Why we included this project

Teams building on Azure or Microsoft AI Foundry can give GitHub Copilot and similar coding agents the domain knowledge they otherwise lack, by dropping these skills into the agent's directory. The repo is a curated pack of agent skills, custom agent definitions, AGENTS.md templates, and MCP server configurations, grouped by language (.NET, Python, Java, TypeScript, Rust) and by Azure service area. You install what you need through a wizard (npx skills add microsoft/skills), so the agent follows current SDK patterns, provisioning steps, and architecture rules for the services you actually use instead of guessing. Since the same skills can be symlinked across Copilot, Claude, and other agent configs, it also suits teams that want consistent agent behavior across several IDEs or repositories. Note that the project is still under active development, so individual skills will keep changing as SDK patterns evolve.
