What it does
Microsoft Docs is an agent skill from microsoft/ai-agents-for-beginners, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Abfrage der offiziellen Microsoft-Dokumentation, um Konzepte, Tutorials und Codebeispiele zu Azure, .NET, Agent Framework, Aspire, VS Code, GitHub und mehr zu finden. Verwendet Microsoft Learn MCP als Standard, mit Context7 und Aspire MCP für Inhalte, die außerhalb von learn.microsoft.com liegen.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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

Requirements
- Python 3
- Node.js
Workflow steps

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ff2ba66. 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 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 498 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.

- Abfrage der offiziellen Microsoft-Dokumentation, um Konzepte, Tutorials und Codebeispiele zu Azure, .NET, Agent Framework, Aspire, VS Code, GitHub und mehr zu finden. Verwendet Microsoft Learn MCP als Standard, mit Context7 und Aspire MCP für Inhalte, die außerhalb von learn.microsoft.com liegen.
Microsoft Docs
Recherche-Fähigkeit für das Microsoft-Technologie-Ökosystem. Behandelt learn.microsoft.com und Dokumentation, die außerhalb davon liegt (VS Code, GitHub, Aspire, Agent Framework Repositories).
Standard: Microsoft Learn MCP
Verwende diese Tools für alles auf learn.microsoft.com — Azure, .NET, M365, Power Platform, Agent Framework, Semantic Kernel, Windows und mehr. Dies ist das primäre Werkzeug für die überwältigende Mehrheit der Anfragen zur Microsoft-Dokumentation.
| Tool | Zweck |
|---|---|
microsoft_docs_search | Durchsuche learn.microsoft.com — Konzepte, Leitfäden, Tutorials, Konfiguration |
microsoft_code_sample_search | Finde funktionierende Codeausschnitte aus Learn-Dokumenten. Übergebe language (python, csharp, etc.) für beste Ergebnisse |
microsoft_docs_fetch | Hole den vollständigen Seiteninhalt von einer bestimmten URL (wenn Suchauszüge nicht ausreichen) |
Verwende microsoft_docs_fetch nach der Suche, wenn du komplette Tutorials, alle Konfigurationsoptionen benötigst oder wenn Suchauszüge abgeschnitten sind.
Ausnahmen: Wann andere Tools verwenden
Die folgenden Kategorien befinden sich außerhalb von learn.microsoft.com. Verwende stattdessen das angegebene Tool.
.NET Aspire — Verwende Aspire MCP Server (bevorzugt) oder Context7
Die Aspire-Dokumentation befindet sich auf aspire.dev, nicht auf Learn. Das beste Tool hängt von deiner Aspire-CLI-Version ab:
CLI 13.2+ (empfohlen) — Der Aspire MCP-Server enthält integrierte Tools zur Dokumentensuche:
| MCP-Tool | Beschreibung |
|---|---|
list_docs | Listet alle verfügbaren Dokumente von aspire.dev auf |
search_docs | Gewichtete lexikalische Suche über Inhalte von aspire.dev |
get_doc | Ruft ein bestimmtes Dokument anhand des Slugs ab |
Diese sind in Aspire CLI 13.2 enthalten (PR #14028). Zum Aktualisieren: aspire update --self --channel daily. Siehe: https://davidpine.dev/posts/aspire-docs-mcp-tools/
CLI 13.1 — Der MCP-Server bietet Integrationssuche (list_integrations, get_integration_docs), aber keine Dokumentensuche. Fallback zu Context7:
| Library ID | Verwendung |
|---|---|
/microsoft/aspire.dev | Primär — Leitfäden, Integrationen, CLI-Referenz, Bereitstellung |
/dotnet/aspire | Laufzeit-Quellcode — API-Interna, Implementierungsdetails |
/communitytoolkit/aspire | Community-Integrationen — Go, Java, Node.js, Ollama |
VS Code — Verwende Context7
VS Code-Dokumentation befindet sich auf code.visualstudio.com, nicht auf Learn.
| Library ID | Verwendung |
|---|---|
/websites/code_visualstudio | Benutzerdokumentation — Einstellungen, Funktionen, Debugging, Remote-Entwicklung |
/websites/code_visualstudio_api | Erweiterungs-API — Webviews, TreeViews, Befehle, Contribution Points |
GitHub — Verwende Context7
GitHub-Dokumentation befindet sich auf docs.github.com und cli.github.com.
| Library ID | Verwendung |
|---|---|
/websites/github_en | Actions, API, Repositories, Sicherheit, Administration, Copilot |
/websites/cli_github | GitHub CLI (gh) Befehle und Flags |
Show full SKILL.md (207 more words)Show less
Agent Framework — Verwende Learn MCP + Context7
Agent Framework-Tutorials befinden sich auf learn.microsoft.com (verwende microsoft_docs_search), aber das GitHub-Repository enthält API-Detailinformationen, die oft vor den veröffentlichten Dokumenten liegen — insbesondere die DevUI REST-API-Referenz, CLI-Optionen und .NET-Integration.
| Library ID | Verwendung |
|---|---|
/websites/learn_microsoft_en-us_agent-framework | Tutorials — DevUI-Anleitungen, Tracing, Workflow-Orchestrierung |
/microsoft/agent-framework | API-Details — DevUI-REST-Endpunkte, CLI-Flags, Auth, .NET AddDevUI/MapDevUI |
DevUI-Tipp: Frage die Learn-Website-Quelle nach How-to-Anleitungen ab, und dann die Repo-Quelle für API-spezifische Details (Endpoint-Schemata, Proxy-Konfiguration, Auth-Tokens).
Context7 Einrichtung
Bei jeder Context7-Anfrage löse zuerst die Library-ID auf (einmal pro Sitzung):
- Rufe
mcp_context7_resolve-library-idmit dem Technologienamen auf - Rufe
mcp_context7_query-docsmit der zurückgegebenen Library-ID und einer spezifischen Abfrage auf

Or copy the skill folder (translations/de/.agents/skills/microsoft-docs in microsoft/ai-agents-for-beginners) into .agents/skills/microsoft-docs in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Microsoft Docs in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add microsoft/ai-agents-for-beginners --skill microsoft-docs -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/microsoft-docs, .gemini/skills/microsoft-docs, .github/skills/microsoft-docs and .opencode/skills/microsoft-docs in your project.
What does Microsoft Docs need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Microsoft Docs is instructions for the agent only. Our summary lists: Python 3; Node.js.
Does Microsoft Docs access the network?
SKILL.md names 2 domains. As links in the text: github.com and davidpine.dev. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
