Use when adding, configuring, validating, or troubleshooting OpenTelemetry observability for a Microsoft 365 Agents SDK application in C# / .NET. Trigger when the user mentions OpenTelemetry, OTel, telemetry, traces, metrics, logs, OTLP, Aspire Dashboard, Application Insights, Azure Monitor, distributed tracing, custom ActivitySource or Meter instrumentation, or observing Microsoft.Agents.Core signals.
Use when troubleshooting an agent built with the Microsoft Agents SDK (Microsoft.Agents.Hosting.AspNetCore and related packages) in C# / .NET. Trigger on any of these symptoms: build or C# compile errors, crashes on startup, 401 or auth errors on incoming requests, the bot not responding to messages, appsettings.json configuration problems, Azure AD credential failures (AADSTS errors), port conflicts, or the agent not connecting in Teams or the Agents Playground. Use even if the user doesn't mention the SDK by name — trigger on symptoms like "my bot won't start", "getting 401s", or "bot isn't
Use when migrating a Microsoft 365 Agents SDK agent that uses ActivityHandler or TeamsActivityHandler to AgentApplication. This is ONLY for DotNet projects that uses `Microsoft.Agents.*` packages. Triggered by Agents SDK bots that subclass ActivityHandler or TeamsActivityHandler that need to be modernized to AgentApplication routing.
Assess and migrate JavaScript or TypeScript bots from BotBuilder/Bot Framework SDK to Microsoft 365 Agents SDK with AgentApplication. Use to produce a migration report and plan before editing code, map BotBuilder packages and APIs, identify unsupported features, and implement only the supported plan items selected by the user.
Use when any code imports @microsoft/agents-hosting, @microsoft/agents-hosting-express, or related Agents SDK packages, or when the user is building, configuring, or asking questions about a Microsoft 365 Agents SDK agent in TypeScript. Trigger on questions about environment variables, connection configuration, AgentApplication patterns, OAuth sign-in flows, storage backends, cards, streaming, or local testing with the Agents Playground — even if no code exists yet and the user is planning or asking how to get started.
Use when adding, configuring, validating, or troubleshooting OpenTelemetry observability for a Microsoft 365 Agents SDK application in JavaScript or TypeScript. Trigger when the user mentions OpenTelemetry, OTel, telemetry, traces, metrics, logs, OTLP, Aspire Dashboard, Application Insights, Azure Monitor, distributed tracing, custom tracers or meters, or observing @microsoft/agents-telemetry signals.
Use when troubleshooting an agent built with the Microsoft Agents SDK (@microsoft/agents-hosting and related packages). Trigger on any of these symptoms: build or TypeScript errors, crashes on startup, 401 or auth errors on incoming requests, the bot not responding to messages, .env configuration problems, Azure AD credential failures (AADSTS errors), port conflicts, or the agent not connecting in Teams or the Agents Playground. Use even if the user doesn't mention the SDK by name — trigger on symptoms like "my bot won't start", "getting 401s", or "bot isn't responding."
Transforms a non-M365 agent into a Microsoft Agent 365 AI Teammate. Supports all major frameworks across .NET (AgentFramework, Semantic Kernel), Node.js (LangChain, OpenAI Agents SDK, Claude SDK, Semantic Kernel, Google ADK), and Python (AgentFramework, LangChain, OpenAI, Claude, Semantic Kernel, Google ADK). Adds the hosting layer (Express/CloudAdapter for Node.js, ASP.NET Core for .NET, aiohttp for Python), AgentApplication class with message routing and typing indicators, email notifications, and all required packages and env vars. Wraps existing LLM code — does not replace it. Requires a36
Provisions a non-AI Teammate agent with Agent 365 — use this skill for Register and Observability paths. Runs a365 setup all to create the Blueprint and Entra ID permissions. After setup, always offers instrument-observability (optional) and add-workiq-tools (optional, skipped automatically when authMode = s2s) as add-ons. Supports .NET AgentFramework, Node.js, and Python agents. Normally delegated to from a365-setup after CLI and Azure prerequisites are confirmed. Can also be invoked directly when those steps are already done.
