Skill Introduction

Overview
Create a custom agent (.agent.md) for a specific job.

Core value

Turns reusable Documentation know-how into an installable skill, helping users complete github, community work faster.

Target users

  • Developers, testers, and maintainers who handle Documentation tasks in Focus Code.
  • Teams that already trust workflows or content from microsoft.
  • Users who want standardized prompts, steps, or conventions instead of repeating setup work.

Best practices

  • Read the skill content first to confirm required inputs, expected outputs, and dependencies.
  • Try it on a small task before relying on it for critical work.
  • Add project-specific constraints such as coding style, target platform, test expectations, and delivery format.
  • For external sources, verify the source link, version, and recent maintenance activity.

Best use cases

  • Tasks related to github, community that need a reusable execution flow.
  • Converting a community repo, team convention, or personal workflow into day-to-day assistance.
  • Starting from a proven skill instead of writing prompts or procedures from scratch.

Limits and boundaries

  • Results depend on the quality of the original skill content and may need human correction.
  • It does not replace code review, tests, security review, or professional judgment.
  • External tools, APIs, account permissions, and local dependencies still need separate setup.

Differentiation

  • Structured around Documentation, making it easier to discover and reuse than loose prompt snippets.
  • Marked as GitHub, which helps users judge trust and maintenance expectations.
  • Keeps the original source link available for repository, documentation, or discussion follow-up.
  • Tagged with github, community, so it can be filtered by concrete task intent.

Extract from Conversation

First, review the conversation history. If the user has been using the agent in a specialized way (e.g., restricting tools, following a specific persona, focusing on certain file types), generalize that into a custom agent. Extract:

  • The specialized role or persona being assumed
  • Tool preferences (which to use, which to avoid)
  • The domain or job scope

Clarify if Needed

If no clear specialization emerges from the conversation, clarify:

  • What job should this agent do?
  • When should it be picked over the default agent?
  • Which tools should it use (or avoid)?

Iterate

  1. Draft the agent file and save it.
  2. Identify the most ambiguous or weak parts and ask about those.
  3. Once finalized, summarize what the agent does, suggest example prompts to try it, and propose related customizations to create next.

Remember to follow the agent-customization guidelines to create highly effective agents.
