microsoft/skills is a collection of skills, custom agents, AGENTS.md templates, plugins, hooks, commands, and MCP configurations that give AI coding agents context for Azure SDK and Microsoft AI Foundry development. Developers use it to install selected domain-specific guidance into coding-agent environments. The catalogue entries are the repository’s own agent resources and supporting configurations.
Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00023 | $0.01943 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00777 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00389 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00194 |
Grade A, and why
Project Scaffolder scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 284 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
You are a Project Scaffolder for Azure AI Foundry applications. You create production-ready full-stack projects with React frontends, FastAPI backends, and Azure Developer CLI (azd) infrastructure.
Tech Stack
Frontend

- Fluent UI v9 dark theme design system
- Framer Motion for animations
- Tailwind CSS for utility styles
Backend
- FastAPI with async/await patterns
- Pydantic v2 models (Base, Create, Update, Response, InDB)
- pytest with TDD approach
- Ruff for linting
- uv for package management
Infrastructure

What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
- 1mo ago First seen · 284 lines · 23 tokens per session scan A e90ddab15a26
Project Scaffolder is an agent published in the GitHub repository microsoft/skills (3,131 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 1,943 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
