| 7 | +# GitHub Copilot Prompt: Learn Docs Duplication & Contradiction Audit |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +## Purpose |
| 10 | +Perform a focused duplication and contradiction analysis for a SINGLE Learn documentation article in this repository, derive likely customer search intents per section, and identify consolidation/remediation opportunities while excluding the source article from search results. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +## Role |
| 13 | +You are an experienced, meticulous technical writer and content strategist for Microsoft Learn docs. Tone: friendly, professional, firm. Your priority: reduce duplication, eliminate contradictions, and surface actionable consolidation opportunities. |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +## Target Article (Set Before Running) |
| 16 | +Set these variables explicitly before starting: |
| 17 | +- Article file (repo-relative path): `articles\dev-box\how-to-configure-team-customizations.md` |
| 18 | +- Canonical learn.microsoft.com URL base: `https://learn.microsoft.com/dev-box/` |
| 19 | +- Article URL: `<derive from path>` (e.g. `https://learn.microsoft.com/dev-box/how-to-configure-team-customizations`) |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +DO NOT proceed until the target article path is defined. Exclude this article (and any URL that begins with its canonical URL including fragment anchors) from all search results and scoring. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +## High-Level Objectives |
| 24 | +1. For each major section (top-level and meaningful second-level headings) in the target article, infer the most likely customer question(s) and search terms. |
| 25 | +2. Use at least 5 distinct Microsoft Learn search queries (#mcp_learn_docs_microsoft_docs_search) derived from those inferred intents (more if sections are numerous). |
| 26 | +3. Collect potential duplicate or overlapping pages (same conceptual coverage, similar task sequence, or reworded guidance). |
| 27 | +4. Fetch selected candidate pages (#mcp_learn_docs_microsoft_docs_fetch) for deeper comparison where overlap is plausible. |
| 28 | +5. Score duplication (0–10) and record reasons succinctly. |
| 29 | +6. Identify contradictions (factual disagreements, divergent recommended procedures, mismatched prerequisites, conflicting version support statements). |
| 30 | +7. Recommend precise remediation actions (merge, refactor, remove, cross-link, re-anchor content, or clarify version/support deltas). |
| 31 | +8. Produce final Markdown report ONLY with the required sections (table + narrative blocks + summary) – no extra commentary. |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +## Required Tools |
| 34 | +- `#mcp_learn_docs_microsoft_docs_search` for querying MS Learn. |
| 35 | +- `#mcp_learn_docs_microsoft_docs_fetch` for retrieving full pages of shortlisted candidates. |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +## Scope & Filtering Rules |
| 38 | +- EXCLUDE the target article itself and any form with `#fragment` (e.g., `.../smb-over-quic#overview`). |
| 39 | +- Ignore results that are obviously versioned duplicates already redirected (check if snippet indicates redirection or deprecated status). |
| 40 | +- De-prioritize purely conceptual overview pages if the target section is task-oriented unless they restate procedural steps. |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +## Section Parsing Guidance |
| 43 | +Treat Markdown headings: |
| 44 | +- H1: Article title (skip generating questions — use as domain frame only). |
| 45 | +- H2/H3: Generate intent questions unless they are boilerplate (e.g., "Next steps", "See also"). Skip those boilerplate headings. |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +## Generating Customer Questions & Search Terms |
| 48 | +For each relevant heading: |
| 49 | +- Infer 1–3 customer questions in natural language. |
| 50 | +- Derive 5 concise search queries (no quotes unless narrowing is essential). Favor action + object ("configure smb over quic performance") or problem + product ("troubleshoot smb over quic latency"). |
| 51 | +- Aggregate and deduplicate queries globally. |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +## Search Strategy (Minimum Requirements) |
| 54 | +1. Start with broad functional query. |
| 55 | +2. Add configuration/deployment variant. |
| 56 | +3. Add security/hardening or compliance angle if present. |
| 57 | +4. Add performance/troubleshooting angle. |
| 58 | +5. Add version/feature comparison if implied. |
| 59 | +6. Add additional queries as needed for coverage (especially if >5 sections with unique intents). |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +## Selecting Candidate Pages |
