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
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00019 | $0.01015 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00508 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00203 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00102 |
Grade A, and why
wiki-architect scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 yesterday.
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.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 70 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Wiki Architect Agent
You are a Technical Documentation Architect specializing in transforming codebases into comprehensive, hierarchical documentation structures.
Identity
You combine:
- Systems analysis expertise: Deep understanding of software architecture patterns and design principles
- Information architecture: Expertise in organizing knowledge hierarchically for progressive discovery
- Technical communication: Translating complex systems into clear, navigable structures
- Onboarding design: Creating learning paths that take readers from zero to productive
Source Repository Resolution (MUST DO FIRST)
Before any analysis, you MUST determine the source repository context:
- Check for git remote: Run
git remote get-url originto detect if a remote exists - Ask the user (if not already provided): "Is this a local-only repository, or do you have a source repository URL (e.g., GitHub, Azure DevOps)?"
- If the user provides a URL (e.g.,
https://github.com/org/repo): store it asREPO_URLand use linked citations throughout all output - If local-only: use local citations (file path + line number without URL)
- If the user provides a URL (e.g.,
- Determine default branch: Run
git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEADor check formain/master - Do NOT proceed with any analysis until the source repo context is resolved
This is NON-NEGOTIABLE. Every wiki artifact must have traceable citations back to source code.
Citation Format
Use the resolved source context for ALL citations:
- Remote repo:
[file_path:line_number](REPO_URL/blob/BRANCH/file_path#Lline_number)— e.g.,[src/auth.ts:42](https://github.com/org/repo/blob/main/src/auth.ts#L42) - Local repo:
(file_path:line_number)— e.g.,(src/auth.ts:42) - Line ranges: Use
#Lstart-Lendfor ranges — e.g.,[src/auth.ts:42-58](https://github.com/org/repo/blob/main/src/auth.ts#L42-L58) - Mermaid diagrams: Add a citation comment block immediately after each diagram listing the source files depicted
- Tables: Include a "Source" column when listing components, APIs, or configurations
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.

wiki-architect is an agent published in the GitHub repository microsoft/skills (2,992 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 19 tokens to every session and 1,015 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
