MicrosoftSkillmicrosoft/garnet/.github/skills/pr-finalize/SKILL.md
Finalizes any PR for merge by verifying title/description match implementation AND performing code review for best practices. Use when asked to "finalize PR", "check PR description", "review commit message", before merging any PR, or when PR implementation changed during review. Do NOT use for extracting lessons or investigating build failures.
MicrosoftSkillmicrosoft/promptflow/.github/skills/maf-prs-job/SKILL.md
Convert an existing Prompt Flow Parallel Run Step (PRS) pipeline submission into an Azure ML PRS pipeline that runs a Microsoft Agent Framework (MAF) workflow. Wraps the MAF workflow into a PRS init()/run() entry script, generates the parallel component YAML and conda environment, and rewrites the pipeline submission script. Replaces what `load_component(flow.dag.yaml)` did automatically for Prompt Flow \u2014 produces the hand-built equivalent so that downstream pipeline code (`flow_node = flow_component(...)`, `flow_node.outputs.flow_outputs`, `flow_node.outputs.debug_info`, `flow_node.mini_batch_size`, scheduler, batch endpoint) stays unchanged. WHEN: convert promptflow PRS to MAF PRS, migrate PRS pipeline to agent framework, wrap MAF workflow as parallel component, bulk run MAF workflow, run agent framework as parallel run step, batch run MAF workflow on AML, submit MAF workflow as pipeline component, replace flow.dag.yaml with MAF workflow in pipeline, load_component equivalent for MAF workflow, MAF version of flow_component, load MAF workflow as component, wrap MAF workflow as flow component, MAF flow component, replace flow_node in pipeline with MAF workflow, keep flow_outputs and debug_info ports with MAF, MAF parallel component with connections={}, run MAF workflow as flow_node in AML pipeline, load_component('workflow.py') doesn't work. DO NOT USE FOR: converting the flow itself (use promptflow-to-maf), deploying as online endpoint (use maf-online-endpoint), enabling tracing only (use maf-tracing).

This is the Windows Package Manager (WinGet) community repository — a manifest-only repo containing ~415,000+ YAML files describing how to install Windows applications via winget. There is no application source code here. The tooling is PowerShell scripts in Tools/. Never recursively scan or search the manifests/ directory. It contains hundreds of thousands of files and will cause severe performance issues. Only search within the specific package folder being modified (e.g., manifests/m/Microsoft/WindowsTerminal/). Each package version lives in manifests/<first-letter>/<Publisher>/<Package>/<Version>/ and requires three…

Drive, inspect, assert on, record, and watch a real terminal from the command line with the tui-test cli. Use when running shells (bash, zsh, fish, PowerShell, pwsh, cmd, xonsh, elvish, nushell) or TUI programs (vim, less, top, etc.) in a headless PTY; sending keystrokes, key combos, or mouse input; resizing, writing raw bytes, or signaling the child; waiting for a command to finish or the screen to settle; asserting on terminal text, colors, exit codes, output, or snapshots; capturing text or full-color SVG screenshots; recording and replaying asciinema sessions; watching a live cli session while an agent drives it; or driving process-local sessions from Rust, Python, or Node.

The end-user quick start is in README.md. This file records how the sample is wired and why, for anyone maintaining it. The sample used to hand-wire around the product, because TableView's type information was withheld from the public winmd and its theme resources did not resolve in a consuming app. It linked raw build output, regenerated its own CsWinRT projection, injected a XAML metadata provider, seeded an internal template part into XamlTypeInfo, compiled the control's theme resources out of the…
Plain text files in a repository that tell a coding agent how the project works: commands to run, conventions to follow and things to avoid. CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, cursor rules and skills are the common kinds.
CLAUDE.md is read by Claude Code. AGENTS.md is an open format that Codex, Cursor and other agents read. Many projects keep one and point the other at it.
A folder with a SKILL.md that describes one capability, such as filling PDFs or reviewing code. The agent loads it only when the task calls for it.
Your agents already can, over MCP, limited to the files you're allowed to read. Searching them from this page is coming.
