About

Microsoft's official skill repo: 175 skills covering Azure SDKs across Python, .NET, TypeScript, Java, and Rust, the Foundry agent platform, MCP building, cloud architecture, plus frontend skills like frontend-design-review and frontend-ui-dark-ts. Installs via the skills CLI wizard or a skill explorer with one-click install.

Honest limitations: the repo is Azure-centric — outside the Microsoft ecosystem, only a handful of skills (frontend design, MCP builder, skill creator) apply. It's under active development, so skill quality and coverage vary across languages.

What it can do

  • 175 Azure SDK and Foundry skills
  • Frontend design review and dark-UI skills
  • MCP server builder
  • Cloud solution architect patterns

Setup

  1. Run npx skills add microsoft/skills and pick skills in the wizard.
  2. Or clone and copy e.g. agent-skills/.github/skills/<name> into your project's .github/skills/.
  3. Load only the skills your project needs to avoid context rot.
