The per-site SharePoint location where skill files and their reference docs live. Once uploaded, every list in the site can call those skills.

Applying the same styling prompt to many lists with brand consistency held by the style skill. Scale by repetition, not template.

The starter SharePoint site used in the video — a small set of lists (product launch milestones first) used to exercise the styling skill end to end.

The named values inside a style definition — primary colour, body type, default spacing. The AI plugs them into the formatting JSON it generates.

The author's example brand definition skill — earthy palette, defined typography and iconography, spacing rules. Used to make every styled list on-brand.

A short, intent-naming instruction like "style this as a timeline" — names the goal, lets the skill pick the matching pattern from the catalog.

The explicit "load skills" nudge needed when you add a skill to a site during an active session. New sessions pick it up automatically.

Same prompt, different result on each run. The AI explores the catalog rather than retrieving a fixed template — intentional creativity.

The Microsoft Pattern and Practices GitHub catalog of SharePoint list and library formatting recipes — timelines, galleries, status colours, more.

Cloning a list to compare runs with different skill sets. Same data, same prompt — the only variable is the active skills.

A small skill that tells SharePoint's AI to load the technical reference whenever a styling or design request comes in. The trigger for the knowledge.

Loading both a formatting skill and a style skill so the AI applies SharePoint patterns through the brand's design tokens — structure and skin together.

A skill that encodes a brand's design tokens and usage rules — colour, typography, iconography, spacing, layout. Generic enough for any content surface.

A single AI-readable document distilled from the PnP catalog. Describes every list-formatting pattern in detail so the model can pick one per request.
