Azure AI Agent Skills

Guide for creating effective skills for AI coding agents working with Azure SDKs and Microsoft Foundry services. Use when creating new skills or updating existing skills.

Build AI applications using Azure AI Projects SDK for JavaScript (@azure/ai-projects). Use when working with Foundry project clients, agents, connections, deployments, datasets, indexes, evaluations, or getting OpenAI clients.

Build real-time voice AI applications using Azure AI Voice Live SDK (azure-ai-voicelive). Use this skill when creating Python applications that need real-time bidirectional audio communication with Azure AI, including voice assistants, voice-enabled chatbots, real-time speech-to-speech translation, voice-driven avatars, or any WebSocket-based audio streaming with AI models. Supports Server VAD (Voice Activity Detection), turn-based conversation, function calling, MCP tools, avatar integration, a

Extract text, tables, and structured data from documents using Azure Document Intelligence (@azure-rest/ai-document-intelligence). Use when processing invoices, receipts, IDs, forms, or building custom document models.

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation for Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2. This service provides a standardized interface for interacting with ADLS2 storage, enabling file operations through MCP tools. Requires Python 3.13 or higher. Install the package using uv: 1 - Edit Claude Desktop Configuration: Open claudedesktopconfig.json and add the following configuration. On MacOs, the file

Build Azure Cosmos DB NoSQL services with Python/FastAPI following production-grade patterns. Use when implementing database client setup with dual auth (DefaultAzureCredential + emulator), service layer classes with CRUD operations, partition key strategies, parameterized queries, or TDD patterns for Cosmos. Triggers on phrases like "Cosmos DB", "NoSQL database", "document store", "add persistence", "database service layer", or "Python Cosmos SDK".

Build real-time chat applications with Azure Communication Services Chat Java SDK. Use when implementing chat threads, messaging, participants, read receipts, typing notifications, or real-time chat features.

Build AI applications using the Azure AI Projects Python SDK (azure-ai-projects). Use when working with Foundry project clients, creating versioned agents with PromptAgentDefinition, running evaluations, managing connections/deployments/datasets/indexes, or using OpenAI-compatible clients. This is the high-level Foundry SDK - for low-level agent operations, use azure-ai-agents-python skill.

Manage secrets using Azure Key Vault Secrets SDK for JavaScript (@azure/keyvault-secrets). Use when storing and retrieving application secrets or configuration values.
