Azure skills is an open-source project maintained by Microsoft on GitHub, designed to provide a set of reusable 'skills' definitions for Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI assistants.

## What is Azure skills?

Azure skills is an open-source project maintained by Microsoft on GitHub, designed to provide a set of reusable 'skills' definitions for Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI assistants.These skills typically exist as structured prompts or plugins, enabling AI to more accurately understand and execute complex tasks related to the Microsoft Azure cloud platform.

The project helps developers integrate Azure resource management, monitoring, and configuration capabilities into intelligent agents through standardized interfaces and descriptions.As detailed official documentation is limited, please refer to the latest code and README file in the GitHub repository for specific supported skills and technical implementation details.

## Key features

- **Microsoft Mainta**：Hosted directly by Microsoft on GitHub, ensuring compatibility and authority of skill definitions with Azure platform services.
- **Structured Defin**：Provides standardized formats for describing AI-executable actions, facilitating model parsing and invocation.
- **Azure Cloud Inte**：Focuses on the Azure ecosystem, covering common cloud operation scenarios such as resource management, deployment, and operations.
- **Open Source Tran**：Code is fully public, allowing developers to view, audit, and modify skill logic according to their needs.
- **AI Agent Enhance**：Aims to improve the accuracy and automation level of AI assistants when handling cloud infrastructure tasks.

## How to use it

1. Visit the microsoft/azure-skills repository page on GitHub.
2. Browse the repository directory to understand currently available skill modules and their descriptions.
3. Read the README file for guidance on how to integrate these skills into AI applications.
4. Clone the repository to your local environment to view specific code implementations and configuration files.
5. Integrate the required skill definitions into your LLM or AI agent framework according to the project instructions.

## Where it fits

- **Intelligent Ops**：Build AI assistants for IT ops teams, enabling them to query Azure resource status or perform actions like restarts via natural language.
- **Automated Deploy**：Integrate AI skills into DevOps pipelines to assist in generating or validating Azure resource deployment templates.
- **Cloud Cost Optim**：Leverage analytical capabilities in the skills library to let AI help identify unused Azure resources and provide optimization recommendations.

## FAQ

### Is Azure skills a standalone software product?

No, it is an open-source code repository on GitHub that provides skill definitions and plugin logic callable by AI models, rather than a standalone running application.

### Is there a cost to use these skills?

The code repository itself is free and open-source.However, Azure cloud operations executed through these skills may incur corresponding cloud service charges, depending on your Azure subscription plan.

### Which programming languages or frameworks are supported?

As official documentation is brief, supported languages depend on the format of the skill definitions (e.g., JSON, YAML, or Python scripts).It is recommended to check the sample code in the repository to confirm compatibility.
