This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.

What it does

The repository grounds agents in Microsoft SDKs: over a hundred and fifty skills split into language plugins with -py, -dotnet, -ts, -java and -rust suffixes. They cover clients for Cosmos DB, Blob Storage, Service Bus, Event Hubs, Key Vault, Identity, AI Search, speech, document intelligence and more. The Foundry group covers model deployment, hosted agents, memory, observability and governance. There are also general skills such as mcp-builder and cloud-solution-architect, the deep-wiki and azure plugins, an AGENTS.md template, agent roles and ready MCP configs.

Who it is for. For developers building on Azure and Microsoft Foundry with coding agents.

Example request

Write a Python service that reads Service Bus messages and stores them in Cosmos DB using DefaultAzureCredential

Limitations

The repository is a work in progress and skills are being updated to newer SDK patterns. Real use needs an Azure subscription. Many Foundry features are marked preview.

How to disable. Delete the installed skill folders from the agent directory, such as .github/skills for GitHub Copilot.

Security check

• Some skills suggest az and azd commands that create cloud resources
• Generated code works with Azure credentials

README in short

The README explains the approach: SDK knowledge is already in model weights and skills provide the activation context. Install via npx skills add with a selection wizard, or manually by cloning and symlinking. A catalog follows by language and group, plus sections on plugins, agent roles and MCP configs. A site offers skill search and one-click install. MIT licensed.

# Kusto Graph Semantics

Build transient and persistent graphs from tabular data using KQL graph operators. This skill translates natural language into the edges-first graph construction pattern and graph query operators.

## Activation Triggers

Use this skill when the user:
- Wants to build a graph from tabular data (`make-graph`)
- Asks to find patterns, paths, or relationships in data
- Mentions `graph-match`, `graph-shortest-paths`, `graph-to-table`, `graph-mark-components`
- Wants to create a persistent graph model or snapshot
- Says "build a graph", "find the shortest path", "find connected components", "show relationships"
- Asks about transient vs persistent graphs
