A curated collection of skills, custom agents, AGENTS.md templates, and MCP configurations from Microsoft that provide domain knowledge for AI coding agents working with Azure SDKs and Microsoft AI Foundry. Skills are installed into coding agents like GitHub Copilot CLI or VS Code Copilot to surface SDK-specific patterns and best practices on demand.
Use cases
- add Azure SDK domain knowledge to GitHub Copilot or other coding agents
- install agent skills for Microsoft AI Foundry development
- configure MCP servers and AGENTS.md templates for coding agents
- get guidance for instrumenting apps with Application Insights
- set up AI model serving on AKS with a coding agent
- build Azure AI Foundry agents using the Agent Framework SDK
- share skills across multiple AI coding agent configurations
When to choose
- you use coding agents like Copilot CLI, VS Code Copilot, or Claude Code with Azure SDKs
- you want curated, tested domain context for Microsoft AI Foundry and Azure services
- you need AGENTS.md templates or MCP configurations for your agent setup
When to avoid
- you don't use AI coding agents in your workflow
- you work exclusively outside the Azure/Microsoft ecosystem
- you need a runtime library rather than agent context files
