Azure IoT Skill

This skill provides expert guidance for Azure IoT. Covers architecture & design patterns, and integrations & coding patterns. It combines local quick-reference content with remote documentation fetching capabilities.

How to Use This Skill

IMPORTANT for Agent: Use the Category Index below to locate relevant sections. For categories with line ranges (e.g.,
L35-L120
), use
read_file
with the specified lines. For categories with file links (e.g.,
[security.md](security.md)
), use
read_file
on the linked reference file

IMPORTANT for Agent: If
metadata.generated_at
is more than 3 months old, suggest the user pull the latest version from the repository. If
mcp_microsoftdocs
tools are not available, suggest the user install it: Installation Guide

This skill requires network access to fetch documentation content:

Preferred: Use

mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch

with query string

from=learn-agent-skill

. Returns Markdown.

Fallback: Use

fetch_webpage

with query string

from=learn-agent-skill&accept=text/markdown

. Returns Markdown.