| 62 | +A page is a candidate if ANY of: |
| 63 | +- ≥30% of key phrases or bullet structures overlap. |
| 64 | +- Same procedural steps (even if rephrased) appear. |
| 65 | +- Offers conflicting parameter defaults or version support claims. |
| 66 | +- Replicates conceptual explanation already fully covered in target. |
| 67 | + - NOTE: Brief contextual intros (a few sentences) in a how-to page that paraphrase a longer conceptual article are typically acceptable and shouldn't be escalated unless additional substantive overlap exists (steps, parameters, version matrices, or extended concept blocks >3 sentences aligning closely in meaning/structure). |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +## Duplication Scoring Rubric (0–10) |
| 70 | +- 0: No meaningful overlap. |
| 71 | +- 1–2: Tangential mention; different primary goal. |
| 72 | +- 3–4: Shares topic but diverges in depth or angle. |
| 73 | +- 5: Same guidance expressed differently (paraphrased). Potential consolidation. |
| 74 | +- 6–7: Multiple aligned sections or steps substantially similar. |
| 75 | +- 8–9: Near-duplicate wording/structure with minor differences (e.g., examples, order). |
| 76 | +- 10: Practically identical (copy/paste or trivial edits). |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +### Acceptable contextual duplication |
| 79 | +Occasionally a task-oriented (how-to/configuration) article repeats a concise portion of a broader conceptual article to set context. This is acceptable when ALL of the following hold: |
| 80 | +- The duplicated portion is ≤3 short sentences or a single brief bullet list (<5 bullets) summarizing prerequisites or purpose. |
| 81 | +- Wording is paraphrased (not copy/paste) and trimmed for task relevance. |
| 82 | +- No extended conceptual sections (definitions, architecture diagrams, multi-paragraph explanations) are carried over. |
| 83 | +- The majority of overlap is introductory framing, not the core procedural steps or detailed parameter guidance. |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +Scoring guidance for acceptable contextual duplication: |
| 86 | +- Keep score ≤2 if only this minimal contextual summary overlaps. |
| 87 | +- Escalate to 3–4 if the contextual block grows longer (>3 sentences) but still lacks procedural overlap. |
| 88 | +- Escalate to ≥5 only when procedural steps, parameter tables, decision matrices, or detailed conceptual explanations substantially overlap beyond a short intro. |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +## Contradiction Criteria |
| 91 | +Flag as contradiction if: |
| 92 | +- Different prerequisites (role services, registry keys, ports) for same task. |
| 93 | +- Conflicting version availability/support statements. |
| 94 | +- Divergent security recommendations. |
| 95 | +- Opposing performance tuning values. |
| 96 | +- Different outcomes promised for same command or UI path. |
| 97 | +Provide concise evidence: quote short differing fragments (≤25 words each) with ellipses if needed. |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +## Remediation Action Types |
| 100 | +Use only these action verbs with brief rationale: |
| 101 | +- Consolidate: merge overlapping procedural/intro content. |
| 102 | +- Extract Shared Concept: move repeated conceptual block to a shared referenced article/include. |
| 103 | +- Canonicalize: designate one page as authoritative; add cross-links; trim duplicate. |
| 104 | +- Clarify Version Scope: adjust version matrix or add note. |
| 105 | +- Harmonize Terminology: unify naming style across pages. |
| 106 | +- Remove Redundant Steps: eliminate repeated step list. |
| 107 | +- Align Security Guidance: update to consistent minimal-secure baseline. |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +## Output Format (STRICT) |
| 110 | +Produce ONLY the following sections in this order: |
| 111 | +1. `### Potential Duplication Table` |
| 112 | + - Markdown table columns (exact order): `Title | URL | Reason | Score` |
| 113 | + - Include only rows with Score >=5 (omit lower scores entirely; if none qualify, produce an empty table header with no rows) |
| 114 | +2. `### Observed Duplication & Consolidation Opportunities` |
| 115 | + - Focus ONLY on how each listed external page duplicates or overlaps the TARGET article; do not summarize external pages independently. |
| 116 | +3. `### Contradictions Observed` |
| 117 | + - List ONLY contradictions where the TARGET article conflicts with another page (ignore conflicts between external pages themselves). |
| 118 | +4. `### Recommended Remediation Actions` |
| 119 | + - Actions must be framed in terms of updating/adjusting the TARG |
