Implements tRPC-based communication between VS Code extension host and React webviews. Use when creating new webview procedures (queries, mutations, subscriptions), adding a new webview router, wiring up a webview controller, using the tRPC client from React components, applying telemetry middleware (telemetryMiddlewareBody), or supporting AbortSignal-based cancellation in webview operations.
Instrumentation patterns for telemetry in the vscode-documentdb extension. Use when adding telemetry to a feature, enriching existing telemetry with properties or measurements, linking related events with correlation IDs, instrumenting commands or tree views, suppressing noisy events, or deciding what data points to capture. Also use when asked to "add telemetry" or "improve telemetry" for any feature.
Triage an external contributor's PR and prepare it for merge. Detects push permission, base branch, draft state, size, and history quality, then picks one of three paths (review-only, direct push to contributor branch, or a `reviews/` staging branch). Use when triaging or reviewing a community PR, deciding whether maintainer changes are needed, choosing a merge strategy (squash/merge/rebase), or merging an external contribution.
Architecture patterns for React-based webviews in the vscode-documentdb extension. Use when creating new webview components, modifying existing views (CollectionView, DocumentView), working with state management (Context API), integrating Fluent UI components, handling Monaco Editor or SlickGrid, solving stale closure bugs with refs, or debugging webview rendering issues. Does NOT cover tRPC messaging (see webview-trpc-messaging skill) or accessibility/ARIA (see accessibility-aria-expert skill).
Backport changes (the current branch, a PR, another branch, or specific commits/SHAs) onto a target branch — typically a short-lived release branch such as `release/0.10.1`. Use when the user says "backport this", "backport PR
Reviews and authors telemetry code in this extension. Use when adding, modifying, or reviewing any `callWithTelemetryAndErrorHandling` call, any `context.telemetry.properties`/`measurements` assignment, or any helper that reports stats to telemetry. Ensures no PII/EUII is emitted, that property vs. measurement usage is correct, and that event/property names are consistent.
Backport changes (current branch, a PR, a branch, or specific commits/SHAs) onto a target branch (typically a release branch like `rel/*`). Use when the user says "backport this", "backport PR ...", "cherry-pick to <branch>", or asks to port commits to another branch. Handles stashing uncommitted work, branch creation, cherry-picking with conflict handling, pushing, and opening a PR.
How to install a VS Code extension from an extension ID. Useful when the user wants to add new capabilities to their VS Code environment by installing extensions.
Get the current search results from the Search view in VS Code
Use this agent when the user needs to upgrade Anthropic SDK packages. This includes: upgrading @anthropic-ai/sdk or @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk to newer versions, migrating between SDK versions, resolving SDK-related dependency conflicts, updating SDK types and interfaces, or asking about SDK upgrade procedures. Examples: 'Upgrade the Anthropic SDK to the latest version', 'Help me migrate to the latest claude-agent-sdk', 'What's the process for upgrading Anthropic packages?'
Microsoft Research's BioEmu — generates protein conformational ensembles from amino acid sequence on a local GPU. Use when users mention BioEmu by name, want to predict protein dynamics or flexibility from sequence, or are setting up / running / troubleshooting BioEmu locally.
Aurora — Microsoft's foundation model for the Earth system. Use this skill for both inference (regional weather/climate forecasting, Norway example, ERA5/CDS data, wind/temperature/pressure mapping) and fine-tuning Aurora on new variables, regions, or domains (training, evaluation, checkpoint extension, gradient/loss debugging). Triggers on Aurora, Microsoft Aurora, foundation models for Earth systems, ERA5/CDS/NetCDF weather data, weather forecast validation, and adapting Aurora to new use cases.
Review open non-draft microsoft/vcpkg pull requests updated in the last 30 days. Use when asked for batch triage, per-PR review reports, an index grouped by verdict, or grouping competing PRs that modify the same port.
Audit a vcpkg port locally. Reads the port metadata and build recipe, installs the port, inspects extracted sources and installed files, and produces a report covering license risks, vendored code, optional dependencies, and other port review suggestions.
Build and test the @typespec/http-client-python emitter. Use this skill whenever the user wants to test their local changes to the emitter, run the generator test suite, check if their http-client-python changes are passing, or validate a fix. Triggers on phrases like "test the emitter", "run tests", "check if my changes pass", "run test:generator", "run CI", or any mention of testing/validating changes in the emitter package.
Generate Python SDK code from a TypeSpec specification using the local emitter. Use this skill when the user wants to generate/regenerate a Python client from a TypeSpec spec, provides a GitHub URL or local path to a TypeSpec project, or says things like "generate from this spec", "emit Python from this tsp", "regenerate the SDK", or "compile this TypeSpec for Python".
Regenerate the local emitter and diff the generated code against the upstream baseline checked into autorest.python. Use this skill when the user wants to see how their emitter changes affect generated code compared to what's currently in production, says things like "diff upstream", "compare to baseline", "what changed vs production", "show me the diff", "how does this affect generated code", or wants to validate their changes produce the expected output differences.
Writes TypeSpec http-client-python generator mock API tests (azure/unbranded/shared) from a Spector case. Use when given a Spector case link or a PR link that modifies Spector cases under http-specs/azure-http-specs.
Format the codebase with pnpm and recover from common formatting failures.
Help create a minimal reproduction for a TypeSpec compiler or emitter bug. Use when a user provides TypeSpec source (pasted code or a GitHub URL) and describes an issue. Reproduces locally and reduces to a single-file repro.
Create a PR to bump TypeSpec/Azure Tools dependencies, update peer dependencies, or release a new version of the http-client-python package.
Prepare language emitter changes for PR: validate (build, format, lint), add a changeset, and push. This skill is specifically for the language emitter packages (http-client-python, http-client-csharp, http-client-java) - NOT for core TypeSpec packages like compiler, http, openapi3, etc. Use when the user wants to finalize emitter changes, says things like "prep for pr", "prepare for PR", "validate and push", "add changeset", or "finalize changes".
Discovers and implements gaps in Spector test coverage for the C# HTTP client emitter. Use when asked to find missing Spector scenarios, add Spector test coverage, or implement a specific Spector spec for the C# emitter.
