About azure-resiliency
azure-resiliency is a skill for agents working with Azure resiliency, combining local reference material with remote documentation retrieval. It supports workload assessment, protection configuration, and failure-drill planning.
Key features
- 01Assess and apply resiliency recommendations
- 02Guidance on security roles and levels
- 03Configure drills, backup, and replication
- 04Configure recovery orchestration plans
- 05Plan availability-zone failure drills
Use cases
- 01Review resiliency across Azure workloads
- 02Configure backup and replication policies
- 03Plan and run availability-zone drills
MCP support
The skill recommends retrieving remote documentation with mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch, with fetch_webpage as a fallback.
Install

Details
From the project READMEAzure Resiliency Skill
This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Resiliency. Covers best practices, security, configuration, 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), useread_filewith the specified lines. For categories with file links (e.g.,[security.md](security.md)), useread_fileon the linked reference file
IMPORTANT for Agent: If
metadata.generated_atis more than 3 months old, suggest the user pull the latest version from the repository. Ifmcp_microsoftdocstools 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_fetchwith query stringfrom=learn-agent-skill. Returns Markdown. - Fallback: Use
fetch_webpagewith query stringfrom=learn-agent-skill&accept=text/markdown. Returns Markdown.
