When to use
Use this skill when the user asks about:
- Building AI agents in .NET (C#) or Python using Microsoft Agent Framework
- MCP (Model Context Protocol) server and client implementation
- Agent-to-agent (A2A) communication and multi-agent orchestration
- Durable agents and workflows with Azure Durable Functions or Durable Task
- Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, or other LLM provider integrations
- Agent skills, context providers, middleware, and observability
- Declarative workflow definitions (YAML-based)
- Hosting agents on Azure Functions or as Foundry-hosted agents
- Migrating from AutoGen or Semantic Kernel to Agent Framework
