Azure Confidential Ledger Skill

This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Confidential Ledger. Covers troubleshooting, decision making, security, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. It combines local quick-reference content with remote documentation fetching capabilities.

How to Use This Skill

IMPORTANT for Agent: Use the Category Index below to locate relevant sections. For categories with line ranges (e.g., L35-L120), use read_file with the specified lines. For categories with file links (e.g., [security.md](security.md)), use read_file on the linked reference file

IMPORTANT for Agent: If metadata.generated_at is more than 3 months old, suggest the user pull the latest version from the repository. If mcp_microsoftdocs tools are not available, suggest the user install it: Installation Guide

This skill requires network access to fetch documentation content:

Preferred: Use mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch with query string from=learn-agent-skill. Returns Markdown.
Fallback: Use fetch_webpage with query string from=learn-agent-skill&accept=text/markdown. Returns Markdown.

Quality Notes

Excellent category-driven index structure (Troubleshooting, Decision Making, Security, Integrations & Coding Patterns, Deployment) with URL references to authoritative Microsoft Learn documentation
Clear instructions for agents on tool usage preferences (mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch with fallback to fetch_webpage)
Helpful metadata check for outdated content (3-month staleness warning)
Strong scope boundaries: explicitly excludes related services (Azure Confidential Computing, Virtual Enclaves, Key Vault, PostgreSQL) to prevent agent confusion
Reference table structure is scannable and well-organized with topic descriptions
Implicit versioning via metadata.generated_at aids content currency tracking
Well-scoped network access: documentation fetching only, no write operations or credential handling
No supporting reference files (security.md, etc.) referenced in instructions, but this is acceptable as the skill delegates to remote documentation
