Key features

01Feed access and package troubleshooting
02Feed scope and migration guidance
03Storage, retention, and quota guidance
04Feed security and upstream sources
05Package publishing and restore workflows

Use cases

01Connecting build tools to package feeds
02Publishing and restoring packages in CI/CD
03Configuring upstream sources and feed permissions

MCP support

The skill can retrieve Microsoft documentation using mcp_microsoftdocs microsoft_docs_fetch, with webpage fetching as a fallback.

Install

Copy the command and run it in a terminal.

Azure Artifacts Skill

This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Artifacts. Covers troubleshooting, best practices, decision making, limits & quotas, security, configuration, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. It combines local quick-reference content with remote documentation fetching capabilities.

How to Use This Skill

IMPORTANT for Agent: Use the Category Index below to locate relevant sections. For categories with line ranges (e.g., L35-L120), use read_file with the specified lines. For categories with file links (e.g., [security.md](security.md)), use read_file on the linked reference file

IMPORTANT for Agent: If metadata.generated_at is more than 3 months old, suggest the user pull the latest version from the repository. If mcp_microsoftdocs tools are not available, suggest the user install it: Installation Guide

This skill requires network access to fetch documentation content:

Preferred: Use mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch with query string from=learn-agent-skill. Returns Markdown.
Fallback: Use fetch_webpage with query string from=learn-agent-skill&accept=text/markdown. Returns Markdown.

Develop and host Miaoda (Spark/Miaoda) apps: app creation, local full-stack development, cloud generation and iteration, creative design (UI mockups / interactive prototypes / wireframes / landing pages / dashboards / slide decks / visual exploration), integration of AI-related capabilities, Feishu platform capabilities, or other external capabilities; log/Trace/monitoring metric/PV/UV queries; environment variable management; app collaborators and collaboration permissions; app roles and members; and automation triggers (scheduled / record changes / Webhook / Feishu approvals). Use when users want to develop or create a system, tool, platform, or app; develop locally or in the cloud, modify, deploy, publish, launch, or get a shareable link; create a page or website with HTML and deploy it to Miaoda; design, create a mockup, prototype, wireframe, PPT, deck, or visual exploration; or mention Miaoda/Spark/Miaoda apps (links like `/app/app_xxx` or `/page/<token>`, runtime domains like *.aiforce.cloud), app databases, app file storage, open API Keys, visibility, app collaborators/developer permissions, app roles/role members, production logs, API request volume, error volume, latency, traffic, environment variables, or setting up automation tasks, scheduled triggers, or approval-triggered automation for Miaoda apps.

Prepare azd-based Azure projects for deployment: generates azure.yaml, infrastructure (Bicep/Terraform), and Dockerfiles for the Azure Developer CLI (azd) workflow. USE ONLY when the user explicitly wants to use azd as the deployment tool, or the project already has an azure.yaml file. DO NOT USE FOR: non-azd deployments, Python App Service code-only deploys (use python-appservice-deploy), or cross-cloud migration (use azure-cloud-migrate). WHEN: prepare app for azd, create azure.yaml, set up azd infrastructure, modernize app for Azure with azd, deploy with azd, function app, timer trigger, service bus trigger, event-driven function, managed identity, generate Bicep, generate Terraform, create and deploy to Azure.

Use when provisioning infrastructure, setting up credentials or CI secrets, walking an unfamiliar third-party dashboard, or running a one-off migration or cutover. Don't invoke this for steps the agent can perform itself.
