View on GitHubWhat This Skill Does
A guide for building modular skills that extend AI agent capabilities, focused on Azure SDKs and Microsoft Foundry services. It defines file structure, authentication patterns, test requirements, and documentation steps for skill authors. Covers Python, .NET, Java, and TypeScript SDK patterns.
It encodes the exact file layout, SDK verb conventions, and test harness commands in one place, so skill authors don't rediscover the same patterns from scratch each time.
When to use it
- Creating a new Azure SDK skill with correct DefaultAzureCredential setup
- Organizing skill files into language and product area categories with symlinks
- Writing acceptance criteria to catch wrong import paths before publishing
- Generating test scenarios that verify SDK patterns and block common anti-patterns
- Updating the skill catalog and GitHub Pages docs site after adding a skill
