microsoft/agent-framework/dotnet/.github/skills/verify-samples-tool/SKILL.md
The verify-samples project (dotnet/eng/verify-samples/) is an automated tool that runs sample projects and verifies their output using deterministic checks and AI-powered verification. Important: By default, samples must be pre-built before running verify-samples. Build the solution first, or pass --build to build samples during the run: Then run verify-samples: The tool itself needs: - AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT — for the AI verification agent - AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_NAME (optional, defaults to gpt-5-mini) Individual samples require their own env vars (for example, FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT). The tool automatically checks…

When the user asks about portfolio risk or concentration: 1. Read references/risk-bands.md to understand the score bands and what drives them. 2. Compute each holding's market value (shares × price) — use the get_stock_price tool for current prices if you do not already have them. 3. Run scripts/risk_score.py with one --position VALUE argument per holding, e.g. --position 18518 --position 17201 --position 16177. 4. Report the 0-100 score, the band it falls in, and the largest single-position weight, then suggest (in…

When the user asks whether a stock is fairly valued, over-valued, or under-valued: 1. Read references/valuation-guide.md to pick a sensible target P/E for the company's sector. 2. Run scripts/valuation_metrics.py with the current price, trailing EPS, and the target P/E, e.g. --price 462.97 --eps 11.80 --target-pe 32. 3. Report the computed P/E, the fair-value estimate, and the percentage upside/downside, then state plainly whether the stock looks cheap or expensive on this measure. Always remind the user that a single P/E heuristic…

This file documents the structure and conventions of the .NET samples so that agents (AI or human) can maintain them without rediscovering decisions. 1. Progressive complexity: Sections 01→05 build from "hello world" to production. Within 01-get-started, projects are numbered 01–05 and each step adds exactly one concept.

Microsoft Agent Framework - a multi-language framework for building, orchestrating, and deploying AI agents. The skills under skills/ are distribution artifacts for developers building Agent Framework applications. They are not project skills for contributors working in this repository: - Do not load or invoke them as instructions for normal Agent Framework repository work. - Keep them outside .github/skills, .agents/skills, and .claude/skills so coding agents do not auto-discover them. - When a change affects public APIs, packages, samples, configuration, evaluation, integrations,…

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.
