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 | $0.00026 | $0.02558 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00013 | $0.01279 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00512 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00256 |
Grade A, and why
generate 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 — 150 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Process
Execute the following steps in order:
Step 0: Source Repository Resolution (MUST DO FIRST)
Before any analysis, you MUST determine the source repository context. Do NOT skip this step.
- Check for git remote: Run
git remote get-url originto detect if a remote URL 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 - Store the citation format for use in all subsequent steps:
- Remote:
[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:
(file_path:line_number)— e.g.,(src/auth.ts:42) - Line ranges:
#Lstart-Lend— e.g.,[src/auth.ts:42-58](https://github.com/org/repo/blob/main/src/auth.ts#L42-L58) - Mermaid diagrams: Every diagram MUST be followed by a
<!-- Sources: file_path:line, file_path:line -->comment block - Tables: Include a "Source" column with linked citations when listing components, APIs, or configurations
- Remote:
Step 1: Repository Scan
Examine the repository structure. Identify:
- Entry points (
main.*,index.*,app.*,server.*,Program.*) - Configuration files (
package.json,*.csproj,Cargo.toml,pyproject.toml,go.mod) - Build/deploy configs (
Dockerfile,docker-compose.yml, CI/CD) - Documentation (
README.md,docs/,CONTRIBUTING.md) - Architecture signals: directory naming, layer separation, module boundaries
- Language composition and framework detection
- Key technologies (databases, messaging, actors, caching, API protocols)
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.

generate is a command published in the GitHub repository microsoft/skills (2,992 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 2,558 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.
Other commands, from other repositories
checklist
Generate a custom checklist for the current feature based on user requirements.
clarify
Identify underspecified areas in the current feature spec by asking up to 5 highly targeted clarification questions and encoding answers back into the spec.
specify
Create or update the feature specification from a natural language feature description.
analyze
Perform a non-destructive cross-artifact consistency and quality analysis across spec.md, plan.md, and tasks.md after task generation.
converge
Assess the current codebase against the feature's spec, plan, and tasks, then append any remaining unbuilt work as new tasks to tasks.md so implement can complete it.
implement
Execute the implementation plan by processing and executing all tasks defined in tasks.md.
