Individual skills in this repo

This repo contains 9 individual skills — each has its own dedicated page.

microsoft/agent-sessions-layout

Agents workbench layout — covers the fixed layout structure, grid configuration, part visibility, editor modal, titlebar, sidebar footer, and implementation requirements. Use when implementing features or fixing issues in the Agents workbench layout.

microsoft/author-contributions

Identify all files a specific author contributed to on a branch vs its upstream, tracing code through renames. Use when asked who edited what, what code an author contributed, or to audit authorship before a merge. This skill should be run as a subagent — it performs many git operations and returns a concise table.

microsoft/azure-pipelines

Use when validating Azure DevOps pipeline changes for the VS Code build. Covers queueing builds, checking build status, viewing logs, and iterating on pipeline YAML changes without waiting for full CI runs.

microsoft/fix-errors

Guidelines for fixing unhandled errors from the VS Code error telemetry dashboard. Use when investigating error-telemetry issues with stack traces, error messages, and hit/user counts. Covers tracing data flow through call stacks, identifying producers of invalid data vs. consumers that crash, enriching error messages for telemetry diagnosis, and avoiding common anti-patterns like silently swallowing errors.

microsoft/hygiene

Use when making code changes to ensure they pass VS Code's hygiene checks. Covers the pre-commit hook, unicode restrictions, string quoting rules, copyright headers, indentation, formatting, ESLint, and stylelint. Run the hygiene check before declaring work complete.

microsoft/memory-leak-audit

Audit code for memory leaks and disposable issues. Use when reviewing event listeners, DOM handlers, lifecycle callbacks, or fixing leak reports. Covers addDisposableListener, Event.once, MutableDisposable, DisposableStore, and onWillDispose patterns.

microsoft/sessions

Agents window architecture — covers the agents-first app, layering, folder structure, chat widget, menus, contributions, entry points, and development guidelines. Use when implementing features or fixing issues in the Agents window.

microsoft/tool-rename-deprecation

Ensure renamed built-in tool references preserve backward compatibility. Use when renaming a toolReferenceName, tool set referenceName, or any tool identifier. Run on ANY change to tool registration code. Covers legacyToolReferenceFullNames for tools and legacyFullNames for tool sets.

microsoft/update-screenshots

Download screenshot baselines from the latest CI run and commit them. Use when asked to update, accept, or refresh component screenshot baselines from CI, or after the screenshot-test GitHub Action reports differences. This skill should be run as a subagent.

assistant-ui/tools

Registers LLM tools and renders custom tool-call UI in assistant-ui (@assistant-ui/react). Use when adding frontend-only tools with makeAssistantTool / useAssistantTool (browser actions like clipboard, navigation, localStorage, async-generator streaming, AbortSignal), rendering backend AI SDK tool() calls with makeAssistantToolUI / useAssistantToolUI (status.type running/complete/incomplete/requires-action, args, result, artifact via ToolCallMessagePartProps), building generative UI from tool results, or implementing human-in-the-loop and approval flows (addResult, resume with context.human(), respondToApproval for server-side needsApproval gates). Covers registering tool components inside AssistantRuntimeProvider and the case-sensitive toolName matching that connects a tool to its UI. Reach for this when tool UI is not rendering, a tool is not being called, or a result is not showing.
