Build Azure Cosmos DB NoSQL services with Python/FastAPI following production-grade patterns. Use when implementing database client setup with dual auth (DefaultAzureCredential + emulator), service layer classes with CRUD operations, partition key strategies, parameterized queries, or TDD patterns for Cosmos. Triggers on phrases like "Cosmos DB", "NoSQL database", "document store", "add persistence", "database service layer", or "Python Cosmos SDK".

Build real-time voice AI applications using Azure AI Voice Live SDK (azure-ai-voicelive). Use this skill when creating Python applications that need real-time bidirectional audio communication with Azure AI, including voice assistants, voice-enabled chatbots, real-time speech-to-speech translation, voice-driven avatars, or any WebSocket-based audio streaming with AI models. Supports Server VAD (Voice Activity Detection), turn-based conversation, function calling, MCP tools, avatar integration, and transcription.

Clean code patterns for Azure AI Search Python SDK (azure-search-documents). Use when building search applications, creating/managing indexes, implementing agentic retrieval with knowledge bases, or working with vector/hybrid search. Covers SearchClient, SearchIndexClient, SearchIndexerClient, and KnowledgeBaseRetrievalClient.

Build AI agents using the Azure AI Agents Python SDK (azure-ai-agents). Use when creating agents hosted on Azure AI Foundry with tools (File Search, Code Interpreter, Bing Grounding, Azure AI Search, Function Calling, OpenAPI, MCP), managing threads and messages, implementing streaming responses, or working with vector stores. This is the low-level SDK - for higher-level abstractions, use the agent-framework skill instead.

Toolkit for interacting with and testing local web applications using Playwright. Supports verifying frontend functionality, debugging UI behavior, capturing browser screenshots, and viewing browser logs.

This skill enables visual inspection of websites running locally or remotely to identify and fix design issues. Triggers on requests like "review website design", "check the UI", "fix the layout", "find design problems". Detects issues with responsive design, accessibility, visual consistency, and layout breakage, then performs fixes at the source code level.

Guidelines for proper localization of VS Code extensions, following VS Code extension development guidelines, libraries and good practices

Guidelines for contributing commands in VS Code extensions. Indicates naming convention, visibility, localization and other relevant attributes, following VS Code extension development guidelines, libraries and good practices

Create, alter, and validate Snowflake semantic views using Snowflake CLI (snow). Use when asked to build or troubleshoot semantic views/semantic layer definitions with CREATE/ALTER SEMANTIC VIEW, to validate semantic-view DDL against Snowflake via CLI, or to guide Snowflake CLI installation and connection setup.

This skill should be used when the user asks to "test this website", "run exploratory testing", "check for accessibility issues", "verify the login flow works", "find bugs on this page", or requests automated QA testing. Triggers on web application testing scenarios including smoke tests, accessibility audits, e-commerce flows, and user flow validation using ScoutQA CLI. IMPORTANT: Use this skill proactively after implementing web application features to verify they work correctly - don't wait for the user to ask for testing.

Surgical code refactoring to improve maintainability without changing behavior. Covers extracting functions, renaming variables, breaking down god functions, improving type safety, eliminating code smells, and applying design patterns. Less drastic than repo-rebuilder; use for gradual improvements.
