This repository provides a comprehensive collection of domain-specific skills, custom agents, and configurations designed to enhance AI coding agents like GitHub Copilot with deep knowledge of Azure SDKs and Microsoft AI Foundry. It enables AI agents to generate context-aware code, manage cloud resources, and automate development workflows more effectively across various programming languages.

skills is currently grouped under Code Assistant, which makes it easier to evaluate through workflow fit instead of isolated features alone. Based on the available data, it leans most heavily toward Extensive Skill Catalog with over 175 domain-specific skills for Azure SDK and Foundry development and Enhancing GitHub Copilot and other AI coding agents with specialized domain knowledge for Azure services and SDKs. The listed license is MIT, which is useful when adoption constraints matter. It also shows measurable community traction with 3.0k GitHub stars.
