What it does

Microsoft Docs is an agent skill from microsoft/ai-agents-for-beginners, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Interroger la documentation officielle de Microsoft pour trouver des concepts, des tutoriels et des exemples de code couvrant Azure, .NET, Agent Framework, Aspire, VS Code, GitHub, et plus encore. Utilise Microsoft Learn MCP par défaut, avec Context7 et Aspire MCP pour le contenu qui se trouve en dehors de learn.microsoft.com.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Building AI agents and MCP servers. It works with Visual Studio Code, Model Context Protocol, Microsoft Azure and GitHub. The repository describes itself as: 18 Lessons to Get Started Building AI Agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Building AI agents
  • Tasks that involve MCP servers

Example prompts

  • “/microsoft-docs”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Appelez mcp_context7_resolve-library-id avec le nom de la technologie
  2. Appelez mcp_context7_query-docs avec l'ID de bibliothèque retourné et une requête spécifique

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 25b7985. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.com
    • davidpine.dev

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Microsoft Docs loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 632 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~86
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Microsoft Docs

Compétence de recherche pour l'écosystème technologique Microsoft. Couvre learn.microsoft.com et la documentation qui vit en dehors de celui-ci (VS Code, GitHub, Aspire, dépôts Agent Framework).


Default: Microsoft Learn MCP

Utilisez ces outils pour tout ce qui se trouve sur learn.microsoft.com — Azure, .NET, M365, Power Platform, Agent Framework, Semantic Kernel, Windows, et plus encore. C'est l'outil principal pour la grande majorité des requêtes concernant la documentation Microsoft.

ToolPurpose
microsoft_docs_searchRechercher sur learn.microsoft.com — concepts, guides, tutoriels, configuration
microsoft_code_sample_searchTrouver des extraits de code fonctionnels provenant des docs Learn. Fournir language (python, csharp, etc.) pour de meilleurs résultats
microsoft_docs_fetchObtenir le contenu complet d'une page à partir d'une URL spécifique (lorsque les extraits de recherche ne suffisent pas)

Utilisez microsoft_docs_fetch après la recherche lorsque vous avez besoin de tutoriels complets, de toutes les options de configuration, ou lorsque les extraits de recherche sont tronqués.


Exceptions: Quand utiliser d'autres outils

Les catégories suivantes se trouvent en dehors de learn.microsoft.com. Utilisez plutôt l'outil spécifié.

.NET Aspire — Use Aspire MCP Server (preferred) or Context7

La documentation d'Aspire se trouve sur aspire.dev, pas sur Learn. Le meilleur outil dépend de votre version de l'Aspire CLI :

CLI 13.2+ (recommandé) — Le serveur Aspire MCP inclut des outils de recherche de documentation intégrés :

MCP ToolDescription
list_docsListe toute la documentation disponible sur aspire.dev
search_docsRecherche lexicale pondérée dans le contenu d'aspire.dev
get_docRécupère un document spécifique par slug

Ils sont fournis dans Aspire CLI 13.2 (PR #14028). Pour mettre à jour: aspire update --self --channel daily. Réf: https://davidpine.dev/posts/aspire-docs-mcp-tools/

CLI 13.1 — Le serveur MCP fournit la recherche d'intégrations (list_integrations, get_integration_docs) mais pas la recherche de docs. Revenir à Context7:

Library IDUse for
/microsoft/aspire.devPrincipal — guides, intégrations, référence CLI, déploiement
/dotnet/aspireSource runtime — éléments internes de l'API, détails d'implémentation
/communitytoolkit/aspireIntégrations communautaires — Go, Java, Node.js, Ollama
VS Code — Use Context7

La documentation de VS Code se trouve sur code.visualstudio.com, pas sur Learn.

Library IDUse for
/websites/code_visualstudioDocs utilisateur — paramètres, fonctionnalités, débogage, développement distant
/websites/code_visualstudio_apiAPI d'extension — webviews, TreeViews, commandes, points de contribution
GitHub — Use Context7

La documentation GitHub se trouve sur docs.github.com et cli.github.com.

Library IDUse for
/websites/github_enActions, API, dépôts, sécurité, administration, Copilot
/websites/cli_githubCommandes et options du GitHub CLI (gh)
Show full SKILL.md (273 more words)Show less
Agent Framework — Use Learn MCP + Context7

Les tutoriels Agent Framework sont sur learn.microsoft.com (utilisez microsoft_docs_search), mais le dépôt GitHub contient des détails au niveau de l'API souvent en avance sur les docs publiés — en particulier la référence DevUI REST API, les options CLI, et l'intégration .NET.

Library IDUse for
/websites/learn_microsoft_en-us_agent-frameworkTutoriels — guides DevUI, traçage, orchestration de flux de travail
/microsoft/agent-frameworkDétails API — endpoints REST DevUI, options CLI, authentification, .NET AddDevUI/MapDevUI

DevUI tip: Interrogez la source du site Learn pour les guides pratiques, puis la source du dépôt pour les spécificités au niveau de l'API (schémas d'endpoint, configuration du proxy, jetons d'authentification).


Context7 Setup

Pour toute requête Context7, résolvez d'abord l'ID de la bibliothèque (une fois par session) :

  1. Appelez mcp_context7_resolve-library-id avec le nom de la technologie
  2. Appelez mcp_context7_query-docs avec l'ID de bibliothèque retourné et une requête spécifique

Writing Effective Queries

Soyez précis — incluez la version, l'intention et le langage :

# ❌ Too broad
"Azure Functions"
"agent framework"

# ✅ Specific
"Azure Functions Python v2 programming model"
"Cosmos DB partition key design best practices"
"GitHub Actions workflow_dispatch inputs matrix strategy"
"Aspire AddUvicornApp Python FastAPI integration"
"DevUI serve agents tracing OpenTelemetry directory discovery"
"Agent Framework workflow conditional edges branching handoff"

Include context:

  • Version lorsque pertinent (.NET 8, Aspire 13, VS Code 1.96)
  • Objectif de la tâche (quickstart, tutorial, overview, limits, API reference)
  • Langage pour la documentation polyglotte (Python, TypeScript, C#)
