Description
Microsoft Foundry is an agent skill from Microsoft's azure-skills collection that helps an AI coding agent work with Microsoft Foundry resources. It covers finding and deploying models, the full development lifecycle of an AI agent, evaluation workflows, and troubleshooting. For agents, the lifecycle runs from creating an agent from starter samples, through containerizing it and pushing the image to Azure Container Registry, to deploying it as a hosted or prompt agent and invoking it. It also covers batch evaluation of an agent and prompt optimization. The skill starts with a dependency check and setup script that installs only the tools that are missing before any other step runs. It is listed on skills.sh and is aimed at developers who build on Microsoft Foundry and want the agent to handle the routine steps for them.…

What does the Microsoft Foundry skill do?
It guides an AI coding agent through working with Microsoft Foundry: discovering and deploying models, building and deploying AI agents, running batch evaluations, optimizing prompts, and troubleshooting Foundry resources.
How do I install it?
Run: npx skills add https://github.com/microsoft/azure-skills --skill microsoft-foundry
Does it need anything set up first?
Yes. The skill tells the agent to run a dependency check and setup script first. The script installs only the dependencies that are missing, and it is run from the skill's root folder (a .sh file on macOS and Linux, a .ps1 file on Windows).
Who publishes it?
Microsoft publishes it in the azure-skills repository on GitHub, which also holds other Azure skills such as azure-prepare, azure-validate and azure-storage.
What security checks has it passed?
skills.sh lists three audits: Gen Agent Trust Hub Pass, Socket Warn and Snyk Pass. A Warn or Fail is worth reading before you install.
