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.

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 | $0.00046 | $0.00535 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00214 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00107 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00053 |
Grade A, and why
fastapi-router-py 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 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.
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.
What it actually says
FastAPI Router
Create FastAPI routers following established patterns with proper authentication, response models, and HTTP status codes.
Quick Start
Copy the template from assets/template.py and replace placeholders:
{{ResourceName}}→ PascalCase name (e.g.,Project){{resource_name}}→ snake_case name (e.g.,project){{resource_plural}}→ plural form (e.g.,projects)
Authentication Patterns
# Optional auth - returns None if not authenticated
current_user: Optional[User] = Depends(get_current_user)
# Required auth - raises 401 if not authenticated
current_user: User = Depends(get_current_user_required)
Response Models
@router.get("/items/{item_id}", response_model=Item)
async def get_item(item_id: str) -> Item:
...
@router.get("/items", response_model=list[Item])
async def list_items() -> list[Item]:
...
HTTP Status Codes
@router.post("/items", status_code=status.HTTP_201_CREATED)
async def create_item(item: ItemCreate) -> Item:
...
@router.delete("/items/{id}", status_code=status.HTTP_204_NO_CONTENT)
async def delete_item(id: str) -> None:
...
Integration Steps
- Create router in
src/backend/app/routers/ - Mount in
src/backend/app/main.py - Create corresponding Pydantic models
- Create service layer if needed
- Add frontend API functions
Best Practices
- Pick
deforasync defper endpoint based on whether you call async I/O; do not call blocking I/O from anasync defhandler. - Manage long-lived resources (DB pools, HTTP clients) in
lifespanand inject viaDepends; usewith/async withfor per-request resources.

What ships with it
2 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.

fastapi-router-py is a skill published in the GitHub repository microsoft/skills (3,134 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 535 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-09-03.
