What it does

Microsoft Docs is an agent skill from microsoft/ai-agents-for-beginners, published by the product's own GitHub organization. आधिकारिक Microsoft दस्तावेजहरूमा सोधपुछ गरेर Azure, .NET, Agent Framework, Aspire, VS Code, GitHub र अन्य थुप्रै क्षेत्रमा लाग्ने अवधारणाहरू, ट्युटोरियलहरू र कोड उदाहरणहरू फेला पार्नुहोस्। डिफल्ट रूपमा Microsoft Learn MCP प्रयोग गरिन्छ, र learn.microsoft.com बाहिर रहेका सामग्रीका लागि Context7 र Aspire MCP प्रयोग गरिन्छ।

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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. प्रविधि नामसँग mcp_context7_resolve-library-id कल गर्नुहोस्
  2. फर्किएको library ID र एउटा विशिष्ट क्वेरीसँग mcp_context7_query-docs कल गर्नुहोस्

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 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 537 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~84
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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.

आधिकारिक Microsoft दस्तावेजहरूमा सोधपुछ गरेर Azure, .NET, Agent Framework, Aspire, VS Code, GitHub र अन्य थुप्रै क्षेत्रमा लाग्ने अवधारणाहरू, ट्युटोरियलहरू र कोड उदाहरणहरू फेला पार्नुहोस्। डिफल्ट रूपमा Microsoft Learn MCP प्रयोग गरिन्छ, र learn.microsoft.com बाहिर रहेका सामग्रीका लागि Context7 र Aspire MCP प्रयोग गरिन्छ।

Microsoft Docs

Microsoft प्रविधि इकोसिस्टमका लागि अनुसन्धान सिप। learn.microsoft.com र त्यसबाहिर बस्ने दस्तावेजहरू (VS Code, GitHub, Aspire, Agent Framework रिपोजिटरीहरू) समेट्छ।


पूर्वनिर्धारित: Microsoft Learn MCP

यी उपकरणहरू प्रयोग गर्नुहोस् learn.microsoft.com मा भएका सबै चीजहरूको लागि — Azure, .NET, M365, Power Platform, Agent Framework, Semantic Kernel, Windows, र थप। यो Microsoft दस्तावेज क्वेरीहरूको ठूलो भागका लागि प्राथमिक उपकरण हो।

उपकरणउद्देश्य
microsoft_docs_searchSearch learn.microsoft.com — अवधारणाहरू, गाइडहरू, ट्युटोरियलहरू, कन्फिगरेसन
microsoft_code_sample_searchLearn डक्सबाट काम गर्ने कोड स्निपेटहरू फेला पार्नुहोस्। सर्वश्रेष्ठ नतिजाका लागि language (python, csharp, आदि) पास गर्नुहोस्
microsoft_docs_fetchविशेष URL बाट पूर्ण पृष्ठ सामग्री प्राप्त गर्नुहोस् (जब खोज अंशहरू पर्याप्त हुँदैन)

पूरा ट्युटोरियल, सबै कन्फिग विकल्पहरू, वा जब खोज अंशहरू काटिएका हुन्छन् त्यतिबेला खोजपछि microsoft_docs_fetch प्रयोग गर्नुहोस्।


अपवादहरू: अन्य उपकरणहरू कहिले प्रयोग गर्ने

तलका वर्गहरू learn.microsoft.com भन्दा बाहिर बस्छन्। साटोमा निर्दिष्ट उपकरण प्रयोग गर्नुहोस्।

.NET Aspire — Aspire MCP Server (सिफारिश गरिएको) वा Context7 प्रयोग गर्नुहोस्

Aspire दस्तावेजहरू aspire.dev मा बस्छन्, Learn मा होइन। उत्कृष्ट उपकरण तपाईंको Aspire CLI संस्करणमा निर्भर गर्दछ:

CLI 13.2+ (सिफारिश) — Aspire MCP सर्वरमा बिल्ट-इन डक्स खोज उपकरणहरू समावेश छन्:

MCP Toolविवरण
list_docsaspire.dev बाट उपलब्ध सबै दस्तावेज सूचीबद्ध गर्दछ
search_docsaspire.dev सामग्रीमा भारित लेक्सिकल खोज
get_docएक विशिष्ट कागजात slug द्वारा प्राप्त गर्दछ

यी Aspire CLI 13.2 मा समावेश छन् (PR #14028). अपडेट गर्न: aspire update --self --channel daily. सन्दर्भ: https://davidpine.dev/posts/aspire-docs-mcp-tools/

CLI 13.1 — MCP सर्वरले integration lookup (list_integrations, get_integration_docs) प्रदान गर्छ तर not docs search। Context7 मा फर्किनुहोस्:

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 — Context7 प्रयोग गर्नुहोस्

VS Code दस्तावेजहरू code.visualstudio.com मा बस्छन्, Learn मा होइन।

Library IDUse for
/websites/code_visualstudioUser docs — settings, features, debugging, remote dev
/websites/code_visualstudio_apiExtension API — webviews, TreeViews, commands, contribution points
GitHub — Context7 प्रयोग गर्नुहोस्

GitHub दस्तावेजहरू docs.github.com र cli.github.com मा बस्छन्।

Library IDUse for
/websites/github_enActions, API, रिपोजिटरीहरू, सुरक्षा, प्रशासन, Copilot
/websites/cli_githubGitHub CLI (gh) commands and flags
Show full SKILL.md (227 more words)Show less
Agent Framework — Learn MCP + Context7 प्रयोग गर्नुहोस्

Agent Framework ट्युटोरियलहरू learn.microsoft.com मा छन् ( microsoft_docs_search प्रयोग गर्नुहोस्), तर GitHub रिपो मा API-स्तरीय विवरण हुन्छ जुन प्राय: प्रकाशित डकुमेन्टहरू भन्दा अगाडि हुन्छ — विशेष गरी DevUI REST API सन्दर्भ, CLI विकल्पहरू, र .NET एकीकरण।

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 सुझाव: कसरी-गर्न गाइडहरूको लागि Learn वेबसाइट स्रोत सोध्नुहोस्, त्यसपछि API-स्तरीय विशिष्टताहरू (endpoint schemas, proxy config, auth tokens) का लागि रिपो स्रोत हेर्नुहोस्।


Context7 सेटअप

कुनै पनि Context7 क्वेरीको लागि, पहिले library ID समाधान गर्नुहोस् (प्रति सत्र एक पटक):

  1. प्रविधि नामसँग mcp_context7_resolve-library-id कल गर्नुहोस्
  2. फर्किएको library ID र एउटा विशिष्ट क्वेरीसँग mcp_context7_query-docs कल गर्नुहोस्

प्रभावकारी क्वेरी लेख्ने तरिका

विशिष्ट हुनुहोस् — संस्करण, उद्देश्य, र भाषा समावेश गर्नुहोस्:

# ❌ 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:

  • संस्करण when relevant (.NET 8, Aspire 13, VS Code 1.96)
  • कार्य उद्देश्य (quickstart, tutorial, overview, limits, API reference)
  • भाषा for polyglot docs (Python, TypeScript, C#)
