Azure Partner Solutions Skill
This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Partner Solutions. Covers troubleshooting, decision making, architecture & design patterns, security, configuration, and integrations & coding patterns. 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.

Summary
This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Partner Solutions development, covering troubleshooting, decision-making, architecture & design patterns, security, configuration, and integrations. It functions as a reference index to Microsoft Learn documentation, enabling agents to fetch remote content via network calls to learn.microsoft.com using mcp_microsoftdocs tools or generic fetch_webpage.

Trigger Keywords
Phrases that agents use to match this skill to user intent.
Strength: Clear agent instructions on when to use file reads vs. remote fetching
Strength: Comprehensive coverage of 6 functional categories across 12+ partner solutions
Weakness: Heavy dependence on external documentation (no local fallback content)
Weakness: No specific troubleshooting patterns or decision trees included locally—only URL references
Weakness: Metadata staleness check relies on external tooling (mcp_microsoftdocs); no graceful degradation if tools unavailable
Weakness: No edge case handling (e.g., network timeouts, missing documentation pages, malformed responses)
Weakness: Category index line ranges (L34-L81) are referenced but content does not exist in file—appears to be from auto-generated template
