# Microsoft Docs Research skill for the Microsoft technology ecosystem. Covers learn.microsoft.com and documentation that lives outside it (VS Code, GitHub, Aspire, Agent Framework repos). --- ## Default: Microsoft Learn MCP Use these tools for **everything on learn.microsoft.com** — Azure, .NET, M365, Power Platform, Agent Framework, Semantic Kernel, Windows, and more. This is the primary tool for the vast majority of Microsoft documentation queries. | Tool | Purpose | |------|---------| | `microsoft_docs_search` | Search learn.microsoft.com — concepts, guides, tutorials, configuration | | `microsoft_code_sample_search` | Find working code snippets from Learn docs. Pass `language` (`python`, `csharp`, etc.) for best results | | `microsoft_docs_fetch` | Get full page content from a specific URL (when search excerpts aren't enough) | Use `microsoft_docs_fetch` after search when you need complete tutorials, all config options, or when search excerpts are truncated. ### CLI Alternative If the Learn MCP server is not available, use the `mslearn` CLI from your terminal or shell (for example, Bash, PowerShell, or cmd) instead: ```bash # Run directly (no install needed) npx @microsoft/lea
- Default: Microsoft Learn MCP
- CLI Alternative
- Exceptions: When to Use Other Tools
- .NET Aspire — Use Aspire MCP Server (preferred) or Context7
- VS Code — Use Context7
- GitHub — Use Context7
- Agent Framework — Use Learn MCP + Context7
- Context7 Setup
- Writing Effective Queries
Run directly (no install needed) npx @microsoft/learn-cli search "BlobClient UploadAsync Azure.Storage.Blobs" Or install globally, then run npm install -g @microsoft/learn-cli mslearn search "BlobClient UploadAsync Azure.Storage.Blobs"
What does the microsoft-docs skill do?
Query official Microsoft documentation to find concepts, tutorials, and code examples across Azure, .NET, Agent Framework, Aspire, VS Code, GitHub, and more. Uses Microsoft Learn MCP as the default, with Context7 and Aspire MCP for content that lives outside learn.microsoft.com.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add github/awesome-copilot --skill microsoft-docs --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 github/awesome-copilot, a repository with 37,432 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.
