Build production Python applications on Azure using SDK best practices for AI agents and ML pipelines, content analysis and multimodal processing, vector/hybrid search, hierarchical storage and queues, event streaming with Event Hubs and Service Bus, OpenTelemetry monitoring, secure authentication and key management, plus infrastructure provisioning.
Build Azure AI Foundry agents using the Microsoft Agent Framework Python SDK (agent-framework-azure-ai). Use when creating persistent agents with AzureAIAgentsProvider, using hosted tools (code interpreter, file search, web search), integrating MCP servers, managing conversation threads, or implementing streaming responses. Covers function tools, structured outputs, and multi-tool agents.
Build container-based Foundry Agents using Azure AI Projects SDK with ImageBasedHostedAgentDefinition. Use when creating hosted agents that run custom code in Azure AI Foundry with your own container images. Triggers: "ImageBasedHostedAgentDefinition", "hosted agent", "container agent", "Foundry Agent", "create_version", "ProtocolVersionRecord", "AgentProtocol.RESPONSES", "custom agent image".
Azure AI Content Safety SDK for Python. Use for detecting harmful content in text and images with multi-severity classification. Triggers: "azure-ai-contentsafety", "ContentSafetyClient", "content moderation", "harmful content", "text analysis", "image analysis".
Azure AI Content Understanding SDK for Python. Use for multimodal content extraction from documents, images, audio, and video. Triggers: "azure-ai-contentunderstanding", "ContentUnderstandingClient", "multimodal analysis", "document extraction", "video analysis", "audio transcription".
Implement Conversational Language Understanding (CLU) using the azure-ai-language-conversations Python SDK. Use when working with ConversationAnalysisClient to analyze conversation intent and entities, building NLP features, or integrating language understanding into applications.

Select the skills you need from the wizard. Skills are installed to your chosen agent's directory (e.g., .github/skills/ for GitHub Copilot) and symlinked if you use multiple agents.
Manual installation (git clone)
# Clone and copy specific skills
git clone https://github.com/microsoft/skills.git
cp -r agent-skills/.github/skills/azure-cosmos-db-py your-project/.github/skills/
# Or use symlinks for multi-project setups
ln -s /path/to/agent-skills/.github/skills/mcp-builder /path/to/your-project/.github/skills/mcp-builder
# Share skills across different agent configs in the same repo
ln -s ../.github/skills .opencode/skills
ln -s ../.github/skills .claude/skills
Coding agents like Copilot CLI and GitHub Copilot in VS Code are powerful, but they lack domain knowledge about your SDKs. The patterns are already in their weights from pretraining. All you need is the right activation context to surface them.
[!IMPORTANT] Use skills selectively. Loading all skills causes context rot: diluted attention, wasted tokens, conflated patterns. Only copy skills essential for your current project.
