Matched to the vendor's own GitHub organisation.

Install target

Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned github/awesome-copilot at 6c4d33b9cf.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

The Microsoft Docs skill provides access to official documentation and resources from Microsoft, enabling AI agents to retrieve accurate information about products like Azure, Office 365, Windows, and more. It supports querying technical details, best practices, and troubleshooting guides directly from the Microsoft knowledge base.

When to use it

  • You need detailed instructions on configuring a Microsoft service such as Azure Active Directory.
  • You're troubleshooting an issue with a Microsoft product and want official guidance.
  • You are looking for API references or SDK documentation related to Microsoft technologies.

Key capabilities

  • Access to up-to-date Microsoft technical documentation
  • Search across multiple Microsoft products and services
  • Retrieve structured information on APIs, configuration settings, and best practices

Example prompts

  • "How do I set up Azure Active Directory for single sign-on?"
  • "What are the steps to deploy a Windows Server 2022 virtual machine in Azure?"
  • "Show me the REST API reference for Microsoft Graph."

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure your query is specific to get accurate results from the documentation.
  • Some content may require access to a Microsoft account or subscription for full details.
