Microsoft Planetary Computer Pro Skill
This skill provides expert guidance for Microsoft Planetary Computer Pro. Covers troubleshooting, decision making, limits & quotas, security, configuration, 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.

Reference ingestion error codes for Planetary Computer Pro GeoCatalogs
This skill provides expert guidance for Microsoft Planetary Computer Pro development, covering troubleshooting, decision-making, limits, security, configuration, integrations, and deployment. It functions primarily as a structured reference index that directs agents to fetch remote documentation from Microsoft Learn using MCP tools (mcp_microsoftdocs or fetch_webpage), combined with clear categorization of topics.
Network access to microsoft.com and github.com domains for documentation fetching
Compatibility section and throughout referenced URLs
INFO
External MCP tool dependency (mcp_microsoftdocs) with fallback to fetch_webpage
