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

Well-structured Category Index with clear line ranges and descriptive labels helps agents locate relevant sections efficiently
Provides dual access paths (preferred MCP tool + fallback) for documentation retrieval, supporting resilience
Explicitly documents network dependency and suggests tool installation if unavailable, setting clear expectations
Clear scope boundaries: skill is explicitly NOT for Azure AI Search, Document Intelligence, Speech, or Translator services
URLs are well-curated and point to specific Microsoft Learn articles rather than generic landing pages
Metadata staleness check is a pragmatic approach to signal when skill content should be refreshed
Skill name and description clearly differentiate it from competing Azure AI services
Generated from docs2skills/1.0.0, suggesting semi-automated provenance
License file (CC-BY-4.0) is included but does not add semantic value to skill functionality
