Azure Copilot Skill

This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Copilot. Covers troubleshooting, decision making, architecture & design patterns, security, configuration, and integrations & coding patterns. It combines local quick-reference content with remote documentation fetching capabilities.

How to Use This Skill

IMPORTANT for Agent: Use the Category Index below to locate relevant sections. For categories with line ranges (e.g., L35-L120), use readfile with the specified lines. For categories with file links (e.g., [security.md](security.md)), use readfile on the linked reference file

IMPORTANT for Agent: If metadata.generatedat is more than 3 months old, suggest the user pull the latest version from the repository. If mcpmicrosoftdocs tools are not available, suggest the user install it: Installation Guide
