What it does

Microsoft Docs is an agent skill from microsoft/ai-agents-for-beginners, published by the product's own GitHub organization. שאילתה בתיעוד הרשמי של Microsoft למציאת מושגים, מדריכים ודוגמאות קוד ב-Azure, .NET, Agent Framework, Aspire, VS Code, GitHub ועוד. משתמש ב-Microsoft Learn MCP כברירת מחדל, עם Context7 ו-Aspire MCP עבור תוכן שנמצא מחוץ ל-learn.microsoft.com.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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 .NET. 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. הרץ את mcp_context7_resolve-library-id עם שם הטכנולוגיה
  2. הרץ את mcp_context7_query-docs עם מזהה הספרייה שהוחזר ושאילתה ספציפית

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 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 520 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~64
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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.

שאילתה בתיעוד הרשמי של Microsoft למציאת מושגים, מדריכים ודוגמאות קוד ב-Azure, .NET, Agent Framework, Aspire, VS Code, GitHub ועוד. משתמש ב-Microsoft Learn MCP כברירת מחדל, עם Context7 ו-Aspire MCP עבור תוכן שנמצא מחוץ ל-learn.microsoft.com.

Microsoft Docs

מיומנות מחקר לאקו-סיסטמה הטכנולוגית של Microsoft. כולל את learn.microsoft.com ואת התיעוד הקיים מחוצה לו (VS Code, GitHub, Aspire, מאגרי Agent Framework).


Default: Microsoft Learn MCP

Use these tools for everything on learn.microsoft.com — Azure, .NET, M365, Power Platform, Agent Framework, Semantic Kernel, Windows, and more. This is the primary tool for the vast majority of Microsoft documentation queries.

ToolPurpose
microsoft_docs_searchחפש ב-learn.microsoft.com — מושגים, מדריכים, הדרכות, הגדרות
microsoft_code_sample_searchמצא קטעי קוד פועלים מתוך מסמכי Learn. העבר language (python, csharp, וכו') לתוצאות הטובות ביותר
microsoft_docs_fetchהשג תוכן עמוד מלא מ-URL ספציפי (כשקטעי החיפוש לא מספיקים)

Use microsoft_docs_fetch after search when you need complete tutorials, all config options, or when search excerpts are truncated.


Exceptions: When to Use Other Tools

The following categories live outside learn.microsoft.com. Use the specified tool instead.

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

Aspire docs live on aspire.dev, not Learn. The best tool depends on your Aspire CLI version:

CLI 13.2+ (recommended) — The Aspire MCP server includes built-in docs search tools:

MCP ToolDescription
list_docsמציג את כל התיעוד הזמין מ-aspire.dev
search_docsחיפוש לקסיקלי משוקלל בתכני aspire.dev
get_docמשיג מסמך ספציפי על-ידי slug

These ship in Aspire CLI 13.2 (PR #14028). To update: aspire update --self --channel daily. Ref: https://davidpine.dev/posts/aspire-docs-mcp-tools/

CLI 13.1 — The MCP server provides integration lookup (list_integrations, get_integration_docs) but not docs search. Fall back to Context7:

Library IDUse for
/microsoft/aspire.devPrimary — guides, integrations, CLI reference, deployment
/dotnet/aspireRuntime source — API internals, implementation details
/communitytoolkit/aspireCommunity integrations — Go, Java, Node.js, Ollama
VS Code — Use Context7

VS Code docs live on code.visualstudio.com, not Learn.

Library IDUse for
/websites/code_visualstudioתיעוד למשתמש — הגדרות, תכונות, ניפוי שגיאות, פיתוח מרחוק
/websites/code_visualstudio_apiExtension API — webviews, TreeViews, commands, contribution points
GitHub — Use Context7

GitHub docs live on docs.github.com and cli.github.com.

Library IDUse for
/websites/github_enActions, API, מאגרים, אבטחה, ניהול, Copilot
/websites/cli_githubGitHub CLI (gh) commands and flags
Show full SKILL.md (218 more words)Show less
Agent Framework — Use Learn MCP + Context7

Agent Framework tutorials are on learn.microsoft.com (use microsoft_docs_search), but the GitHub repo has API-level detail that is often ahead of published docs — particularly DevUI REST API reference, CLI options, and .NET integration.

Library IDUse for
/websites/learn_microsoft_en-us_agent-frameworkTutorials — DevUI guides, tracing, workflow orchestration
/microsoft/agent-frameworkAPI detail — DevUI REST endpoints, CLI flags, auth, .NET AddDevUI/MapDevUI

DevUI tip: שאול את מקור אתר Learn עבור מדריכים מעשיים, ואז את מקור המאגר עבור פרטים ברמת ה-API (סכמות נקודות קצה, תצורת פרוקסי, אסימוני אימות).


Context7 Setup

For any Context7 query, resolve the library ID first (one-time per session):

  1. הרץ את mcp_context7_resolve-library-id עם שם הטכנולוגיה
  2. הרץ את mcp_context7_query-docs עם מזהה הספרייה שהוחזר ושאילתה ספציפית

Writing Effective Queries

Be specific — include version, intent, and language:

# ❌ 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:

  • גרסה when relevant (.NET 8, Aspire 13, VS Code 1.96)
  • כוונת המשימה (quickstart, tutorial, overview, limits, API reference)
  • שפה for polyglot docs (Python, TypeScript, C#)
