Microsoft Code Reference
github/awesome-copilotOfficial
The microsoft-code-reference skill enables developers to verify Microsoft API usage by searching official documentation, retrieving working code samples, and validating SDK method signatures and parameters across Azure, .NET, and Microsoft Graph libraries. It serves developers using Microsoft technologies who need to confirm correct API methods, find language-specific implementation examples, and catch common errors like hallucinated methods, incorrect signatures, and deprecated patterns. The skill solves the problem of unreliable or outdated code generation by grounding responses in official Microsoft Learn documentation and verified sample code.

Tools
| Need | Tool | Example |
|---|---|---|
| API method/class lookup | microsoft_docs_search | "BlobClient UploadAsync Azure.Storage.Blobs" |
| Working code sample | microsoft_code_sample_search | query: "upload blob managed identity", language: "python" |
| Full API reference | microsoft_docs_fetch | Fetch URL from microsoft_docs_search (for overloads, full signatures) |
Finding Code Samples
Use microsoft_code_sample_search to get official, working examples:
microsoft_code_sample_search(query: "upload file to blob storage", language: "csharp")
microsoft_code_sample_search(query: "authenticate with managed identity", language: "python")
microsoft_code_sample_search(query: "send message service bus", language: "javascript")
When to use:
- Before writing code—find a working pattern to follow
- After errors—compare your code against a known-good sample
- Unsure of initialization/setup—samples show complete context
API Lookups
# Verify method exists (include namespace for precision)
"BlobClient UploadAsync Azure.Storage.Blobs"
"GraphServiceClient Users Microsoft.Graph"
