dev-camp-document

A writing workflow for producing Word documents about Microsoft technology or Copilot Dev Camp labs, with research, structure, examples, diagrams, and citations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for one-page summaries, technical guides, training material, architecture decision records, best-practice documents, comparisons, and requirements documents.
Why use it?
It organizes technical information into a finished document instead of leaving research and formatting to be done manually.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

dev-camp-document scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Dev Camp Word Document Skill

What This Skill Does

Creates a professional Word document on any Copilot Dev Camp lab or Microsoft technology topic by:

  1. Topic Confirmation — Clarifies the specific lab/topic, audience, and document type
  2. Research — Performs multiple searches across Microsoft Learn documentation
  3. Structure — Organizes findings into a logical document outline
  4. Content Creation — Generates a polished Word document with:
    • Professional header and title page
    • Table of contents (auto-generated)
    • Organized sections with clear hierarchy
    • Code examples and architecture diagrams
    • Summary tables and comparisons
    • Conclusion and next steps
    • Formatted citations and references
    • Consistent styling throughout

When to Use This Skill

Activate this skill when you need:

  • One-pager summary of a Dev Camp lab
  • Technical guide or implementation documentation
  • Architecture decision record (ADR) for a technology
  • Training material or learning guide
  • Best practices documentation
  • Quick reference guide
  • Comparison or evaluation document
  • Requirements or design document

Workflow

Step 1: Topic, Audience & Format Selection

Ask the user:

  • Topic: Which Dev Camp lab or Microsoft technology? (e.g., "Building AI Agents with Copilot")
  • Document Type: What kind of document? (e.g., "One-pager", "Technical Guide", "How-To", "Overview")
  • Audience: Who is this for? (e.g., "Developers", "Architects", "Decision Makers", "Operations")
  • Length: How detailed? (e.g., "1 page", "3-5 pages", "Comprehensive guide")

Step 2: Multi-Source Research

Conduct multiple searches to gather comprehensive content:

  1. Search: "[Topic] overview and getting started"
  2. Search: "[Topic] architecture and design patterns"
  3. Search: "[Topic] implementation guide and best practices"
  4. Search: "[Topic] code examples and quickstarts"
  5. Search: "[Topic] troubleshooting and common issues"
  6. Search: "[Topic] vs [similar technology]" (if relevant)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
