What it does
Microsoft Docs is an agent skill from microsoft/ai-agents-for-beginners, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Fanya uchunguzi kwenye nyaraka rasmi za Microsoft ili upate dhana, mafunzo, na mifano ya msimbo katika Azure, .NET, Agent Framework, Aspire, VS Code, GitHub, na zaidi. Inatumia Microsoft Learn MCP kama chaguo-msingi, na Context7 na Aspire MCP kwa maudhui yanayopatikana nje ya learn.microsoft.com.
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.
- Call mcp_context7_resolve-library-id with the technology name
- Call mcp_context7_query-docs with the returned library ID and a specific query
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.comdavidpine.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 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 586 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- Fanya uchunguzi kwenye nyaraka rasmi za Microsoft ili upate dhana, mafunzo, na mifano ya msimbo katika Azure, .NET, Agent Framework, Aspire, VS Code, GitHub, na zaidi. Inatumia Microsoft Learn MCP kama chaguo-msingi, na Context7 na Aspire MCP kwa maudhui yanayopatikana nje ya learn.microsoft.com.
Microsoft Docs
Ujuzi wa utafiti kwa ekosistimu ya teknolojia ya Microsoft. Inashughulikia learn.microsoft.com na nyaraka zinazoshikilia nje yake (VS Code, GitHub, Aspire, hazina za Agent Framework).
Default: Microsoft Learn MCP
Tumia zana hizi kwa kila kitu kwenye learn.microsoft.com — Azure, .NET, M365, Power Platform, Agent Framework, Semantic Kernel, Windows, na zaidi. Hii ni zana kuu kwa sehemu kubwa ya maswali ya nyaraka za Microsoft.
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
microsoft_docs_search | Tafuta learn.microsoft.com — dhana, mwongozo, mafunzo, usanidi |
microsoft_code_sample_search | Tafuta vipande vya msimbo vinavyofanya kazi kutoka kwenye nyaraka za Learn. Tumia language (python, csharp, n.k.) kwa matokeo bora |
microsoft_docs_fetch | Pata yaliyomo ya ukurasa kamili kutoka kwenye URL maalum (wanapo toleo la utafutaji halitoshi) |
Tumia microsoft_docs_fetch baada ya utafutaji wakati unahitaji mafunzo kamili, chaguzi zote za usanidi, au wakati vifupisho vya utafutaji vimekatwa.
Exceptions: When to Use Other Tools
Makundi yafuatayo yapo nje ya learn.microsoft.com. Tumia zana maalum badala yake.
.NET Aspire — Use Aspire MCP Server (preferred) or Context7
Nyaraka za Aspire zinapatikana kwenye aspire.dev, si Learn. Zana bora inategemea toleo lako la Aspire CLI:
CLI 13.2+ (inayopendekezwa) — Aspire MCP server ina zana za utafutaji wa nyaraka zilizojengwa ndani:
| MCP Tool | Description |
|---|---|
list_docs | Orodhesha nyaraka zote zinazopatikana kutoka aspire.dev |
search_docs | Utafutaji wa kifasiri wenye uzito kwenye yaliyomo ya aspire.dev |
get_doc | Inarekebisha hati maalum kwa slug |
Hizi zinaambatana katika Aspire CLI 13.2 (PR #14028). Ili kusasisha: aspire update --self --channel daily. Ref: https://davidpine.dev/posts/aspire-docs-mcp-tools/
CLI 13.1 — MCP server hutoa utafutaji wa integrasiyo (list_integrations, get_integration_docs) lakini si utafutaji wa nyaraka. Rudia Context7:
| Library ID | Use for |
|---|---|
/microsoft/aspire.dev | Msingi — mwongozo, integrasiyo, rejea ya CLI, upeleka |
/dotnet/aspire | Chanzo cha runtime — ndani za API, maelezo ya utekelezaji |
/communitytoolkit/aspire | Integrasiyo za jamii — Go, Java, Node.js, Ollama |
VS Code — Use Context7
Nyaraka za VS Code zinapatikana kwenye code.visualstudio.com, si Learn.
| Library ID | Use for |
|---|---|
/websites/code_visualstudio | Nyaraka za mtumiaji — mipangilio, vipengele, debugging, maendeleo ya mbali |
/websites/code_visualstudio_api | API ya upanuzi — webviews, TreeViews, amri, pointi za mchango |
GitHub — Use Context7
Nyaraka za GitHub zinapatikana kwenye docs.github.com na cli.github.com.
| Library ID | Use for |
|---|---|
/websites/github_en | Actions, API, repos, usalama, usimamizi, Copilot |
/websites/cli_github | Amri na bendera za GitHub CLI (gh) |
Show full SKILL.md (255 more words)Show less
Agent Framework — Use Learn MCP + Context7
Mafunzo ya Agent Framework yako kwenye learn.microsoft.com (tumia microsoft_docs_search), lakini repo ya GitHub ina maelezo ya kiwango cha API ambayo mara nyingi iko mbele ya nyaraka zilizochapishwa — hasa rejea ya DevUI REST API, chaguzi za CLI, na ujumuishaji wa .NET.
| Library ID | Use for |
|---|---|
/websites/learn_microsoft_en-us_agent-framework | Mafunzo — mwongozo wa DevUI, ufuatiliaji, uendeshaji wa workflow |
/microsoft/agent-framework | Maelezo ya API — endpoints za DevUI REST, bendera za CLI, auth, .NET AddDevUI/MapDevUI |
DevUI tip: Ulizi chanzo cha tovuti ya Learn kwa mwongozo wa jinsi ya kufanya, kisha chanzo cha repo kwa maelezo ya kiwango cha API (miundo ya endpoint, usanidi wa proxy, tokeni za uthibitisho).
Context7 Setup
Kwa swali lolote la Context7, tatua library ID kwanza (mara moja kwa kila kikao):
- Call
mcp_context7_resolve-library-idwith the technology name - Call
mcp_context7_query-docswith the returned library ID and a specific query
Writing Effective Queries
Kuwa maalum — jumuisha toleo, nia, na lugha:
# ❌ 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:
- Toleo when relevant (
.NET 8,Aspire 13,VS Code 1.96) - Nia ya kazi (
quickstart,tutorial,overview,limits,API reference) - Lugha for polyglot docs (
Python,TypeScript,C#)
