Grab My Files

Collect everything your Copilot Studio agent produced in a session into one downloadable zip — on demand, in a single step.

Grab My Files gathers every file the agent generated during a session, packages them into one timestamped .zip, and hands it back as a download. It’s a deliberately lightweight utility: no bundled script, nothing to wire up — import the SKILL.md and it works.

The gap it closes

Modern Copilot Studio is a genuinely strong file generator. In a single session an agent can populate a Word doc, spin up a PDF, build an Excel sheet, produce an interactive HTML report, and more — and a busy session often produces several of them as it works.

Handed back inline as they’re made, those files are easy to use in the moment. But across a long session that’s harder than it sounds: revisions happen, new sets of content get generated, and the files just live in the chat history. That infographic the agent made early on is easy to lose track of ten tasks later — you know it exists, you just can’t find where it landed.

This skill removes the hunt. At any point you ask for everything the agent made, and you get one zip — every produced file, in a single output, without scrolling back through the conversation to collect them one at a time.

What it does

• Reads from /app/created/ — the sandbox directory where Copilot Studio writes generated files — recursively, so nested outputs (e.g. charts/adoption.png) are included, not just top-level files.
• Filters out noise — any earlier export (all_files_produced_*.zip) and hidden / system junk (.DS_Store, Thumbs.db, *.tmp, dotfiles) are skipped.
• Packages one archive named all_files_produced_<YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS>.zip (a sortable UTC timestamp), preserving the session’s folder structure inside.
• Cleans up safely — the new archive is built first, then older exports are pruned, so a failed run never destroys your previous bundle.
• Handles a subset — ask for “just the PDFs” and it zips only the matching files.
• Delivers the file — returns the finished .zip as a download, not just a “done” message. If nothing qualifies, it says so plainly instead of shipping an empty zip.

What it looks like

You ask, at any point in the session:

“Zip up everything you’ve made and give it to me.”

The agent packages the session’s outputs and hands back a single download:

all_files_produced_20260724_223104.zip
├── onboarding_overview.pdf
├── q3_headcount.xlsx
├── launch_brief.docx
└── charts/
    └── adoption_curve.png

I’ve packaged 4 files into all_files_produced_20260724_223104.zip (onboarding_overview.pdf, q3_headcount.xlsx, launch_brief.docx, charts/adoption_curve.png). It’s attached and ready to download.

Runs when you ask

The skill triggers on natural “give me my files” phrasings, for example:

• “Export all the files you produced in this session”
• “Zip up my files so I can download them”
• “Package everything you made into one download”
• “Just zip the PDFs you created and send them over”

It deliberately does not fire for adjacent-but-different asks — downloading a single named file, creating or converting a file, or persisting files to SharePoint / OneDrive / Dataverse — so it stays out of the way of those flows.

Where it fits

How it works

1. Inventories /app/created/ recursively and selects the produced files, excluding prior exports and system junk.
2. Builds the archive — a UTC-timestamped .zip that preserves relative folder structure — then prunes older exports only after it’s safely written.
3. Returns all_files_produced_<timestamp>.zip to the user as a downloadable file.

Honest boundaries

This is a convenience utility, not a storage or backup system.

• Files in /app/created/ are ephemeral — Copilot Studio’s sandbox is cleared when the session ends. The zip is a way to walk away with a session’s outputs, not a place they persist. For durable storage, route files to SharePoint, OneDrive, or Dataverse with a flow instead.
• It assumes generated files land in /app/created/.
