document-scanning

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the process of identifying and inventorying Office documents and PDFs within a folder, making it easier to manage and audit them for accessibility and other properties.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Document Discovery: Scans specified folders for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF files.
• Inventory Building: Creates a list of found documents, useful for tracking and management.
• Change Detection: Integrates with Git to identify modified documents since the last commit or a specific tag.
• Metadata Extraction: Can extract properties like title, author, and language from documents.
• Use Case: Automatically scan a project's documentation folder to build an inventory of all Word and PDF files, and then identify which ones have been modified in the last week for an accessibility review.

Quick Start

Scan the folder '/path/to/documents' recursively for all Office documents and PDFs, excluding temporary files and those within version control directories.
