Microsoft Fabric Skills is a collection of reusable instructions and MCP systems that help AI assistants work with Microsoft Fabric workloads, APIs, queries, and operations. It is intended for users of GitHub Copilot CLI and compatible coding tools; the catalogue entries are the skills, agents, instructions, MCP systems, plugins, and rules distributed by the project.
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.

What it costs to keep this loaded
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 | $0.00071 | $0.03102 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00028 | $0.01241 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00620 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00310 |
Grade A, and why
hdinsight-migration 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 2mo 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.
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 — 194 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Telemetry — MANDATORY. Every
api.fabric.microsoft.comcall must carryx-ms-fabric-skill: hdinsight-migration(az rest:--headers "x-ms-fabric-skill=hdinsight-migration"), including every LRO poll,fabric_lroand retry. Snippets omit it — add it anyway.
CRITICAL NOTES
- To find workspace details (including its ID) from a workspace name: list all workspaces, then use JMESPath filtering
- To find item details (including its ID) from workspace ID, item type, and item name: list all items of that type in that workspace, then use JMESPath filtering

Prerequisite Knowledge
Read these companion documents before executing migration tasks:
- COMMON-CORE.md — Fabric REST API patterns, authentication, token audiences, item discovery
- COMMON-CLI.md —

What ships with it
3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

hdinsight-migration is a skill published in the GitHub repository microsoft/skills-for-fabric (1,321 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 71 tokens to every session and 3,102 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
