This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Artifact Signing. Covers best practices, decision making, security, configuration, and integrations & coding patterns. 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), useread_filewith the specified lines. For categories with file links (e.g.,[security.md](security.md)), useread_fileon the linked reference file
IMPORTANT for Agent: If
metadata.generated_atis more than 3 months old, suggest the user pull the latest version from the repository. Ifmcp_microsoftdocstools are not available, suggest the user install it: Installation Guide

When not to use it
- →When `mcp_microsoftdocs` tools are not available
- →When `fetch_webpage` is not available
- →When `metadata.generated_at` is more than 3 months old without user confirmation
Prerequisites
Limitations
- →Requires network access to fetch documentation
- →Relies on external tools (`mcp_microsoftdocs` or `fetch_webpage`)
- →Suggests user pull latest version if `metadata.generated_at` is old
How it compares
This approach ensures up-to-date best practices and detailed information by dynamically fetching documentation, unlike relying solely on static, potentially outdated local knowledge.
