MicrosoftSkillmicrosoft/SynapseML/.github/skills/synapseml-pr-loop/SKILL.md
Make one or more SynapseML issues or pull requests evidence-based merge-ready. Use for "5/5 confidence", "200% ready", stale/outdated PR remediation, rebase-and-test requests, resolving all review comments, or proving a feature ships without correctness, compatibility, performance, or Spark regressions.
MicrosoftAGENTS.mdmicrosoft/poml/AGENTS.md
This repository contains a TypeScript/JavaScript project together with a lite Python SDK. These instructions are for agents like Codex to contribute changes. After your changes you must verify that everything still builds and tests pass. Execute the following commands from the repository root: If you have updated the VS Code extension, please run the extension tests with: Update the component specifications if you have updated the type annotations and documentations of the components. Use clear titles and summaries. Include relevant…
MicrosoftCLAUDE.mdmicrosoft/poml/CLAUDE.md
POML (Prompt Orchestration Markup Language) is a structured markup language for advanced prompt engineering with LLMs. It provides an HTML-like syntax with semantic components, comprehensive data handling, and a CSS-like styling system. The project consists of: The core POML processor is built with TypeScript and React:
MicrosoftCLAUDE.mdmicrosoft/poml/packages/poml-browser/CLAUDE.md
This file provides guidance to Claude Code when working with the POML browser extension package. The POML Browser Extension (packages/poml-browser/) provides POML support in web browsers through a Chrome extension. It enables users to extract content from web pages, manage it as cards, and convert it to POML format. Important notes on building and testing for Claude: As developers usually run a long-running watch process, please do not emit build commands by yourself. Do not run tests on your own.…
MicrosoftSkillmicrosoft/FluidFramework/.agency/plugins/ff-oce/skills/ff-oce-dashboard/SKILL.md
Generate the OCE shift status dashboard. Triggers on: 'generate shift dashboard', 'show dashboard', 'shift status', 'status dashboard', 'what's going on', or any request for a NON-SPECIFIC overview of current OCE status (incidents, pipelines, errors).
MicrosoftSkillmicrosoft/FluidFramework/.agency/plugins/ff-oce/skills/ff-oce-kusto/SKILL.md
Use this skill for any Kusto query or telemetry investigation specifically related to Fluid Framework or its partners. Triggers include: writing or running a Kusto query against the Office Fluid database, investigating Fluid Framework telemetry or error rates, querying Office_Fluid_FluidRuntime_* tables, looking up a Fluid session by Session_Id or docId, investigating a Fluid-related error in Loop or Whiteboard telemetry, monitoring an FF bump or partner ring deployment, checking Fluid render reliability or Scriptor errors, or when the user mentions Fluid-specific tables (Office_Fluid_FluidRuntime_*, OwhLoads, HostTracker, Scriptor) or Fluid-specific error types (dataCorruptionError, dataProcessingError, DeltaConnectionFailureToConnect, ICE, ACE). Do NOT trigger for general Kusto questions that are not related to Fluid Framework.
MicrosoftSkillmicrosoft/FluidFramework/.agency/plugins/nori/skills/brainstorming/SKILL.md
IMMEDIATELY USE THIS SKILL when creating or develop anything and before writing code or implementation plans - refines rough ideas into fully-formed designs through structured Socratic questioning, alternative exploration, and incremental validation
MicrosoftSkillmicrosoft/FluidFramework/.agency/plugins/nori/skills/building-ui-ux/SKILL.md
Use when implementing user interfaces or user experiences - guides through exploration of design variations, frontend setup, iteration, and proper integration
MicrosoftSkillmicrosoft/FluidFramework/.agency/plugins/nori/skills/creating-debug-tests-and-iterating/SKILL.md
Use this skill when faced with a difficult debugging task where you need to replicate some bug or behavior in order to see what is going wrong.
MicrosoftSkillmicrosoft/FluidFramework/.agency/plugins/nori/skills/creating-skills/SKILL.md
Use when you need to create a new custom skill for a profile - guides through gathering requirements, creating directory structure, writing SKILL.md, and optionally adding bundled scripts
MicrosoftSkillmicrosoft/FluidFramework/.agency/plugins/nori/skills/finishing-a-development-branch/SKILL.md
Use this when you have completed some feature implementation and have written passing tests, and you are ready to create a PR.
MicrosoftSkillmicrosoft/FluidFramework/.agency/plugins/nori/skills/handle-large-tasks/SKILL.md
Use this skill to split large plans into smaller chunks. This skill manages your context window for large tasks. Use it when a task will take a long time and cause context issues.
MicrosoftSkillmicrosoft/FluidFramework/.agency/plugins/nori/skills/receiving-code-review/SKILL.md
Use when receiving code review feedback, before implementing suggestions, especially if feedback seems unclear or technically questionable - requires technical rigor and verification, not performative agreement or blind implementation
MicrosoftSkillmicrosoft/FluidFramework/.agency/plugins/nori/skills/starting-nori/SKILL.md
ALWAYS load this skill if it is not already loaded, for ANY user query or conversation - establishes the Nori workflow, protected-branch check, operating mode, tone, and coding guidelines before any other work
MicrosoftSkillmicrosoft/FluidFramework/.agency/plugins/nori/skills/systematic-debugging/SKILL.md
Use when encountering any bug, test failure, or unexpected behavior, before proposing fixes - four-phase framework (root cause investigation, pattern analysis, hypothesis testing, implementation) that ensures understanding before attempting solutions
MicrosoftSkillmicrosoft/FluidFramework/.agency/plugins/nori/skills/test-driven-development/SKILL.md
Use when implementing any feature or bugfix, before writing implementation code - write the test first, watch it fail, write minimal code to pass; ensures tests actually verify behavior by requiring failure first
MicrosoftSkillmicrosoft/FluidFramework/.agency/plugins/nori/skills/testing-anti-patterns/SKILL.md
Use when writing or changing tests, adding mocks, or tempted to add test-only methods to production code - prevents testing mock behavior, production pollution with test-only methods, and mocking without understanding dependencies
MicrosoftSkillmicrosoft/FluidFramework/.agency/plugins/nori/skills/updating-noridocs/SKILL.md
Use this when you have finished making code changes and you are ready to update the documentation based on those changes.
MicrosoftSkillmicrosoft/FluidFramework/.agency/plugins/nori/skills/using-git-worktrees/SKILL.md
Use this whenever you need to create an isolated workspace.
MicrosoftSkillmicrosoft/FluidFramework/.agency/plugins/nori/skills/using-screenshots/SKILL.md
Use this to capture screen context.
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.
