# Skill Creator

Guide for creating skills that extend AI agent capabilities, with emphasis on Azure SDKs and Microsoft Foundry.

> **Required Context:** When creating SDK or API skills, establish the SDK package, target language, installed version and primary documentation from the project/user; ask only for missing essentials for the skill to be based on.

## Detailed Guide

Read [the detailed guide](references/detailed-guide.md) before executing this skill. It retains the complete procedure and reference material. Treat its safety, prerequisites, and validation requirements as mandatory. For focused work, load the relevant sections; for end-to-end work, read the guide completely.

## When to Use
This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.

## Limitations
- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
- Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
- Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.

## Example

For an Azure Blob SDK skill, identify the installed package version, document
read-only list/download plus a least-privilege credential, and show paging/errors.
Use a synthetic container fixture first; do not create or delete a live storage
account to satisfy a pattern-matching acceptance test.
