About azure-copilot

A guidance skill for agents using Azure Copilot to troubleshoot, plan, and configure Azure resources. Its references cover cost decisions, network design, security, and generating infrastructure and automation artifacts.

Key features

  1. 01Troubleshooting App Service, Functions, and VM disks
  2. 02Cost, VM, Marketplace, and Load Balancer decisions
  3. 03Azure network design guidance
  4. 04Storage, access, and responsible AI references
  5. 05Generating policies, scripts, YAML, and templates

Use cases

  1. 01Investigating Azure service or disk issues
  2. 02Comparing deployment and cost options
  3. 03Reviewing network architecture
  4. 04Drafting infrastructure or automation files

MCP support

The skill recommends fetching current documentation with `mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch`; it also describes `fetch_webpage` as a fallback.

Install

Azure Copilot Skill

This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Copilot. Covers troubleshooting, decision making, architecture & design patterns, security, configuration, and integrations & coding patterns. 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.
