@JAORMX

Description

@JAORMX

Package a curated subset of agent skills from microsoft/skills into the Dockyard registry.

Source

  • Repo: https://github.com/microsoft/skills
  • License: MIT
  • Upstream HEAD (at survey time): a2c0524 (2026-04-17)
  • Skill count upstream: 177+ (explicitly too large to ingest wholesale)
  • Trust signal: Microsoft org; 2.1k stars

Curation guidance

Do not package all 177 skills. Pick a high-value subset aligned with Dockyard themes. Candidates to consider:

  • .github/skills/skill-creator
  • .github/skills/mcp-builder
  • .github/skills/kql
  • .github/skills/entra-agent-id
  • .github/skills/copilot-sdk
  • Azure AI language SDK skills (e.g., azure-ai-agents-persistent-dotnet) — only if clearly reusable outside Azure
  • README-listed named skills: cloud-solution-architect, frontend-design-review, github-issue-creator, microsoft-docs

Acceptance criteria

  • Curation decision documented in the PR description
  • One spec.yaml per selected skill under skills/<name>/
  • spec.ref pinned to an audited upstream commit SHA
  • task validate-skill passes for each
  • task scan-skill findings triaged
  • Single PR grouping all Microsoft skills (branch skills/microsoft)

Related repos from Microsoft also worth considering in follow-up issues: microsoft/azure-skills (56 skills), microsoft/azure-devops-skills, microsoft/power-platform-skills, microsoft/Dataverse-skills.

Part of the vendor-by-vendor sweep following #466 (Trail of Bits).
