This skills collection addresses the lack of standardized, reusable skills for AI developers working on the Microsoft Agent 365 platform. In practice, developers need to upgrade regular agents to AI Teammates, register blueprints, configure WorkIQ MCP tools, implement observability, and perform local testing—steps that are often fragmented and lack unified guidance. This repository provides pre-built skill packages covering the complete Agent 365 lifecycle, enabling developers to get started quickly and avoid reinventing the wheel.
Usage is highly flexible; you can choose the installation method based on your AI coding assistant. If you use Claude Code, execute /plugin marketplace add https://github.com/microsoft/agent365-skills in a conversation, followed by /plugin install agent365@agent365-skills. For GitHub Copilot CLI, simply run gh skill add microsoft/agent365-skills to automatically install all seven skills. For VS Code agent mode, run the scripts/install.js script within the project to copy the skills to the local .agents/skills/ directory. After installation, you can invoke these skills using natural language commands, such as "Turn this agent into an AI Teammate" or "Add observability to this agent."
It is well-suited for teams or individuals developing agent applications based on Microsoft Agent 365. This is especially true for developers already using Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or VS Code agent mode as part of their daily workflow who also want to rapidly integrate Agent 365 platform capabilities. Both enterprise-level AI Teammate projects and experimental projects by independent developers can benefit. Operations engineers can also leverage its observability skills to monitor agent runtime status.
We recommend prioritizing this skills collection when standardizing a team's development environment to ensure all members follow the same Agent 365 development practices. Note that the collection requires users to have developer access to a Microsoft Agent 365 tenant and need to install prerequisite tools like the a365 CLI and Azure CLI. For initial setup, a tenant administrator must run a365 setup requirements once to complete the Entra ID app registration, after which all developers can use the skills seamlessly.
Key Features
Unlike general-purpose skills in the Claude Code official plugin marketplace, agent365-skills is specifically tailored for the Microsoft Agent 365 ecosystem. It provides an end-to-end skills package covering blueprint registration, WorkIQ MCP configuration, and OTel observability, addressing the complete agent lifecycle—not just code completion or debugging assistance.
Limitations
Requires Microsoft Agent 365 tenant developer permissions, installation of the a365 CLI and Azure CLI, and depends on at least one runtime environment among Node.js 18+, .NET 8.0+, or Python 3.11+.
FAQ
How do I install this skills collection into Claude Code?
In a Claude Code conversation, execute sequentially: `/plugin marketplace add https://github.com/microsoft/agent365-skills` and `/plugin install agent365@agent365-skills`.
What permissions do I need on Microsoft Azure?
A tenant administrator (with the Application Administrator role) must run `a365 setup requirements` once to create the Entra ID app registration. After this, all developers inherit the ready state.