Adds WorkIQ MCP tool servers to an existing .NET AgentFramework, Node.js, or Python agent using the A365 CLI. Runs a365 develop list-available to show the catalog, adds selected servers via a365 develop add-mcp-servers (which writes ToolingManifest.json), wires McpToolRegistrationService in the agent code, and guides the user through the permissions handoff. Non-destructive and idempotent.
Generate structured code review for staged files AND all branch commits since main, using Claude Code agents. Provides full PR-equivalent coverage before pushing.
Provides the action space, tradeoffs, and evaluation context for improving an editable AI agent against a benchmark while preserving its deployment contract. Use when optimizing agent accuracy, cost, latency, or reliability.
Prepare and publish stable Agent Lightning releases through the repository's version bump, pull-request checks, merge, tag, PyPI trusted-publishing, and versioned-documentation workflows. Use when asked to plan, cut, verify, or explain a release; treat nightly TestPyPI builds as a separate path.
Create and validate a minimal AGT Copilot CLI policy tailored to the repository being inspected.
Step-by-step process for validating a Python Foundry hosted agent sample (under python/samples/04-hosting/foundry-hosted-agents/) end to end — running it locally (native runtime and `azd ai agent run`) and after deploying it to an Azure AI Foundry project with `azd`. Use this when asked to validate a hosted agent sample.
Use when cutting a Python release for the microsoft/agent-framework monorepo. Triggers on "bump py versions", "cut a python release", "prepare release PR for python", "release py packages", "bump python to X.Y.Z", or similar requests to bump Python package versions and prepare a release PR. Handles all four lifecycle tiers (alpha, beta, rc, released) with CHANGELOG-driven selective bumps, floor bound checks, and post-bump validation.
Guidance for creating pull requests and handling PR review comments in the Agent Framework repository. Use this when writing a PR description (filling out the PR template) or when responding to and resolving review comments on an existing PR.

Turn a mission or lab idea into a fully researched GitHub issue spec on microsoft/agent-academy, then post it with the GitHub CLI. Use this skill whenever the user wants to propose new Agent Academy content before writing it — course missions (Recruit, Operative, Commander), standalone Special Ops, or Cowork Collective missions. Trigger whenever the user says "write a spec for a mission", "create an issue for a new lab", "I want to propose a Special Ops", "file a mission proposal", "spec out a lab", "open an issue for a new module", or hands over Microsoft Learn URLs and asks to turn them into
Look up who has starred the microsoft/agent-academy repository on GitHub. Use this skill whenever the user wants to check stargazers, see if a specific GitHub user has starred the repo, or retrieve an up-to-date list of stargazers. Trigger whenever the user says "who starred agent academy", "check stargazers", "has <user> starred the repo", or asks anything about the repository's stargazer list. This skill uses the GitHub CLI to fetch stargazers via the GitHub API and saves the results to a local JSON file. It will install prerequisites if needed.
Generate a full Agent Academy feedback report — extracting feedback from Excel files and GitHub issues, analyzing sentiment, generating charts, and producing a single styled PDF with a cover page, management summary, and detailed analysis. Use this skill when the user asks to generate an Agent Academy report, create a feedback analysis, build a course completion report, or wants to analyze Agent Academy survey data. Also triggers when the user mentions Agent Academy feedback, course grades, sentiment analysis of Agent Academy data, or exporting Agent Academy results to PDF.
Scaffold and author content for the microsoft/agent-academy GitHub repo. Use this skill whenever the user wants to create a new mission, lab, or module for Agent Academy — whether that's a course mission (Recruit, Operative, Commander) or a standalone Special Ops mission. Trigger whenever the user says "write a mission", "scaffold a lab", "create a Special Ops", "new Agent Academy module", or describes an agent-building concept they want to turn into a hands-on lesson. Also trigger when the user says "add a module to agent academy", "I want to contribute a mission", or asks about badge creatio
