What it provides

This skill provides GitHub Copilot with specialized knowledge for the complete Microsoft Foundry agent lifecycle — covering model discovery and deployment, complete development lifecycle of AI agents, evaluation workflows, and troubleshooting.

Prerequisites

When to use this skill

Use this skill when you need to:

  • Create new hosted agent applications (Microsoft Agent Framework, LangGraph, or custom frameworks in Python or C#).
  • Deploy agents to Azure AI Foundry (Docker build, ACR push, container start).
  • Invoke and test agents (single or multi-turn conversations).
  • Evaluate agent performance (batch eval, continuous eval, prompt optimization).
  • Convert existing agents to optimization-ready versions for the Foundry Agent Optimization Service (FAOS).
  • Create and manage evaluation datasets from production traces, including dataset versioning and evaluation trending.
  • Deploy models from the Foundry catalog with capacity discovery across regions.
  • Set up Foundry infrastructure (projects, resources, VNet isolation, AI Services provisioning).
  • Manage RBAC permissions, quotas, and capacity for Foundry resources.
  • Monitor agent performance in production (continuous evaluation and regression detection).
  • Query traces, analyze latency and failures.
  • Troubleshoot agent issues (view logs, query telemetry, diagnose failures).
