About semantic-kernel

semantic-kernel
Create, update, refactor, explain, or review Semantic Kernel solutions
semantic-kernel is an agent skill from the github/awesome-copilot collection for creating, updating, refactoring, explaining and reviewing applications built on Semantic Kernel, Microsoft's SDK for adding AI to applications through plugins, function calling and integrations. It covers those areas and calls for the latest documentation and samples rather than memory, because the SDK changes. The skill chooses the language workflow first. The .NET reference applies when the repository contains C#, .csproj or .sln files, or the user asks for C# or .NET guidance, and the Python reference applies when the repository has Python files or the user asks for Python. In a repository that uses both, the agent matches the language of the files it is editing. It is useful for developers building AI features into a .NET or Python application, and for teams maintaining Semantic Kernel code. Because Microsoft is moving its agent work toward the Microsoft Agent Framework, teams starting new projects should check which framework fits them before choosing this one. Plugins and function calls can act on real systems, so the functions an agent may call should be limited and reviewed. The skill is installed with the skills CLI from the github/awesome-copilot repository. Its skills.sh page showed about 1.7K installs and passing results from three security audits at the time of the scan.
