azure-service-fabric
Expert knowledge for Azure Service Fabric development including troubleshooting, best practices, decision making, architecture & design patterns, limits & quotas, security, configuration, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. Use when designing Service Fabric clusters, Reliable Services/Actors, reverse proxy/API gateways, backup/restore, or CI/CD, and other Azure Service Fabric related development tasks. Not for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) (use azure-kubernetes-service), Azure Container Apps (use azure-container-apps), Azure App Service (use azure-app-service), Azure Cloud Service
npx skills add MicrosoftDocs/Agent-Skills --skill azure-service-fabric --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

What it does
The skill provides expert guidance for Azure Service Fabric across troubleshooting, best practices, decision making, architecture and design patterns, limits and quotas, security, configuration, integrations and coding patterns, and deployment. It focuses on tasks like designing Service Fabric clusters, Reliable Services/Actors, reverse proxy/API gateways, backup/restore, or CI/CD related development tasks. It explicitly instructs agents to use a category index to locate relevant sections and to read linked reference files or specific line ranges from files when categories specify them.
How it works
- Use the Category Index to locate relevant sections.
- If a category specifies line ranges (e.g., L35-L120), call
read_filewith the specified lines. - If a category specifies file links (e.g.,
[security.md](security.md)), callread_fileon the linked reference file. - If
metadata.generated_atis more than 3 months old, suggest pulling the latest version from the repository. - If the required tooling (
mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetchorfetch_webpage) is unavailable, suggest installing it. - The skill requires network access to fetch documentation content and prefers
mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetchwith queryfrom=learn-agent-skill; fallback tofetch_webpagewith queryfrom=learn-agent-skill&accept=text/markdown.
When to use it
Use when working on Azure Service Fabric design and development tasks such as cluster design, Reliable Services/Actors, gateways, backup/restore, or CI/CD, and other related development activities. It excludes guidance for AKS, Azure Container Apps, Azure App Service, and Azure Cloud Services.
What it can touch
The skill declares tools: claude-code, copilot, codex. It requires network access to fetch documentation content via mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch or fetch_webpage.

# Azure Service Fabric Skill This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Service Fabric. Covers troubleshooting, best practices, decision making, architecture & design patterns, limits & quotas, security, configuration, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. 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](https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/mcp/blob/main/README.md) This skill requires **network access** to fetch documentation content: - **Preferred**: Use `mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch` with query string `from=learn-agent-skill`.

What does the azure-service-fabric skill do?
Expert knowledge for Azure Service Fabric development including troubleshooting, best practices, decision making, architecture & design patterns, limits & quotas, security, configuration, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. Use when designing Service Fabric clusters, Reliable Services/Actors, reverse proxy/API gateways, backup/restore, or CI/CD, and other Azure Service Fabric related development tasks.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add MicrosoftDocs/Agent-Skills --skill azure-service-fabric --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From MicrosoftDocs/Agent-Skills, a repository with 682 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
