name: microsoft-docs description: Use official Microsoft documentation to answer questions for TroubleScout (.NET SDK/C#/.NET 10, PowerShell 7.x, Windows Server, WinRM, publishing and security guidance).

Microsoft Docs (TroubleScout)

Use this skill when correctness depends on official Microsoft guidance (behavior, prerequisites, security constraints, configuration steps).

Tools to use (Microsoft Docs MCP)

• Search: mcp_microsoftdocs_microsoft_docs_search
• Fetch full pages: mcp_microsoftdocs_microsoft_docs_fetch
• Code samples (when you need authoritative snippets): mcp_microsoftdocs_microsoft_code_sample_search

When to use Microsoft docs

• .NET SDK/runtime behavior (especially publish/self-contained/single-file)
• PowerShell semantics and cmdlets
• WinRM / PowerShell remoting configuration
• Windows Server event logs, services, networking troubleshooting
• Security and least-privilege guidance for diagnostic tooling

PowerShell documentation (important)

Use the PowerShell documentation hub for anything about cmdlets, language behavior, remoting, and troubleshooting:

• https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/

Use the PowerShell hosting documentation when working on embedding/hosting PowerShell from C# (this repo uses the Microsoft.PowerShell.SDK NuGet package for hosting):

• https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/developer/hosting/adding-and-invoking-commands

Workflow

1. Frame the question with product + version + scenario.
   • Examples:
     • ".NET 10 self-contained publish single file runtimes folder"
     • "PowerShell 7.5 runspace invoke pipeline error handling"
     • "WinRM enable remoting prerequisites Windows Server 2022"
2. Prefer Microsoft Learn / official docs.
3. If a page excerpt isn’t enough (prereqs/steps/caveats), fetch the full doc and follow its sequence.
4. Translate into concrete repo actions (code change, packaging step, CLI behavior), keeping safety constraints explicit.

Output expectations

• Cite the authoritative source in your own words.
• Avoid guessing API names or flags; verify.
• If docs conflict with current repo behavior, call out the mismatch and propose the smallest safe change.
