+# Example: Quoted Replies
+
+A bot that demonstrates quoted reply features in Microsoft Teams — referencing previous messages when sending responses.
+
+## Commands
+
+| Command | Behavior |
+|---------|----------|
+| `test reply` | `reply()` — auto-quotes the inbound message |
+| `test quote` | `quote()` — sends a message, then quotes it by ID |
+| `test add` | `add_quote()` — sends a message, then quotes it with builder + response |
+| `test multi` | Sends two messages, then quotes both with interleaved responses |
+| `test manual` | `add_quote()` + `add_text()` — manual control |
+| `help` | Shows available commands |
+| *(quote a message)* | Bot reads and displays the quoted reply metadata |
+
+## Run
+
+```bash
+cd examples/quoted-replies
+pip install -e .
+python src/main.py
+
+# Or with uv:
+uv run python src/main.py
+```
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+Create a `.env` file:
+
+```env
+CLIENT_ID=<your-azure-bot-app-id>
+CLIENT_SECRET=<your-azure-bot-app-secret>
+TENANT_ID=<your-tenant-id>
