Can I customize the generated skill?

Yes, the process includes a clarification step where you can specify which areas of the technology are most important and which programming languages to prioritize.

How does it handle code examples?

The creator uses the microsoft_code_sample_search tool to find official patterns, then organizes them into 'getting-started' and 'common-pattern' directories within the new skill.

What Microsoft technologies can this skill document?

It can create skills for any technology covered by Microsoft Learn, including Azure services, .NET frameworks, Microsoft 365, VS Code extensions, and Bicep.

What is a hybrid skill?

A hybrid skill stores essential, high-frequency knowledge locally while providing Claude with specific search queries to find deeper or version-specific details dynamically using MCP tools.

Is the Microsoft Learn MCP Server required?

Yes, this skill relies on the Microsoft Learn MCP Server to perform real-time searches and fetch the latest documentation and code samples.

Learning & Documentation

Automates the generation of specialized agent skills for Microsoft technologies by leveraging real-time documentation and code samples through the Microsoft Learn MCP Server.

About

The Microsoft Skill Creator is a powerful utility for developers who want to extend Claude Code with deep, domain-specific knowledge of the Microsoft ecosystem. By utilizing the Microsoft Learn MCP Server, this skill autonomously investigates technologies like Azure, .NET, Bicep, and M365 to build a hybrid skill structure. It intelligently balances local context—storing foundational concepts and core code patterns—with dynamic search capabilities for exhaustive technical references. This ensures that the generated skills are lightweight, highly accurate, and always connected to the most current Microsoft documentation and best practices.
