Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

Find working code samples, verify API signatures, and fix Microsoft SDK errors using official docs. Use whenever the user is writing, debugging, or reviewing code that touches any Microsoft SDK, .NET library, Azure client library, or Microsoft API—even if they don't ask for a "reference." Catches hallucinated methods, wrong signatures, and deprecated patterns. If the task involves producing or fixing Microsoft-related code, this is the right skill.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'microsoft-code-reference' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'microsoft-code-reference' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named microsoft-code-reference already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/mcp' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'f0a9478a954c9b3a7c6525a5183466902ca60731' -- 'skills/microsoft-code-reference' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/microsoft-code-reference' ~/.agents/skills/'microsoft-code-reference' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'microsoft-code-reference' ~/.claude/skills/'microsoft-code-reference' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
