name: microsoft-skill-creator description: Create agent skills for Microsoft technologies using Learn MCP tools. Use when users want to create a skill that teaches agents about any Microsoft technology, library, framework, or service (Azure, .NET, M365, VS Code, Bicep, etc.). Investigates topics deeply, then generates a hybrid skill storing essential knowledge locally while enabling dynamic deeper investigation. context: fork compatibility: Requires Microsoft Learn MCP Server (https://learn.microsoft.com/api/mcp)

Microsoft Skill Creator

Create hybrid skills for Microsoft technologies that store essential knowledge locally while enabling dynamic Learn MCP lookups for deeper details.

Prerequisites: Connect to the Microsoft Learn MCP Server

IMPORTANT: This skill requires the Microsoft Learn MCP Server (type: http, url: https://learn.microsoft.com/api/mcp). If it's not already connected, you MUST install and configure it yourself. Ask the user for permission if needed. It's a free, official Microsoft-owned MCP, no API key or authentication required.

About Skills

Skills are modular packages that extend agent capabilities with specialized knowledge and workflows. A skill transforms a general-purpose agent into a specialized one for a specific domain.

Skill Structure

`` skill-name/ ├── SKILL.md (required) # Frontmatter (name, description) + instructions ├── references/ # Documentation loaded into context as needed ├── sample_codes/ # Working code examples └── assets/ # Files used in output (templates, etc.) `

Key Principles

  • Frontmatter is critical: name and description determine when the skill triggers—be clear and comprehensive
  • Concise is key: Only include what agents don't already know; context window is shared
  • No duplication: Information lives in SKILL.md OR reference files, not both

Learn MCP Tools

| Tool | Purpose | When to Use | |------|---------|-------------| | microsoft_docs_search | Search official docs | First pass discovery, finding topics | | microsoft_docs_fetch | Get full page content | Deep dive into important pages | | microsoft_code_sample_search | Find code examples | Get implementation patterns |

Creation Process

Step 1: Investigate the Topic

Build deep understanding using Learn MCP tools in three phases: Phase 1 - Scope Discovery: ` microsoft_docs_search(query="{technology} overview what is") microsoft_docs_search(query="{technology} concepts architecture") microsoft_docs_search(query="{technology} getting started tutorial") ` Phase 2 - Core Content: ` microsoft_docs_fetch(url="...") # Fetch pages from Phase 1 microsoft_code_sample_search(query="{technology}", language="{lang}") ` Phase 3 - Depth: ` microsoft_docs_search(query="{technology} best practices") microsoft_docs_search(query="{technology} troubleshooting errors") ` #### Investigation Checklist After investigating, verify:
  • [ ] Can explain what the technology does in one paragraph
  • [ ] Identified 3-5 key concepts
  • [ ] Have working code for basic usage
  • [ ] Know the most common API patterns
  • [ ] Have search queries for deeper topics

Step 2: Clarify with User

Present findings and ask:
  • "I found these key areas: [list]. Which are most important?"
  • "What tasks will agents primarily perform with this skill?"
  • "Which programming language should code samples prioritize?"

Step 3: Generate the Skill

Use the appropriate template from skill-templates.md: | Technology Type | Template | |-----------------|----------| | Client library, NuGet/npm package | SDK/Library | | Azure resource | Azure Service | | App development framework | Framework/Platform | | REST API, protocol | API/Protocol | #### Generated Skill Structure ` {skill-name}/ ├── SKILL.md # Core knowledge + Learn MCP guidance ├── references/ # Detailed local documentation (if needed) └── sample_codes/ # Working code examples ├── getting-started/ └── common-patterns/ `

Step 4: Balance Local vs Dynamic Content

Store locally when:
  • Foundational (needed for any task)
  • Frequently accessed
  • Stable (won't change)
  • Hard to find via search
Keep dynamic when:
  • Exhaustive reference (too large)
  • Version-specific
  • Situational (specific tasks only)
  • Well-indexed (easy to search)
#### Content Guidelines | Content Type | Local | Dynamic | |--------------|-------|---------| | Core concepts (3-5) | ✅ Full | | | Hello world code | ✅ Full | | | Common patterns (3-5) | ✅ Full | | | Top API methods | Signature + example | Full docs via fetch | | Best practices | Top 5 bullets | Search for more | | Troubleshooting | | Search queries | | Full API reference | | Doc links |

Step 5: Validate

  • Review: Is local content sufficient for common tasks?
  • Test: Do suggested search queries return useful results?
  • Verify: Do code samples run without errors?

Common Investigation Patterns

For SDKs/Libraries

` "{name} overview" → purpose, architecture "{name} getting started quickstart" → setup steps "{name} API reference" → core classes/methods "{name} samples examples" → code patterns "{name} best practices performance" → optimization `

For Azure Services

` "{service} overview features" → capabilities "{service} quickstart {language}" → setup code "{service} REST API reference" → endpoints "{service} SDK {language}" → client library "{service} pricing limits quotas" → constraints `

For Frameworks/Platforms

` "{framework} architecture concepts" → mental model "{framework} project structure" → conventions "{framework} tutorial walkthrough" → end-to-end flow "{framework} configuration options" → customization `

Example: Creating a "Semantic Kernel" Skill

Investigation

` microsoft_docs_search(query="semantic kernel overview") microsoft_docs_search(query="semantic kernel plugins functions") microsoft_code_sample_search(query="semantic kernel", language="csharp") microsoft_docs_fetch(url="https://learn.microsoft.com/semantic-kernel/overview/") `

Generated Skill

` semantic-kernel/ ├── SKILL.md └── sample_codes/ ├── getting-started/ │ └── hello-kernel.cs └── common-patterns/ ├── chat-completion.cs └── function-calling.cs `

Generated SKILL.md

`markdown
name: semantic-kernel description: Build AI agents with Microsoft Semantic Kernel. Use for LLM-powered apps with plugins, planners, and memory in .NET or Python.

Semantic Kernel

Orchestration SDK for integrating LLMs into applications with plugins, planners, and memory.

Key Concepts

  • Kernel: Central orchestrator managing AI services and plugins
  • Plugins: Collections of functions the AI can call
  • Planner: Sequences plugin functions to achieve goals
  • Memory: Vector store integration for RAG patterns

Quick Start

See getting-started/hello-kernel.cs
