Overview
# Agent Skills
> [!WARNING]
> Work in Progress — This repository is actively being developed.
A collection of skills, prompts, agents, and MCP server configurations designed to supercharge your AI coding agents when working with Microsoft AI SDKs and Azure services.
> 📖 Read the full blog post: [Context-Driven Development: Agent Skills for Microsoft Foundry and Azure](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/all-things-azure/context-driven-development-agent-skills-for-microsoft-foundry-and-azure/)
What's This About?
This repo embraces context-driven development — the practice of providing AI coding agents with precisely the right context at the right time. The quality of agent output is directly proportional to the quality and relevance of context it receives.
Modern coding agents (GitHub Copilot CLI, [Claude Code](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/all-things-azure/claude-code-microsoft-foundry-enterprise-ai-coding-agent-setup/), [Codex](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/all-things-azure/codex-azure-openai-integration-fast-secure-code-development/), etc.) are powerful out of the box, but they lack domain-specific knowledge about your SDKs, patterns, and best practices. This repo provides the "onboarding guides" that turn general-purpose agents into specialized experts.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Don't Use All Skills at Once — Avoid Context Rot
>
> Skills are designed to be used selectively. Context rot occurs when an agent's context window becomes cluttered with irrelevant or outdated information, degrading response quality and causing the agent to lose focus on what matters.
>
> Loading all skills at once will:
> - Dilute the agent's attention across unrelated domains
> - Waste precious context window tokens
> - Cause the agent to conflate patterns from different frameworks
>
> Only copy the specific skills that are absolutely essential for your current project.
