Some SDK packages in this monorepo have package-specific skills — tribal knowledge (architecture, data flows, type mappings, pitfalls) that prevents common mistakes. Before modifying any SDK package, check whether a skill exists for it using the steps below.
Determine the package directory. If you already know the file path you're
modifying, extract the package directory from it (e.g., a file at
sdk/search/Azure.Search.Documents/src/SearchClient.cs belongs to the package
at sdk/search/Azure.Search.Documents/). If you only have a package name,
search for a matching directory under sdk/ or use .github/CODEOWNERS path
patterns to resolve the service area.
Check for a .github/skills/ directory inside the package directory. For
example, check whether sdk/search/Azure.Search.Documents/.github/skills/
exists.
If it exists, read every SKILL.md found under that directory. If a
references/ subdirectory exists next to a SKILL.md, read all files in it
too for additional context.
If no .github/skills/ directory exists for the package, no
package-specific skill has been created yet — proceed normally.
