are never renumbered.

What counts as a decision versus a discussion or action item?▼

A Decided item requires explicit evidence of an approved, selected, rejected, or finalized choice. Recommendations, agenda topics, routine tasks, and risks alone are excluded, and low-confidence candidates are separated for human review.

Can the skill write entries directly to a SharePoint list?▼

It prepares structured entries suitable for a SharePoint list but only modifies a register when the user explicitly asks, the environment supports writes, and permissions allow it. It never claims a write succeeded unless it actually did.

What happens when evidence about a decision conflicts?▼

The skill prefers the authoritative source and newer authoritative evidence, discloses material contradictions, and marks replaced decisions as Superseded. If the current state cannot be established safely, it assigns Unknown status.

Does the decision register report require external dependencies?▼

No. The optional HTML report is a standalone HTML5 file with embedded CSS, no JavaScript, external fonts, or network access, and it is directly browser-openable and print-friendly.
