Skills

[sethmanheim]

Hi folks -- very cool tool here, seems to work great. A little clarification on the installation instructions would help, but I managed to get things working.

In the intro email, it says "These skills are automatically created and maintained using a purpose built pipeline that scans Azure product documentation, identifies high value procedural and decision making content, and transforms it into structured SKILL.md files. There are no humans in the loop for skill creation. "

So then how often are the skills in the /skills folder in this repo refreshed, or is this just example data? I don't see some of the Azure services I work on, like Azure Local, Azure Stack Hub, or Container Storage. It's not clear to me how the /skills folder is maintained or updated with new skills.

Thanks!

I see there are instructions for creating our own skills -- are we allowed to do this? Also I still have a question about refreshing existing ones.

hi @sethmanheim , the pipeline runs once every week to get the latest updates from Learn site and update the skills here.

We updated our pipeline crawler and now this repo contains more azure product skills, could you take a look? Now Azure Local, Azure Container Storage are both included, Azure-Stack-Hub is not included because it's not under /azure/, is it an azure product?

And for contribution, after discussing with our PM, we updated our contribution guidance, we recommend contributors to contribute back to Learn page instead of this repo so the contribution can be valuable for both human and agent, our pipeline will catch up these latest contributions in time.

@OsmondJiang Azure Stack Hub is right here on Microsoft Learn.

@silkfire yes, but it's under /azure-stack/ instead of /azure/, do you think we should include it as part of azure products? Usually azure products are under /azure/ path.

@OsmondJiang @silkfire Azure Stack Hub is part of Azure of course, but it was the original member of the Azure Stack "family" which included Azure Stack HCI (now Azure Local) and Azure Stack Edge (retired). So the base URL is /azure-stack and not /azure/azure-stack. Azure Stack Hub is on the way to being sunsetted, so I wouldn't worry too much about this. Thanks all!

Great. I rest my case :)
