Microsoft Foundry

A comprehensive toolkit for Microsoft Foundry's AI agent lifecycle, from containerized deployment through production optimization. Handles the complete workflow: builds Docker images, pushes to ACR, creates hosted agents, runs batch evaluations, and optimizes prompts based on performance data. The skill enforces a `.foundry/agent-metadata.yaml` workspace standard and includes specialized sub-skills for deployment, evaluation, troubleshooting, and RBAC management. It's designed for teams running production AI agents who need repeatable deployment pipelines and data-driven prompt optimization. The evaluation workflows are particularly robust, harvesting production traces into datasets and tracking performance regressions across agent versions.

Pre-Execution Requirements

Follow each applicable subsection below before starting its corresponding action or workflow.

Dependency Check and Setup

MANDATORY: As the first step after this skill loads, run the dependency check and setup script below from this skill's root and wait for it to finish before continuing. The script checks first and installs only missing dependencies; it does not reinstall dependencies that are already available.

You MUST complete this check before reading or entering any sub-skill, workflow, or workflow-specific reference.

./scripts/check-and-setup-dependencies.sh     # macOS / Linux
./scripts/check-and-setup-dependencies.ps1    # Windows (pwsh)

Strictly follow the script output for subsequent actions.
